INTRODUCTION
On the evening of August 13, 2011, the Temporary Ground-Supported Structure Used to Cover the Stage
Area and Support Equipment in the Production of Outdoor Entertainment Events (hereinafter referred to
as the ISF Structure) that was erected over the Grandstand Stage at the Indiana State Fairgrounds
collapsed prior to the commencement of the evenings headline music event. This failure resulted in
seven (7) fatalities and many injuries.

ASSIGNMENT AND ROLE OF THORNTON TOMASETTI


Thornton Tomasetti (TT) was retained by the Indiana State Fair Commission (ISFC) for the purposes of
rendering an independent Cause and Origin opinion regarding the failure of the ISF Structure. TT was
initially contacted on Sunday, August 14, 2011 regarding its availability and expertise in relation to
undertaking such an investigation. On Monday, August 15, 2011, TT was requested to be present at the
incident site in order to commence an investigation. TT performed initial reconnaissance and attended a
briefing on the afternoon of August 15, and began a formal investigation on Tuesday, August 16, 2011.
Through the month of November 2011, TT deployed an on-site investigative staff of two to seven forensic
engineers and/or architects. This on-site staff was supported by office-based professionals who provided
additional subject matter expertise, as well as post-processing and analysis of the data collected at the
site.

TT Project No. C11137.00

TTs role consisted of defining the engineering-based causation of the failure, in addition to documenting
and archiving the collapse scene including structural and non-structural components in a highly detailed
manner (refer to Section 3.0). This investigation required TT to perform a code analysis and an
evaluation of relevant best practices of the engineering and entertainment industries. TT was responsible
for coordination of on-site activities and personnel involved with the investigation of the ISF Structure.
This role included collaboration with Indiana Department of Homeland Security and Indiana State Police
personnel to establish a credentialing and site access control system (refer to Site Access Protocol in
Appendix C.3), interaction with other agencies and personnel involved with investigative work and
coordination of third-party contractors for the stabilization and subsequent relocation of the debris. A
chain of custody system for components from the ISF Structure was established and maintained for
evidence that was transported off-site. TT was also asked to provide recommendations for improvements
in the practices surrounding the design, erection and use of similar structures at the Indiana State Fair
and other venues in the State of Indiana.
Based on TTs lack of access to both Interested Parties for interviews and documents from formal
discovery proceedings, the investigation did not include an evaluation of decision-making associated with
the collapse incident.
A second professional services firm, Witt Associates, is preparing an assessment focusing on the state of
preparedness and plans in place before the incident and how actions taken on August 13, 2011 compare
to those plans, standards and best practices.
However, notwithstanding the aforementioned, the reader should note that TT has investigated and is
presenting here a discussion of deviations from Building Code, Industry Standards and Best Practices in
this document.

LIMITATIONS
TTs professional services have been performed in accordance with the standards of skill and care
generally exercised by other professional consultants acting under similar circumstances and conditions
at the time the services were performed.
TTs findings, conclusions and opinions are based on TTs visual observations, professional experience,
interviews with those knowledgeable about the conditions pertinent to the subject of the investigation,
evaluation of reviewed documentation, and sound investigation practices.
While TTs findings are summarized as of the date of issuance, should new information or additional
documentation become available, TT may amend or revise its opinions and recommendations
accordingly.
No warranty, expressed or implied, is made as to the findings presented in this report.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Thornton Tomasettis investigation of the August 13, 2011 Indiana State Fair Collapse Incident has
resulted in findings that identify deficiencies in the design, erection and use of the ISF Structure. These
findings are summarized below and are presented in greater detail within the sections of this report.
Structure Description
The ISF Structure is the property of Mid America Sound Corporation (MAS), and is erected on the Indiana
State Fairgrounds on an annual basis to serve as the roof and rigging support for concerts and other
entertainment events associated with the State Fair that are located on the Grandstand Stage. MAS
personnel coordinate the erection of the structure utilizing labor from the International Alliance of
Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States,
Its Territories and Canada (IATSE) Local #30. The ISFC contracts directly with both MAS and IATSE for
the delivery of these services.
The ISF Structure is a modular aluminum lattice superstructure comprising multiple pre-fabricated truss
components manufactured by James Thomas Engineering, a company based in the United Kingdom with
United States operations and manufacturing. The roof portion of the system is supported by truss
columns bearing on the top surface of the reinforced concrete slab that forms the roof of the below-grade
back of the house spaces (dressing rooms, offices, etc.) for the Grandstand Stage, which is situated
alongside the southern straightaway of the racetrack north of the main grandstands. This overhead
structure is utilized to support suspended entertainment technology equipment for the various
performances at the Grandstand Stage. The overall plan dimensions of the ISF Structure are
approximately 107 feet by 57 feet, and the top elevation of the ridge of the structure is 56 feet above the
ground/track elevation.
As noted above, the roof superstructure portion is supported on columns that resist gravity loads;
however, the primary lateral force resisting system employed at the ISF Structure is a guy line system.
This system consists of guy lines connected to Jersey barriers that provide lateral resistance through
self-weight and friction. The Jersey barriers utilized in the ISF Structure are located on various ground
surface conditions consisting of gravel, grass, sand and asphalt.
The guy line system at the ISF Structure comprises several different components including 3/8 diameter
wire rope, steel rigging shackles and synthetic webbing ratchet straps. The ratchet straps are used to
reduce slack in the guying system. A total of fourteen (14) guy lines connect to ten (10) Jersey barriers
within the system.
Investigation Methodology
TT conducted a detailed close-hand evaluation and documentation of debris from the ISF Structure.
Components of the structure and suspended equipment were identified using a unique nomenclature that
enabled investigators to locate the physical position from which a specific component originated. This
tagging system was used to develop an inventory and to identify components for TTs analytical studies.
Since design/engineering drawings of the ISF Structure were not available to Thornton Tomasetti, the
tagging system was utilized to generate a model of the as-built conditions of the structure. To aid in the
investigation, a database was established of the items tagged. Failures observed at each of the

