Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. Note that those having low relevance to the present invention are omitted from the illustration.

[0017] 〔First Embodiment〕 According to FIGS. 1 and 2, the stadium building 10 having a stadium structure according to the first embodiment will be described.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 1, the stadium building 10 of the present embodiment includes a pitch 12, spectator seats 14 arranged around the pitch 12, and a building 16 provided outside the spectator seats 14.

[0019] The pitch 12 is, for example, a field where competitions such as soccer, rugby, and track and field are held. In the present embodiment, the pitch 12 is provided outdoors and there is no roof above the pitch 12. As an example, natural or artificial turf may be planted on the pitch 12. Also, the pitch 12 may be a dirt ground.

[0020] The spectator seats 14 are composed of a plurality of seats for viewing the pitch 12. The spectator seats 14 are provided so as to surround the pitch 12. In the present embodiment, the spectator seats 14 are arranged continuously along the circumferential direction of the pitch 12. The spectator seats 14 are inclined so as to have an upward gradient from the side closer to the pitch 12 toward the side farther away. Note that instead of the above configuration of the present embodiment, the spectator seats may not be continuous along the circumferential direction of the pitch. For example, a configuration in which there are no spectator seats in a part of the circumferential direction of the pitch may be used, or a configuration in which there are no spectator seats at the corner portions of a rectangular pitch may be used.

[0021] The building 16 is provided outside the spectator seats 14 when viewed from the pitch 12. In other words, the building 16 is provided on the opposite side of the pitch 12 with the spectator seats 14 in between. In the present embodiment, the building 16 is provided at a position facing a part of the circumferential direction of the spectator seats 14 in plan view.

[0022] The building 16 includes a main body portion 18 as a building main body arranged outside the spectator seats 14, and a facility 20 that projects onto the spectator seats 14 from the upper side of the main body portion 18. The facility 20 is configured to be able to overlook the pitch 12 from the end portion 20A side in the projecting direction (see FIG. 2).

[0023] As shown in Fig. 2, the main body 18 has a steel frame ramen structure composed of a plurality of floors (11 floors in this embodiment). In this embodiment, the main body 18 has a steel frame ramen structure with braces, but the structural form of the main body 18 can be changed. For example, the main body may have a ramen structure with shear walls. Also, the structural type of the main body may be a reinforced concrete structure, a steel-reinforced concrete structure, a wooden structure, or the like.

[0024] The main body 18 includes columns 34 respectively supported on a plurality of foundations 32 provided on the ground 30, and beams 36 provided between the columns 34. The beams 36 are arranged corresponding to a plurality of floors. A slab 38 is constructed on the upper part of the beams 36.

[0025] In this embodiment, the facility 20 protrudes above the spectator seats 14 in the range from the 5th floor part to the top 11th floor part of the main body 18. The lower part of the facility 20 corresponding to the range from the 1st floor part to the 4th floor part in the main body 18 is a release space 22. The spectator seats 14 are provided at a position including this release space 22.

[0026] At the position where the building 16 is provided, as an example, the spectator seats 14 include a 1st floor spectator seat 14A, a 2nd floor spectator seat 14B, and a 3rd floor spectator seat 14C. As an example, the spectator seats 14 are configured to be integrated with the main body 18. The 1st floor spectator seat 14A is arranged to have a downward slope from near the beam 36 on the ceiling side of the 1st floor of the main body 18 toward the ground 30 side. The 2nd floor spectator seat 14B protrudes with a downward slope from near the beam 36 on the ceiling side of the 2nd floor of the main body 18, and the overhanging length of the 2nd floor spectator seat 14B is shorter than the length in the inclined direction of the 1st floor spectator seat 14A. The 3rd floor spectator seat 14C protrudes with a downward slope from near the beam 36 on the ceiling side of the 3rd floor of the main body 18, and the overhanging length of the 3rd floor spectator seat 14C is shorter than the overhanging length of the 2nd floor spectator seat 14B. Instead of the above configuration of this embodiment, the overhanging lengths of the 1st floor spectator seat, the 2nd floor spectator seat, and the 3rd floor spectator seat may be made substantially the same.

