INSTRUCTION: Read the scenario below and answer the questions The local Cricket Stadium will be used for several games during the National Annual Cricket League. OVERCOMING THE LIMITATIONS OF STADIUM ROOFS

The stadium has a grandstand, but it has no roof.

In many instances, a stadium roof makes sound business edged sword. In large stadiums, where they are mainly sense for developers, but these roofs are also a double$-$ used for both sporting and non$-$sporting events, roofs protect the spectators from environmental effects such as

sun, rain, and wind.

You are requested to use your knowledge on structures to design and make a scale model of a roof for the grandstand on stadium.

REQUIREMENTS

$1.$ The roof must extend to cover the entire main grandstand.

$2.$ The roof should provide spectators with protection and a safe unobstructed view of $3.$ The roof must be an effective, efficient, and dynamic solution that will enhance

$4.$ The passages on either side of the main grandstand must be modified to prevent danger of injury to spectators due to crowd pressure. $($As it happened tragically b

other stadiums e$.$g$.,$ Ellis Park in $2001).$

$5.$ The size of the scale model of the roof should adhere to $600$ mm x $250$ mm$.6.$ The construction of the scale model should not exceed R $500.$