INDIANA STATE FAIR COMMISSION


Report on August 13, 2011 Collapse Incident

Page 7 of 110

April 3, 2012
TT Project No. C11137.00

components were recorded and photographed. The database was utilized to manage field-recorded data
while correlating related photographs and other field-recorded imagery. A laser scan of the post-collapse
site was also utilized to capture the collapse scene with millions of survey points in the form of threedimensional point cloud image of the collapsed structure. This point cloud was also utilized to establish
specific three-dimensional orthogonal locations for the evidence at the site.
Codes and Standards Review
TT evaluated both the governing codes and standards applicable to the ISF Structure in addition to the
available documents related to the design, erection and use of such structures. Evaluation of the
International Building Code (IBC) provisions for Use and Occupancy, Structural Loading, Temporary
Structures and Permitting was performed. In addition, the reference standards ASCE/SEI 7: Minimum
Design Loads for Building and Other Structures and ASCE 37: Design Loads on Structures during
Construction were utilized in TTs analysis.
Industry standards from the Entertainment Services and Technology Association (ESTA) and the
Professional Lighting and Sound Association (PLASA) were also reviewed and compared to international
standards of a similar nature.
The Indiana Building Code amendments to the International Building Code 2006 edition were evaluated,
in particular the variations between the boilerplate language and the modifications made within the State
of Indiana with regard to Use and Occupancy, Structural Loading and Temporary Structures, as well as
Permitting and Enforcement.
Analysis
TT performed several different types of analysis to evaluate the performance and capacities of the ISF
Structure utilizing detailed wind and weather analysis provided by RWDI. These studies included a
physical wind tunnel evaluation of a scale model of the ISF Structure to determine loads on the structure.
A finite element method (FEM) analysis was performed utilizing the detailed data that was collected
during the on-site investigation. Member sizes, configuration and geometry were replicated in the
analysis model. Two different types of FEM analysis were performed. The first, an incremental failure
analysis, determined the collapse mechanism and sequence. The second analysis applied the full wind
load case to determine whether the structure would have maintained stability if the guy line and ballast
had been sufficient.
As a check of the analysis results, a very simplified linear elastic hand calculation check was done of the
ISF Structure lateral resistance system. The capacity of the structure was analyzed by calculating the
stiffness of each component in the north and west direction and determining the distribution of lateral
forces based on stiffness.
A third study, the Simplified Analysis or Reasonable Engineer study was conducted to identify the types
of assumptions that would be appropriate in evaluating the stability of a structure of this type. Further, it
was intended to demonstrate the impact of those assumptions and highlight critical information essential
to reasonably carrying out an analysis of this type of structure.

SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS


1. The failure of the ISF Structure, as defined on Page 5 of this report, was due to the inadequate
capacity of the lateral load resisting system, which was comprised of guy lines connected to
concrete Jersey barrier ballast.
2. The ISF Structure was shown to fail at wind speeds lower than those specified under even the
most liberal provisions of applicable building codes and reference standards.
3. Based on testing and calculation, it was determined the lateral load resisting system of the ISF
Structure as rigged on August 13, 2011 was capable of resisting winds speeds ranging from 25
miles per hour to 43 miles per hour (depending on wind direction).
4. Calculations and in-situ physical testing determined the Jersey barrier ballast system had grossly
inadequate capacity to resist both the minimum code-specified wind speed (68 miles per hour)
and the actual wind speed that was present at the time of the failure (approximately 59 miles per
hour).
5. Even if the ballast system had provided sufficient resistance, the synthetic webbing ratchet straps
and wire rope guy lines used did not have sufficient strength to resist forces resulting from the
North wind case under the wind loads of August 13, 2011 that were of a smaller magnitude than
the code-specified requirements.
6. Even if the ballast system and guy line system had provided sufficient strength to resist the wind
loads, the fin plate connections to the structure did not have sufficient strength to resist forces
resulting from the North, West and Northwest wind cases under the wind loads of August 13,
2011 that were of a smaller magnitude than the code-specified requirements.
7. The ISF Structure was shown to fail at the August 13, 2011 wind speed without the addition of
loading caused by the roof tarp displacement.
8. Timing of the roof tarp ridge panel release would not have had an effect on maintaining stability of
the ISF Structure.
9. The technical information presented in the James Thomas Engineering catalog is insufficient to
adequately design a structure such as the ISF Structure, yet there is no explicit direction to
engage the services of a licensed design professional to analyze complex loading configurations
or conditions.
10. Structural analysis performed by James Thomas Engineerings structural engineer falls short of
adequately addressing the actual loading conditions of the Sugarland set and suspended
entertainment technology equipment for the 2010 show (for which the structure was analyzed) or
the code-defined environmental loading conditions to which the ISF Structure could be subjected.
11. There is no evidence of an engineering review of the 2011 Sugarland Rigging Plot by a licensed
design professional prior to August 13, 2011.
12. Regardless of the inadequacy of the directions of James Thomas Engineerings structural
engineer, Mid America Sound Corporations installation of the ISF Structure deviated from the
INDIANA STATE FAIR COMMISSION
Report on August 13, 2011 Collapse Incident

Page 9 of 110

April 3, 2012
TT Project No. C11137.00

directions provided in the calculations performed by that structural engineer with regard to the
lateral load resisting system.
13. Mid America Sound Corporations configuration and erection of the ISF Structure did not include
a review by a licensed design professional to determine the capacities or limitations of the ISF
Structure.
14. The current interpretation of governing code language in the State of Indiana waives
requirements for the appropriate design, review, permitting or inspection of structures such as the
ISF Structure, despite the fact that these are highly complex constructions erected in the vicinity
of high population densities.
15. The Indiana State Fair Commission staff has no records, documentation, plans, engineering
reports or related technical data regarding the ISF Structure that is erected at the Fairgrounds on
an annual basis.
16. The Indiana State Fair Commission staff does not have knowledge regarding the wind limitations
of the ISF Structure sufficient to establish an appropriate risk mitigation plan for the Grandstand
Stage site.

SUMMARY OF KEY RECOMMENDATIONS


1. Entertainment structures should be designed by a licensed design professional with experience in
the design and evaluation of temporary entertainment structures with complex loading
configurations. Analysis should be performed for the engineered structure and for the
establishment of highly specific rigging rules and limitations for its use. For productions that do
not conform to the resulting pre-approved rigging configurations, a separate engineering
analysis should be performed.
2. The design referenced above should be subject to all code and permitting requirements of Class
1 structures, in addition to a third-party peer review if the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) does
not have adequate capability to perform the plan review. This review should be performed for the
engineered structure and for the established rigging rules and limitations for its use. For
productions that do not conform to the pre-approved rigging configurations, a separate review
should be performed.
3. A Special Inspection of the completed structure should be completed by an independent licensed
design professional with experience in the design and/or evaluation of temporary structures.
4. Operational controls implemented or considered in the design and use of entertainment
structures should reflect the complexity of modern productions, including the limited ability to
rapidly reduce loads by removing the suspended entertainment technology used in these
productions. Systems should be designed for the appropriate code-prescribed wind speeds, and
operational contingency plans should also be developed to address extreme events such as high
winds.

