A new stand has been built at the Montebello Race Course, in Trieste, Italy. The project also includes all ancillary services. The design assumed a maximum wind velocity of 180 km/hr, as this order of wind strength is not unusual in that district. Every effort has also been made to provide fine visibility and protection against wind and rain. The final solution is based on the provision of a number of reinforced concrete trusses, which constitutes a very interesting structural manifold. Each truss consists of a main support, a side beam which helps to sustain the stand, a horizontal stabilising member, and a top cantilevered rib extending on both sides of the vertical member. The surface over the stand is an overhanging concrete slab supported on the ribs: this slab also extends behind the stand. The main supports rest on concrete footings, whilst the side beam is attached to the foundations by means of a hinge. Building started with the stands, as these were to support the formwork for the construction of the roofing slab and the powerful ribs on which the slab rests.