[0027] In addition, at positions where the building 16 is not provided, the auditorium 14 is configured to include only the first-floor auditorium 14A (see Fig. 1). Although not shown, at positions where the building 16 is not provided, the first-floor auditorium 14A is supported by a plurality of columns. In addition, instead of the above configuration of the present embodiment, a roof may be provided above the first-floor auditorium, or a plurality of buildings may be provided.

[0028] In the present embodiment, the portion of the first-floor auditorium 14A on the pitch 12 side is exposed in front of the end 20A in the protruding direction of the facility 20. Instead of this configuration, the first-floor auditorium may be configured to be accommodated under the facility.

[0029] At the upper part of the building 16 (the part straddling the 10th and 11th floors in the present embodiment), a mega-truss 40 is formed by truss beams, and the rigidity is made greater than that of other floors of the building 16. The mega-truss 40 is an example of a rigid part. In the present embodiment, the mega-truss 40 is provided at the part where the main body 18 and the facility 20 are arranged in the upper part of the building 16.

[0030] The facility 20 includes outer columns 42 and a plurality of beams 36. In the vertical direction of the building 16, the plurality of beams 36 of the facility 20 are arranged at substantially the same positions as the plurality of beams 36 of the main body 18. The outer columns 42 of the facility 20 are suspended from the mega-truss 40 at the upper part of the building 16.

[0031] The facility 20 is, for example, a commercial facility, a residential facility, or an office facility. Examples of commercial facilities include accommodation facilities such as hotels, and facilities for commercial activities such as commodity sales and service provision in stores and restaurants. In addition, examples of residential facilities include housing-style facilities such as condominiums and rental houses. Note that the facility 20 may be a facility in which two or more facilities of other uses such as residential facilities, commercial facilities, and office facilities are provided together.

[0032] As an example, a roof eaves 50 that projects above the first-floor spectator seats 14A of the spectator seats 14 is provided below the facility 20. The roof eaves 50 may be a glass beam or a movable roof. Note that instead of the above configuration of the present embodiment, the building 16 may be configured not to provide the roof eaves 50 below the facility 20.

[0033] Although not shown in the drawings, when constructing the building 16, for example, at least the lower floors of the main body 18 are constructed, and shoring is provided at the portion that becomes the open space 22 outside the fourth floor portion of the main body 18. Further, from the fifth floor portion of the main body 18 onto the shoring, the beam 36 of the facility 20 is bent or the like to be constructed like a cantilevered eaves, and after the structure is completed, the shoring is removed to lower the beam 36 of the facility 20 to complete the building 16. Also, the beam 36 of the facility 20 may be constructed on the shoring and jacked down after the structure is completed to complete the building 16. Note that the construction method of the building 16 as described above is an example, and other construction methods may be used.

[0034] (Function and Effect) Next, the function and effect of the present embodiment will be described.

[0035] In the stadium building 10, a playing field 12, spectator seats 14, and a building 16 arranged outside the spectator seats 14 are provided. The building 16 includes a facility 20 that projects above the spectator seats 14, and is configured such that the playing field 12 can be viewed from the facility 20. Thereby, the facility 20 that projects above the spectator seats 14 can be used as a roof eaves, and a dedicated roof eaves covering the upper side of the spectator seats 14 can be omitted. Also, since the playing field 12 can be viewed from the end 20A side of the facility 20 that projects above the spectator seats 14, it is easier to view the playing field 12 compared to the case of viewing the playing field from a building outside the spectator seats.

[0036] Also, in the stadium building 10, the facility 20 is a residential facility or a commercial facility. Therefore, added value is generated in each of the stadium main body including the playing field 12 and the spectator seats 14 and the facility 20, and the convenience and usability are improved.