5. Environmental and site-specific loading conditions should be analyzed for the specific structure to
be erected and the suspended entertainment technology equipment to be suspended.
6. Structure Class and Occupancy classifications of entertainment structures should be based on
both the risk and hazards associated with their failure and on their cumulative exposure to risk
from wind loads and varying rigging loads, rather than their exposure in an individual season of
use.
7. Modifications to model codes and reference standards should not alter the intent of the original
code language with regard to life-safety, nor should local amendments partially delete model
provisions that are not properly addressed elsewhere in those local amendments.
8. Guy line anchor systems for entertainment structures should utilize fixed, mechanical anchors
whenever possible.
9. The entertainment industry would benefit from the development of comprehensive engineeringbased documents related to the design, construction and use of entertainment structures.

INCIDENT DESCRIPTION
Location, Date and Timeline
According to timecard records obtained from the Indiana State Fair Commission, the ISF
Structure was erected on the permanent stage located north of the Hoosier Lottery Grandstand
between the dates of August 2 and August 4, 2011. The ISF Structure was to be used as the
overhead rigging grid for headliner concerts that were organized as part of the Indiana State Fair,
which took place between August 5 and August 21, 2011. Note: All dates and times mentioned
hereafter in this document are with reference to Eastern Daylight Saving Time (EDT).
According to tour information obtained during the investigation (see Appendix A.1), the timeline
for August 13, 2011 was scheduled as follows:
8:00 am

Load-in begins

3:00 pm

Sound checks begin

6:30 pm

Doors open for patrons

7:30 pm

Sara Bareilles opening act

8:45 pm

Sugarland performance

10:00 pm

As per the schedule, the live performance by Sara Bareilles was to commence at 7:30 pm and
end at 8:15 pm. After the Sara Bareilles performance, Sugarland was scheduled to perform on
the stage at 8:45 pm. At approximately 8:49 pm, the ISF Structure collapsed.
1.2

Meteorological Information
Thunderstorms developed in Indiana ahead of a cold front during the afternoon and into the early
evening of August 13, 2011. At 6:00 pm, the National Weather Services Storm Prediction Center
in Norman, Oklahoma issued Severe Thunderstorm Watch number 777 for central Indiana. At the
time, the Emergency Alert System bulletin noted that this particular thunderstorm line was
capable of producing wind gusts of up to 70 miles per hour. The severe weather reports started
after 7:00 pm. As these storms moved across central Indiana, they brought damaging winds and
large hail to the area. At 8:39 pm, the National Weather Service in Indianapolis issued a Severe
Thunderstorm Warning for all of Marion County effective until 9:45 pm. As per the warning
bulletin, this specific severe thunderstorm cell was capable of producing winds in excess of 60
miles per hour and was heading eastward at approximately 25 miles per hour.
According to the bulletin, at approximately 8:50 pm, the storms would be near Danville, Indiana, a
city that is approximately 20 miles west of the Indiana State Fairgrounds. The storms continued to
move eastward across the Indianapolis metropolitan area through 9:30 p.m., producing additional
wind and hail.

INFORMATION SOURCES
Document Requests
Throughout the course of the investigation, documentation provided to Thornton Tomasetti from
involved parties was extremely limited in nature. Despite multiple requests to representatives of
Mid America Sound and James Thomas Engineering, counsel for these firms denied the requests
for information made by both TT and counsel for the Indiana State Fair Commission. As a result,
TT was forced to rely heavily on field documentation and survey work to determine the geometry
and construction details of the ISF Structure. Components were field-surveyed, measured and
documented in a highly detailed manner so that a reverse engineering of the ISF Structure
could be completed.
The documents listed below represent the extent of technical
documentation received /obtained by TT.
It should be noted that, based on a review of the Indiana State Fair Stage Collapse Investigation
Occupational Safety and Health Administration Log of Redactions & Documents Withheld dated
February 2012, TT determined that many of the specific types of documents requested by TT
were produced for the Indiana Occupational Health and Safety Administration (IOSHA) as part of
the Department of Labor investigation, yet declared a Trade Secret by Mid America Sound
and/or James Thomas Engineering, thereby preventing release of said documents for review by
TT. Refer to Appendix B.1 for the IOSHA log.

2.2

Sugarland Plot (Epic)


The rigging plot dated May 16, 2011 for the production design of the 2011 Sugarland tour was
generated by Epic Production Technologies. TT was forwarded an electronic copy of this file on
August 15, 2011 from Margaret Davidson of the Indiana State Fair Commission who received it
on August 14, 2011 from Eric Milby, contractor for Dave Lucas Entertainment.
This plot was used to provide the geometry and weights of the suspended entertainment
technology equipment to the parties responsible for erecting and rigging the ISF Structure. It
provides details of the rigging chain hoists in terms of their quantity, approximate location on the
ISF Structure, capacities and the height at which the lighting trusses were to be supported or
suspended (trim height). Also, the rigging plot provides details of the chain hoists that were to be
suspended below the lighting trusses to support additional equipment, although a description of
these secondary suspended loads is not provided.

2.3

Black and White Grid Layout


This drawing was received from Indiana State Fair Commission staff and provides overall
geometry of the plan and elevation of the ISF Structure, as it was intended to be configured in
2010. It depicts a grid of trusses supported on columns. The structures dimensions are noted as
76-6 x 58-0 in plan and 35 in height from the stage surface to the bottom of the super truss
grid. The interior bays of the truss grid are depicted as 16 x 16. The allowable weight per span
was noted to be 10,000 lbs and the total weight of the structure was not to exceed 54,000 lbs
(including any loads to be suspended from the system).

Data in Band Contracts


The Sugarland 2011 Tour Contract Rider dated January 18, 2010 contains a paragraph (G) titled
Outdoor Performance on page 14. This section states that For outdoor performances, the stage
MUST have a 60 x 48 self-supporting, load-bearing stage roofThis load bearing roof should
span the performance stage by its fullest dimensions and be able to support a rigging weight
capacity minimum of 40,000 lbs.

2.5

James Thomas Engineering Catalog


The James Thomas Engineering (JTE) 2006 catalog (2006 Product Range) was downloaded by
TT on August 16, 2011 from http://www.jthomaseng.com. The document provides information

DATA ACQUISITION AND PROTOCOLS


The investigation proceeded in accordance with ASTM E 1459-92 Standard Guide for Physical
Labeling and Related Documentation. Due to the catastrophic failure of the ISF Structure, all major
structural and load-imposing components of the structure were labeled to aid in searching for and/or
ruling out possible failure mechanisms. The labeling of the major components of the ISF Structure
required the implementation of a tagging nomenclature that would allow other parties having
various levels of familiarity with the site or the structure to clearly reconstruct the pre-collapse
scene. Nomenclature was developed to maintain a logical numerical inventory of the different types
of components in the structure and the failures observed, and to facilitate the diagrammatic
reconstruction of the pre-collapse scene utilizing post-collapse scene observations. Since drawings
of the collapsed structure were not available at the time of the investigation, the tagging
nomenclature was utilized to generate a model of the as-built conditions of the structure. To aid in
the investigation, a database was established of the items tagged. Failures observed at each of the
components were recorded and photographed. The database was utilized to manage field-recorded
data while correlating related photographs and other field-recorded imagery. A laser scan of the
post-collapse site was also utilized to capture the collapse scene with millions of survey points in the
form of a three dimensional point cloud image of the collapsed structure. This point cloud was
utilized to establish specific three-dimensional orthogonal locations for evidence at the site.

