Stephen Morley presents a study on the architectural engineering of Wembley Stadium, focusing on how dynamic loading from enthusiastic spectators, including rhythmic actions like swaying, clapping, and stamping, affects the structure. These activities, occurring at a frequency of up to 2.8 Hz, create complex load patterns that can be analyzed into simpler cyclic responses. The discussion also touches on post-Olympic enhancements such as roof additions at the Athens Olympic Stadium (OAKA), highlighting the evolution of stadium design to accommodate spectator movements.

IABSE Structures Rally Stephen Morley presents Architectural Engineering in Stadia
Dynamic Loading Caused by Enthusiastic spectators Rhythmic loads such as Swaying, Shoulder Clapping and Stamping. Each movement repeated at most 2.8 times per second – or 2.8 Hertz The seemingly complex trace of movement can be separated into simple cyclic load responses. Etc. Each progressively less energetic.