[0037] In the stadium building 10, a mega truss 40 is provided above the building 16, and the outer columns 42 of the facility 20 are suspended from the mega truss 40. Therefore, in the stadium building 10, compared with a configuration in which no mega truss is provided as a rigid part in the building, the facility 20 can significantly project from the main body 18 of the building 16.

[0038] 〔Second Embodiment〕 Next, a stadium building 60 having a stadium structure according to the second embodiment will be described. Note that the same components as those in the first embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions are omitted.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 3, the stadium building 60 of the second embodiment includes a pitch 12, a spectator seat 14, and a building 62 provided outside the spectator seat 14. In the stadium building 60 of the second embodiment, a building 62 is provided instead of the building 16 of the stadium building 10 of the first embodiment, and the configurations of the pitch 12 and the spectator seat 14 are the same as those of the stadium building 10 of the first embodiment.

[0040] The building 62 includes a main body portion 64 as a building main body disposed outside the spectator seat 14, and a facility 66 that projects above the spectator seat 14 from the upper side of the main body portion 64. The upper side from the intermediate portion in the vertical direction of the main body portion 64 is so-called set back, that is, it retreats in a direction away from the pitch 12 as it goes toward the upper side.

[0041] The facility 66 is disposed along the main body portion 64, and the upper side from the intermediate portion in the vertical direction of the facility 66 retreats in a direction away from the pitch 12 as it goes toward the upper side. The facility 66 is configured to be able to overlook the pitch 12 from the end 66A side in the projecting direction. The facility 66 includes outer columns 90 and beams 76, 78.

[0042] The main body portion 64 has a structure composed of a plurality of layers (about 17 layers in this embodiment). More specifically, the main body portion 64 includes columns 74 respectively supported on a plurality of foundations 72 provided on the ground 30, beams 76 provided between the columns 74 of the lower layer, and beams 78 provided between the columns 74 of the upper layer. Further, the main body portion 64 includes upper-layer columns 80 extending obliquely in a direction retreating from the pitch 12. In this embodiment, the upper part of the main body portion 64 above the vicinity of the 7th floor retreats in a direction away from the pitch 12.

[0043] In this embodiment, the facility 66 protrudes above the spectator seats 14 in the range from the 6th floor part to the top floor of the main body portion 64. The lower part of the facility 66 corresponding to the range from the 1st floor part to the 4th floor part in the main body portion 18 is a release space 22, and the spectator seats 14 are provided at a position including this release space 22. As an example, the spectator seats 14 are configured to be integrated with the main body portion 64.

[0044] The facility 66 is, for example, a commercial facility, a residential facility, or an office facility. Note that the facility 66 may be a facility in which two or more facilities of other uses such as a residential facility, a commercial facility, and an office facility are provided together.

[0045] In this embodiment, a canopy 100 that protrudes above the first-floor spectator seats 14A of the spectator seats 14 is provided below the facility 66, but the facility 66 may be configured without the canopy 100.

[0046] In the stadium building 60, the same operations and effects can be obtained with the same configuration as the stadium building 10 of the first embodiment.

[0047] 〔Third Embodiment〕 Next, a stadium building 110 having a stadium structure according to the third embodiment will be described. Note that the same reference numerals are given to the same components as those in the above-described first and second embodiments, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 4, the stadium building 110 of the third embodiment includes a building 112 disposed outside the spectator seats 14, instead of the building 16 of the first embodiment. The building 112 includes a main body portion 18 and a facility 20. In the building 112, instead of the megatrus 40 provided above the building 16 of the first embodiment, a truss structure 114 is provided at a position corresponding to the lower part of the facility 20. The truss structure 114 is an example of a rigid portion. In the present embodiment, the truss structure 114 is provided in a portion of the building 112 where the main body portion 18 and the facility 20 are disposed. In the building 112 of the present embodiment, the outer columns 42 of the facility 20 are supported by the truss structure 114. Other configurations of the stadium building 110 are the same as those of the stadium building 10 of the first embodiment.

[0049] In the stadium building 110, similar operations and effects can be obtained with a configuration similar to that of the stadium building 10 of the first embodiment.