3.1

Documentation

3.1.1 Tagging System


A unique identifier code or tag was assigned to each major component in the ISF Structure
to generate a universal identification of the component as it pertained to its intended use
and/or location on the structure. See Appendix C.1 for a detailed diagrammatic description of
this tagging nomenclature system.
The unique identifier for each of the elements tagged was generated with the intent of having
the alpha-numeric tag indicate the specific location within the structure at which the
component was located relative to a pre-designated grid. The pre-designated grid was
established using the southwest corner of the structure as the datum from which other points
were located. Component identification was based on using the southwest corner as the
origin and numbering sequentially to the east, north and skyward as appropriate. Moreover,
the identification tags specifically indicate the points of connection of the various components
within the ISF Structure. To record specific failures in columns, main trusses and nodes, a
localized nomenclature was implemented to identify locations at which failures were
observed. The localized labeling of elements was only implemented if damage was observed.
This secondary system indicates which plane the element being labeled was in, the element
number on the face of the component counting from the bottom up for columns or from the
most western or most southern point for elements such as main trusses, purlins or gable roof
trusses. The failures recorded consisted of: Base Metal Failure; Weld Failure; Buckling;
Rupture; Yielding; Tearing; Impact; and Weld Delamination. The recording of localized
failures was of particular importance for the columns as it was imperative to identify failure
types on the column end-plate splices.

Other unique identifiers were utilized in documenting the guy line system. The wire rope and
ratchet strap lengths were measured so the pre-collapse location and connection points of
the Jersey barriers could be determined.
In addition to the components of the ISF Structure, the suspended entertainment technology
equipment components and hardware were also cataloged and tagged. Recorded information
consisted of location, geometry, size and mass of the suspended components. Moreover,
the points at which the suspended components connected to the main structure and purlins
were also recorded. Sling locations were noted and physically marked on the overhead
structure. Chain and sling lengths were also measured to determine the trim height of the
suspended components. This information was entered into the database and was utilized in
the calculation of weight distribution in TTs subsequent analysis (see Appendix F.20).

3.1.2 Database
Product code labels and years of manufacture were recorded and photographed when they
were located on the components. Photographs taken of the tagged evidence were entered
into the database, along with relevant information regarding the type of failure, location of the
failures, location of the component, manufacturer, year of manufacturing, place of
manufacturing for the truss elements or rigged component and rated capacities where
applicable (see Appendix F.20 for database report output.). The implementation of the
database permitted the information recorded in the field to be easily sorted and queried to
identify patterns that would aid the investigation process. The system also permitted field
verification and quality assurance/quality control checks of the data when anomalies were
identified.

3.1.3 Photographs
All components identified, tagged and entered in the database were also photographed
during the on-site investigation. This information was utilized to facilitate both the modeling
and the analysis of the ISF Structure. Post-collapse photographs were also annotated with
the tagging nomenclature to aid in the investigation and to correlate close-hand images with
the overall geometry of the post-collapse scene.
3.1.4 Laser Scan
In order to accurately document the post-collapse geometry and configuration of the site, TT
employed laser scanning technology to generate a detailed electronic three-dimensional
model of the ISF Structure and surrounding elements. Laser scanning was conducted by
professionals from True Design Services, Inc.
3D

A FARO Laser Scanner Focus was utilized in this process. The unit is a three-dimensional
laser scanner capable of capturing highly detailed measurement data through the use of laser
technology.
The resulting image is an assembly of millions of three-dimensional
measurement points that provide a digital reproduction of existing conditions.
The scanner emits a laser beam from a rotating mirror out towards the area being scanned.
Then the unit distributes the laser beam at a maximum vertical range of 305 and a maximum
horizontal range of 360. The laser beam is reflected back to the scanner by objects in its
path. The distance to the objects is calculated as well as their relative vertical and horizontal
positions.
The scanner generates points with an x, y and z measurement assigned to each point.
Several scans from multiple locations are combined to generate a three-dimensional image of
an object (the point cloud). Before starting the data acquisition, spherical targets are placed
around the site in various locations. These are used as reference points by the scanner to
correlate images from the multiple scans into one contiguous image/model. A total of 37
scans were performed at the ISF Structure site (see Appendix C.2 for scan locations).
The scanner also has an integrated camera that allows photographs to be superimposed on
the point cloud. This imagery is used by the system to associate color with the scanned
points.
After the scans are completed and the data is processed, proprietary software can be used to
navigate through the three-dimensional electronic model and measure elements contained
within it.

SITE AND STRUCTURE DESCRIPTION


Site Description
The ISF Structure was erected at the Indiana State Fairgrounds located at 1202 East 38th Street,
in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana (see Figure 5). It was erected on a reinforced concrete
stage structure located alongside the southern straightaway of the racetrack, north of the
grandstands of the Indiana State Fairgrounds (see Figure 6 and Figure 7). To the south, an
approximately 85- foot-wide racetrack separated the ISF Structure from a steel-framed
grandstand structure. The ISF Structure was surrounded to the west, north and east by open
unobstructed terrain. At the time of the collapse there were numerous semi-trailers, box-trucks,
motor coaches, office trailers and other smaller vehicles in the direct vicinity of the ISF Structure.
Additionally, during the concert event, seats for concert viewers were located directly south of the
ISF Structure on the racetrack (see Figure 8. Note several vehicles and seating were removed
subsequent to the collapse and before this image was captured).

