Abstract:The structure of large-span stadiums has the characteristics of large span, complex and diverse structural forms, and high technology content. Its strong specificity brings great difficulty to design management. Combining with the Shanghai Pudong Football Stadium project, this paper discusses the innovative design management of large-span roof steel structure system and propose the main measures from the two aspects of design quality and design progress management. From the aspect of design quality management, it proposes to establish a quality control system including quality control process, theoretical calculation and analysis, test verification and health monitoring feedback, to breaks through the limitations of theoretical calculation. From the aspect of design progress management, it proposes to establish a special working group for roof steel structure design and form a centralized and efficient communication and review mechanism. Practice has proved that the above measures help to form a systematic management idea and a replicable management process, and provide a reference for the design management of similar projects.
