Solar Study and Inferences
SECTION
JULY MARCH DECEMBERSEPTEMBER
Following observations were made.
1.During July the incident solar
angle is overhead.
2. This fixes the design criteria for
the shadow for the spectators
beneath the roof structure of the
Main Grand Stand.
3.Hence the cantilever arms can be
fixed without considering
structural issues