Description of the ISF Structure


The ISF Structure is a modular aluminum lattice superstructure comprising multiple prefabricated
truss sections manufactured by James Thomas Engineering. The roof portion of the structure is
supported by truss columns bearing (without mechanical connection) on the top surface of the
reinforced concrete slab that forms the roof of the below-grade back of the house spaces
(dressing rooms, offices, etc.) for the Grandstand Stage. This concrete surface is located
approximately 3-6 above the surrounding ground/track elevation. The overall plan dimensions of
the ISF Structure are approximately 107 feet by 57 feet, and the top elevation of the ridge of the
structure is 56 feet above the ground/track elevation.
Based on the field survey of component labels and placards, the ISF Structures components
were manufactured between 1995 and 2010. Some components were manufactured
domestically, while others were produced in the United Kingdom. Details are provided in the
Photo Database (see Appendix F.20).
The weight of the structure and suspended entertainment technology equipment was established
by weighing representative components in the field. The total self-weight of the structure is
approximately 25,300 lbs and total weight of suspended entertainment technology equipment
supported by the ISF Structure is approximately 44,300 lbs.
For the purposes of this report, the components of the ISF Structure have been grouped into four
(4) sub-groups: superstructure, column truss towers, suspended entertainment technology

equipment and lateral load resisting elements. Figures 10 and 11 depict exploded views of the
ISF Structure. Note that for clarity, the suspended entertainment technology equipment and
lateral load resisting elements are not shown, and the blue roof tarp (membrane) is depicted as a
single one-piece component.
The lateral load resisting system consists of fourteen (14) guy lines that are connected to ten (10)
reinforced concrete Jersey barriers. The guy lines are 3/8" diameter steel wire ropes and are
tightened with the use of ratchet straps. The guy lines are connected by steel hooks to embedded
steel loops in the ends of the Jersey barriers to provide resistance to lateral loads and uplift via
friction and gravity only. There is no positive connection between the Jersey barriers and the
ground surface.

4.2.1.1 Superstructure Components


Main trusses are located at the bottom chord of the gable roof lattice superstructure.
These trusses are composed of multiple 2-6 wide by 2-2 deep and 8-0 long trusses

pinned together with node components to span from both the west to east and north to
south. These trusses are referred to in the James Thomas Engineering 2006 catalog as
Super Pre-rigged trusses and are fabricated from 2 diameter tube chords and 1
diameter tube web members. These members are indicated in green in Figures 10 and
11 below.
Rafter trusses (rafters) are the sloped top chord of the superstructure that forms the
gable roof. These east-west spanning trusses are compression elements of the gable
roof lattice superstructure and support the roof tarp. The rafters are 1-0 wide by 1-0
deep truss elements of varying lengths and are fabricated from 2 diameter tube chords
and 1 diameter tube web members. Each of the tubular chords is connected at both
ends and interconnects to form one sloped face of the 35-0 gable roof span. Note the
rafter trusses do not have direct connections to the roof tarp. Rafter truss members are
indicated in orange in Figures 10 and 11 below.
Gable web trusses are located between the rafters and the main trusses. These
vertical members are 1-0 wide by 1-0 deep truss elements of varying lengths and are
fabricated from 2 diameter tube chords and 1 diameter tube web members that
connect the bottom chord of the main trusses of the gable roof truss to the rafters at
column lines C, D and E. Wire rope members also serve to provide tension capacity in
this plane. These members are indicated in light purple in Figures 10 and 11 below.
Ridge trusses span north-south and interconnect the rafters at each bay. These
members are indicated in blue and span between the rafters along column line D in the
Figures below. The blue tarp membrane is directly connected to the ridge via straps.
Purlin trusses bear on the top chords of the main trusses and support the majority of
the loads imposed by the suspended entertainment technology equipment such as the
lighting, rigged trusses, LED screen and the LED scrim curtain. The purlins vary in size
between 15 wide by 15 deep and 20.5 wide by 20.5 deep, comprising two 10-0 long
sections and fabricated from 2 diameter tube chords and 1 diameter tube web
members. The purlin trusses are secured to the main trusses with knotted web slings
and shackles. These slings are referred to as purlin tie slings in this report. The purlin
members in the ISF Structure are indicated in red in Figures 10 and 11 below.
Strut trusses are located at the extreme western and eastern wings of the ISF
Structure and are diagonal in plan orientation. The struts are composed of two 20.5
wide by 20.5 deep sections with a length of 8-0 and 10-0. The truss sections are
connected to the main trusses through other articulating components. These trusses
are used to stabilize the Public Address (PA) wings from which the speaker arrays are
suspended. These members are indicated in light green in Figures 10 and 11 below.
Chain hoists are 1-ton-rated chain hoists manufactured by Columbus McKinnon. The
hoists are connected to the exterior nodes and use a chain to transfer vertical loads
from the main trusses to the columns (see Figure 12). The chain hoists allow raising
and lowering of the superstructure along the columns. Note that once the
superstructure is raised to its proper height, the roof truss load, including the weight of

Nodes / Sleeve blocks as referenced in the James Thomas Engineering 2006 catalog
are divided into five types of nodes: interior main truss to main truss node, exterior
main truss to main truss node, column to exterior main truss node, column to interior
main truss clamped node and strut to column and main truss node. For detailed
photographs of the specific nodes, please refer to Appendix F.20.

The main truss to main truss nodes are composed of a thick aluminum plate
at the bottom face used to connect the bottom chords of four (4) intersecting main
trusses and the vertical gable web trusses. The top face of the nodes is framed by a
thick aluminum plate with a large opening to permit the gable web truss
members to pass through and to be connected to the bottom face plate of the node
described above. The top plate of the node connects the top chord of four (4)
intersecting main trusses. The remaining faces of the node are framed by the end
elements that are part of the main trusses. These nodes are indicated in orange in
Figure 13.

At the exterior main truss to main truss nodes the thick aluminum plates
connect the three main truss elements and place a gate at the exterior face. The
exterior gate is composed of 1 diameter tubes arranged in a cross-brace fashion
with 1 diameter tubes in a vertical orientation, and 2 diameter tubes in the
horizontal plane that frame the cross-brace and connect to the adjacent main
trusses with pins. These nodes are indicated in blue in Figure 13.

The column to exterior main truss nodes are composed of thick plates with
an interior opening at the top and bottom. The opening at the top and bottom plates
of the node permits the column to pass through the node, allowing the
superstructure to climb. These nodes have a total of four (4) roller bearings
(casters) at both the top and bottom plates of the node, resisting in-plane and outof-plane horizontal displacements of the column within the node but permitting
vertical movement. Per the James Thomas Engineering 2006 catalog 12 and 15
Ground Supported Support Towers Operating Instructions The stability of the
tower is derived from the sleeving action of the sleeve block. Note these nodes at
the exterior also have chain hoists attached to either 1 thick fin plates or rigging
slings attached to the bottom plate of the nodes. The fin plates connect two critical
components of the ISF Structure: the chain hoists and the guy line system. The
chain hoists connect to the fin plate, extend over the top of the roller beam at the
top of the column and connect to the main trusses adjacent to the node. The fin
plate connection to the guy line system transfers the lateral loads imposed on the
ISF Structure to the lateral force resisting guy line system. These nodes are
indicated in red in Figure 13.

The column to interior main truss clamped nodes are composed of rectangular
tube sections clamped to the bottom chord of the main trusses on column lines C, D
and E between column lines 3 and 4. These nodes are connected to the top of the
three interior black supplemental columns (see Column truss towers section below).
These nodes are indicated in green in Figure 13.