[0050] Further, in the stadium building 110, the truss structure 114 is provided at a position corresponding to the lower part of the facility 20 in the building 112, and the outer columns 42 of the facility 20 are supported by the truss structure 114. Therefore, in the stadium building 110, compared with a configuration in which a rigid portion such as a truss structure is not provided in the building, the facility 20 can jump out greatly from the main body portion 18.

[0051] 〔Fourth Embodiment〕 Next, a stadium building 130 having a stadium structure according to the fourth embodiment will be described. Note that the same reference numerals are given to the same components as those in the first to third embodiments described above, and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 5, the stadium building 130 of the fourth embodiment includes a building 132 disposed outside the spectator seats 14 instead of the building 16 of the first embodiment. The building 132 includes a main body portion 18 and a facility 20. Instead of the megatrus 40 provided at the upper part of the building 16 in the first embodiment, a truss structure 134 is provided at a position corresponding to the vertical middle portion of the facility 20 in the building 132. The truss structure 134 is an example of a rigid portion. In the present embodiment, the truss structure 134 is provided in a portion of the building 132 where the main body portion 18 and the facility 20 are disposed. In the building 132 of the present embodiment, the outer column 42 above the truss structure 134 is supported by the truss structure 134, and the outer column 42 below the truss structure 134 is suspended by the truss structure 134. Other configurations of the stadium building 130 are the same as those of the stadium building 10 of the first embodiment.

[0053] In the stadium building 130, the same operations and effects can be obtained with the same configuration as the stadium building 10 of the first embodiment.

[0054] Also, in the stadium building 130, a truss structure 134 is provided at a position corresponding to the vertical middle portion of the facility 20 in the building 132. The outer column 42 above the truss structure 134 is supported by the truss structure 134, and the outer column 42 below the truss structure 134 is suspended by the truss structure 134. Therefore, in the stadium building 130, the facility 20 can jump out significantly from the main body portion 18 as compared with a configuration in which no rigid portion is provided in the building.

[0055] 〔Supplementary Explanation〕 In the first embodiment, the megatrus 40 is provided at the upper part of the building 16, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, a strong frame may be provided as a rigid portion at the upper part of the building. Further, a column or a beam thicker than the column 34 or the beam 36 on the lower side of the building may be provided as a rigid portion at the upper part of the building.

[0056] In the first, third, and fourth embodiments, the building is provided with the mega truss 40 or the truss structures 114 and 134 as rigid portions. However, the position or configuration of the rigid portions can be changed. For example, a plurality of rigid portions may be provided at intervals in the vertical direction of the building. Further, as the rigid portion, a strong frame may be provided, or a column or a beam thicker than the columns or beams of other portions of the building may be provided.

[0057] In the second embodiment, a rigid portion may be provided at a portion of the building 62 where the facility 66 is provided. For example, a rigid portion such as a truss structure may be provided at a portion corresponding to the lower part of the facility 66 in the building 62. Further, for example, a rigid portion such as a truss structure may be provided at an intermediate portion in the vertical direction of the position where the facility of the building is provided, or a rigid portion such as a truss structure may be provided at a position corresponding to the upper part of the facility in the building.

[0058] In the first to fourth embodiments, the buildings 16, 62, 112, and 132 are provided at positions facing a part in the circumferential direction of the spectator seats 14. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The range in which the building is provided in the circumferential direction of the spectator seats can be changed. For example, if the building does not obstruct the sunlight corresponding to the pitch, the building may be provided so as to surround the spectator seats instead of a part in the circumferential direction of the spectator seats.

[0059] In the first to fourth embodiments, the spectator seats 14 are integrated with the main body 18 or the main body 64. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the spectator seats may have a structure separated from the main body of the building.

[0060] In the first to fourth embodiments, the spectator seats 14 are not provided with a roof. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, a roof may be provided at a portion of the spectator seats other than the position where the facility is provided.

[0061] Although the present invention has been described in detail with respect to specific embodiments, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and various other embodiments are possible within the scope of the present invention.