The strut to column and main truss nodes are located at the easternmost and
westernmost ends of the PA wings of the ISF Structure. These nodes connect the
main trusses to the strut and the columns. Each node consists of rectangular tube
sections on both the top and bottom faces. The top and bottom faces also have
wheels that restrict the columns, horizontal in-plane and out-of-plane displacement
but permit vertical movement up and down the columns, similar to the column to
exterior main truss nodes. The face connected to the strut consists of a thick
prefabricated aluminum plate that connects the strut to the node in an end plate
connection manner. The other faces of the nodes consist of 2 diameter tubes
welded together to make a cube. Note that while small corner gussets are utilized,
cross-bracing is not present at any of the faces of these nodes. These nodes are
indicated in cyan in Figure 13.

Tarp/Membrane. The blue-colored roof tarp is composed of three separate panels.


The east and west panels are directly connected to the ISF Structure via ratchet straps
at the eaves (main trusses) and ridge truss. Knotted rope is used to secure the tarp
along the gable ends. The middle ridge panel is attached to the east and west panels
via four 2 wide Velcro strips along each side of the ridge, distributed from north to
south. The tarp membrane is indicated in blue in Figures 10 and 11.

4.2.1.2 Column truss towers (Columns)


Column truss towers are composed of various modular sections ranging from 3-6 to
10-0 in length. At the top of the column are aluminum cross-head roller beams
fabricated from channel sections. The lower pair is used as a guide for the chain
associated with the chain hoists used to lift the roof system. The upper pair is
perpendicular to the lower pair and is used as a guide for the ratchet strap that acts as
a safety lock-off to secure the roof superstructure system at its designated trim height.
There are three column types used within the ISF Structure. The total height of the
columns bearing on the stage is 46-0. These columns are indicated in gray in Figure
10 and Figure 11. The total height of the columns that are off the stage surface and
bearing on the ground/track is 50-0. These columns are indicated in cyan in Figure 10
and Figure 11. The columns indicated in black in Figure 10 and Figure 11 are
approximately 40-0 in height and are bearing on the stage. The 40- 0 black columns
are clamped to the bottom side of the main trusses on column lines C, D and E
between column lines 3 and 4. This node connection to the bottom chord of the main
trusses restricts the extent of downward movement of the superstructure to the height
of the 40- 0 black columns. Therefore, in order for the superstructure to be lowered,
these columns must be removed.
Each of the column modules is spliced utilizing connections in an end plate connection
configuration and is fastened with four (4) diameter steel bolts, two (2) on the south
face and two (2) on the north face of the column.

4.2.1.3 Suspended light fixture trusses and miscellaneous equipment:


The suspended light fixture trusses (rigged trusses) are supported from the purlins and
the main trusses. These light fixtures trusses comprise the majority of the overhead
dead load from the suspended entertainment technology equipment utilized at the ISF
Structure. The rigged trusses are suspended from the main trusses and/or the purlins
via a system of rigging slings and chain hoists that permits raising or lowering of the
rigged trusses. There are a total of five (5) manufacturers of the rigged trusses: Total
Structures, TomCat, Applied Structures, James Thomas Engineering and Tyler
Trusses. The different rigged trusses are assigned an identifying color by the production
crew through the use of colored tape that can be observed on the individual trusses.
The different trusses are referred to as red, orange, white, blue and purple. Refer to
Figure 14 below for a graphical representation of these trusses. Identification of the
specific manufacturers for each rigged truss is provided in Appendix F.20.

Figure 14. Truss color nomenclature for suspended entertainment technology equipment

The LED screen, the LED scrim curtain and other components of the suspended
entertainment technology equipment are suspended from the rigged trusses with hoists
of ton, 1 ton or 2 ton capacities. Based on on-site weighing, the combined weight of
the suspended entertainment technology equipment including the rigged trusses and
hoists/rigging slings connecting it to the superstructure is approximately 44,300 lbs.
4.2.1.4 Lateral force resisting system
In addition to some rigidity provided by the column/sleeve block connections, the
primary lateral force resisting system employed at the ISF Structure is a guy line
system. This system consists of guy lines connected to Jersey barriers that provide
lateral resistance through self-weight and friction. The Jersey barriers (also referred to
as k-rails in many western states) are reinforced concrete modular barriers originally

designed for dividing traffic lanes. The Jersey barriers utilized in the ISF Structure are
located on varying surface conditions consisting of gravel, grass, sand and asphalt
surfaces.
The guy line system at the ISF Structure comprises several different components,
including 3/8 diameter wire rope, steel rigging shackles and synthetic webbing ratchet
straps. The ratchet straps are used to induce a pre-stress (tension) in the guying
system. A total of fourteen (14) guy lines connect to ten (10) Jersey barriers within the
system. A total of six (6) guy lines connected to four (4) Jersey barriers contribute to
lateral load resistance in the west to east or east to west direction. A total of six (6) guy
lines connected to four (4) Jersey barriers contribute to lateral load resistance in the
north to south direction and a total of four (4) guy lines connected to two (2) Jersey
barriers contributed to lateral load resistance in the south to north direction (see Figures
15, 16 and 17).

Figure 15. Plan view of lateral force resisting system

The guy line system is connected to the structure at the 1 thick aluminum fin plates of
the column to exterior main truss nodes. The fin plate on the node is also connected to
a chain hoist that is utilized to raise and lower the superstructure. The fin plate and its
connection to the superstructure and to the guy line system is eccentric in geometry,
meaning the loads must pass through multiple components in different planes and
orientations in order to create a continuous load path. These fin plate members are
considered critical components of the lateral force resisting system. The fin plates are
located at nodes B2, B3, B4 and F2, F3, F4. Note that nodes B4 and F4 have multiple
guy lines connected to them: two (2) on the east face of F4 and two on the west face of
B4, respectively, and one (1) on the north face of both nodes.

4.2.2 Assembly and Erection


As noted above, the ISF Structure is a self-climbing, demountable aluminum structure
manufactured to facilitate assembly/disassembly at multiple sites.
The ISF Structure was assembled and erected at the start of the Indiana State Fair and
utilized for several different events through the first two weeks of August 2011. When stage
lighting and related equipment are required, the traveling production brings show-specific
components to be suspended from the ISF Structure. However, the two speaker arrays
suspended at the easternmost and westernmost bays of the structure (PA wings) are leased
with the structure and remain in place for the duration of the Fair.
The sections below describe the general assembly and erection sequence for the primary
components of the main roof structure and related components described in Section 4.2.1
above. This summary is based on TTs understanding, derived from reviews of information in
the JTE 2006 catalog and personnel interviews.
Erection begins by determining the proper placement of the structure and supporting
columns. The lowest hinged sections of the columns are connected to the cruciform bases
and placed at the locations on which the columns will be erected. In the case of the ISF
Structure, these first sections of the columns are 2-6 in height. These smaller sections have
hinges on top to permit horizontal assembly of the remainder of the columns (see Figure 18).

Figure 18. Typical hinged column section


(Source: JTE 2006 Catalog)

Once the column bases are positioned, assembly of the superstructure commences. Per the
unsigned September 21, 2011 Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration
interview Statement of Robert Williams of Mid America Sound, the assembly of the
superstructure begins with the front of the grid (main trusses). The nodes are assembled
around each column to permit the structure to climb up the columns (see Figures 19 and 20).

Once the main trusses are in place, the rafters are assembled. This includes assembly of the
gable web members and wire rope elements between the main trusses and the rafters. The
remainder of the column sections are assembled horizontally and in the case of the ISF
Structure, lifted into their vertical position by a crane (see Figure 21).

The chain hoists are then connected to the main trusses with their chains looped over the top
of the column channel cross-heads and connected back to the main trusses (see Figure 12).
The chain hoists then begin to simultaneously lift the superstructure. At this point the
superstructure is fully suspended from the columns by the chains.

Once the superstructure is at the desired trim height, ratchet straps are looped over the tops
of the columns and connected to the main trusses. The straps are placed in the second set of
cross-head channels perpendicular to the direction of the chains suspending the
superstructure (see Figure 12). Once the structure is loaded with the primary framing, the
straps are tightened until the load is transferred from the chain hoists to the ratchet straps.
The guy line system is tightened once the roof system is at its proper trim height, and the
black columns with a height of 40-0 located at column lines C, D and E are then installed
below the main roof trusses.
On the day of the specific concert or other entertainment event, the suspended entertainment
technology equipment and trusses are positioned on the stage surface and connected to the
purlins bearing on the main trusses above. With the use of additional chain hoists, these
components are then elevated to their proper trim height.

4.2.3 Load Path and Stability


The load on the superstructure is a combination of the self-weight of the structure and the
total weight of suspended entertainment technology equipment on the rigged trusses. These
loads are supported by the purlins and main trusses of the superstructure and delivered to
the straps that suspend the superstructure from the top of the columns. Due to the large load
of the LED screen near the center of the ISF Structure, the three black columns with a height
of 40-0were installed to reduce the span of the main trusses near the LED screen for this
configuration. Therefore, these columns supported the majority of the load attributed to the
LED screen.
Plan distribution of gravity loads acting on columns can vary based on the uniformity with
which the chain hoists lift and suspend the roof structure. Furthermore, plan distribution of
gravity loads from suspended entertainment technology equipment can vary based on the
uniformity with which hoists act at multiple lift points along the rigged trusses.
The largest lateral loads imposed on the structure are attributed to wind. The projected
surfaces exposed to wind are subjected to lateral loads imposed by wind pressure. Larger
surfaces such as the roof tarp, the LED scrim curtain and the LED screen comprise the
majority of the surfaces exposed to wind and therefore are subjected to the majority of the
lateral drag forces imposed on the structure. Note that wind also imposes uplift forces on the
ISF Structure. For the larger surfaces such as the roof tarp, the wind pressure is applied
perpendicular to the rafters on the windward side; however, since on the leeward side the
roof tarp is not directly connected to the rafters, the wind load is transferred to the eave and
the ridge where the tarp is attached. These drag and uplift forces on the structure are added
to the drag and uplift forces imposed on the other wind-exposed surfaces.
The drag forces imposed by wind are transferred to the guy line system utilized to resist
lateral loads. The guy lines are connected to the superstructure either by fin plates or straps
tying the end of the wire ropes directly to the main trusses. The guy lines in turn transfer the
load to the Jersey barriers. The Jersey barriers resist drag forces through friction with the
ground surface. Due to the angle of the guy lines, the Jersey barriers also resist uplift forces
in conjunction with horizontal lateral drag forces. The vertical upward forces on the Jersey
barriers are resisted by their weight. The only lateral resistance provided by the Jersey
barriers is due to friction, which is dependent on the normal load between the barrier and the
ground, so that any imposed uplift force decreases the amount of frictional resistance,
thereby reducing the total resistance of the lateral system.
It is important to note that due to the height of the structure, the slenderness of the columns
and the space between the columns and node wheels, the structure has limited lateral force
resisting capacity without the guy line system installed.

CODES AND STANDARDS


Several reference standards and codes are readily available that can provide guidance and
recommendations for the design and stabilization of aluminum demountable gable lattice structures
used to support suspended entertainment technology equipment. The requirement to follow or
adhere to these or other standards is set by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Note: unless
listed in Section 5.2 below, the standards listed here are not specifically adopted by the AHJ.
However, in the absence of an enforceable code or standard, the following references provide
useful guidelines and industry standards for the design and stabilization of structures. Additional
standards and codes may apply for specific materials or may be referenced by the following
standards and codes. The discussions below focus primarily on the wind-related provisions of the
subject codes and standards.

5.1

Relevant Codes and Standards

5.1.1 International Building Code


The International Building Code (IBC) is a model building code published by the International
Code Council (ICC) that has been adopted by several federal agencies and in the 50 states
at either the state or local/municipality level. This code provides minimum requirements for
the design of building systems and administrative methodologies for the adopting authority.
Also included are building Use and Occupancy classifications. The IBC was first issued in
2000, with subsequent revisions issued in 2003, 2006, 2009 and 2012.
5.1.1.1

Use and Occupancy Classification


There are two Use and Occupancy classifications that could be applied to the ISF
Structure, although neither classification adequately reflects the uniqueness of such a
structure. Assembly Group A-5 applies to amusement park structures, bleachers,
grandstands and stadia; although strictly speaking the ISF Structure itself is not
intended for high occupancy, the adjacent area and buildings are intended for high
occupancy.
Buildings and structures classified as Utility and Miscellaneous Group U are of an
accessory character or miscellaneous structures not classified in any specific
occupancy. According to the IBC, these structures are to be constructed, equipped,
and maintained to conform to the requirements of this code commensurate with the fire
and life hazard incidental to their occupancy. Although this use group is generally
intended for low-occupancy, low-risk buildings and structures such as barns, sheds,
carports, etc., the same methodology can be applied in reverse fashion to determine an
Occupancy classification.
No specific guidance is contained within the IBC as to how to assign an Occupancy
classification to an open area adjacent to a building or structure. Nor is there specific
guidance as to how to assign an Occupancy to a building or structure based on an
adjacent open area where a crowd can gather.

5.1.1.2 Structural Loading


The assessment of loading applied to a structure or building is influenced its Occupancy
Category and the assignation of Importance Factors. A building with higher occupancy,
that serves critical functions or the failure of which may cause harm or significant
economic loss to the surrounding public is assigned higher Importance Factors, which
are then reflected in the structural design with more stringent load requirements.
Importance Factors for various environmental loads (wind, snow, seismic) are assigned
based on Occupancy Category. The IBC assigns to each building or structure to an
Occupancy Category of I, II, III or IV. Category I structures represent a low risk to
human life in the event of failure. Category III structures represent a substantial risk to
human life in the event of failure. Category IV structures are essential facilities critical
to public safety. Category II structures are all those buildings not meeting the
requirements of Categories I, III, or IV.
It should be noted that Category III buildings also include jails, detention centers, and
buildings containing toxic or explosive materials, which do not meet the more stringent
requirements of Category IV. Failure of these facilities may result in substantial hazard
not only to the occupants, but also to the public at large. Had an equivalent
entertainment structure, with a primary purpose of public assembly of 300 or more
occupants been constructed, it would be assigned to Occupancy Category III. In terms
of the ramifications resulting from structural loading, the intent of the code is clear.
The IBC does not specifically designate Importance Factors; however, it refers to
ASCE/SEI 7: Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7) for
these values (see Section 5.1.2). The IBC similarly references Chapter 6 of ASCE 7 to
identify methodologies for calculating wind loads on buildings and other structures.
5.1.1.3

Temporary Structures
Sections 107 and 3103 of the IBC allow a building official to issue permits for temporary
structures which have a limited service period of less than 180 days. Temporary
structures are also to conform to the structural strength, fire safety, , requirements
of this code to ensure public health, safety and general welfare.

5.1.1.4

Permitting/Inspection/Enforcement
The IBC requires the owner to obtain a permit in order to construct, enlarge, alter,
repair, move, demolish, or change the occupancy of a building or structure. Inspections
must be performed for work requiring a permit and it is the responsibility of the owner to
notify the building official when sufficient work has been done to warrant an inspection.
Approval for occupancy is issued by the building official when inspections are
completed and compliance with the building code is achieved. The building official may
issue violation notices for work performed without a permit, or outside the scope of the
issued permit.

5.1.2 ASCE/SEI 7-05 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures
ASCE/SEI 7 is referenced by the IBC and published by the American Society of Civil
Engineers and the Structural Engineering Institute. It contains minimum loadings for live,
dead, wind, seismic and other environmental loads and defines Importance Factors. Further,
it provides methodologies for load application in the analysis of building structures.
The ASCE 7 Importance Factors for wind in non-hurricane prone regions with basic wind
speed of less than 100 mph are as follows:
Occupancy
Category
I
II
III
IV

Importance
Factor
0.87
1.0
1.15
1.15

The magnitude of necessary wind load resistance determined for a building or structure is
based on several factors. The most basic include: the basic wind speed, the site exposure,
the height of the building or structure above ground, and whether the building is classified as
open, enclosed or partially enclosed. Refer to Section 6 in this report for application of these
provisions.
5.1.3 SEI/ASCE 37-02 Design Loads on Structures during Construction
This standard is published by the Structural Engineering Institute and the American Society of
Civil Engineers. This standard is generally used to evaluate temporary conditions for
buildings under construction and temporary structures. A reduction in provisions for basic
wind speed resistance is permitted through this standard based on the length of time the
structures will remain in place.
Construction Period
Less than 6 weeks
6 weeks to 1 year
1 to 2 years
2 to 5 years

Factor

5.1.4 ANSI E1.2 2006


The ANSI E1.2 (Entertainment Technology Design, Manufacture and Use of Aluminum
Trusses and Towers) standard is published by the Entertainment Services and Technology
Association (ESTA). This document was authored by the Rigging Working Group under the
ESTA Technical Standards Program which is accredited by the American National Standards

respect to the design, engineering, manufacturing, installation and inspection of
entertainment structures. Specific references to ASCE 37 are provided for the reduction of
provisions for basic wind speed resistance as well as suggested safety measures for use
when ballasted systems are used to provide structural stability.
The commentary portion of this document includes additional recommendations for
monitoring the installation with respect to weather conditions, allowable bearing pressures on
various ground types, and recommended coefficients of friction between various materials for
use in ballast requirement calculations.
5.1.6 BSR E1.21-201X
The BSR E1.21 (Entertainment Technology Temporary Ground Supported Overhead
Structures Used to Cover the Stage Areas and Support Equipment in the Production of
Outdoor Entertainment Events) standard is a draft revision to the 2006 ANSI document
currently in development by the Professional Lighting and Sound Association (PLASA) and
ESTA, as these two organizations have merged. The public review period for this document
has ended and at the date of this reports issue, the document is no longer available for

5.1.7 IStructE Temporary Demountable Structures 3rd Edition
rd

Temporary Demountable Structures Guidance on Procurement, Design and Use 3 Edition


is published by the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) in the United Kingdom and
provides guidance for a variety of temporary structures, including grandstands, bleachers,
tents and marquees, in addition to stage structures. Although not a U.S. standard, the
document is comprehensive in nature and addresses many structural and non-structural
requirements for the safe use of entertainment structures. Of note is the fact that the content
was developed by members of IStructE, an engineering professional association with
assistance from trade industry and government. This is in contrast to the U.S. ANSI
standards, which were developed by entertainment trade associations. Roles and
responsibilities of the client/user, the contractor/supplier and the local authority are clearly
defined in this document. Additionally, it should be noted the provisions for reduction of basic
wind speed is not permitted, as it is in ASCE 37. Rather, an operational wind speed may be
determined for the structure and related provisions must be implemented in conjunction with
a management plan, for which recommendations are also provided.

Governing Codes and Standards

5.2.1 Indiana Building Code


The Indiana Building Code, 2008 Edition, referencing the International Building Code, 2006
st
Edition, 1 Printing, was adopted by the Fire Prevention and Building Safety Commission
under the Indiana Department of Homeland Security, effective June 16, 2008. Also adopted
by reference was ASCE/SEI 7-2005, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other
Structures. The Indiana Building Code contains amendments to the IBC based on the
Indiana Administrative Code (IAC).
5.2.1.1 IAC Amendments
5.2.1.1.1 Use and Occupancy Classifications
Amendments under the Indiana Administrative Code (IAC) include the deletion
of Chapter 1 of the IBC. A portion of the substituted Section 101.2 states that
the intended purpose of the code is to establish minimum requirements for the
construction, addition, alteration or assembly of any part of a Class 1 structure
at the site where the structure will be used. A Class 1 structure is defined in
675 IAC 12-6-2 as a building or structure that is intended to be or is occupied
or otherwise used in any of the following: the public, three (3) or more tenants,
or one (1) or more persons who act as the employees of another. A structure
is defined in the Indiana Building Code as that which is built or constructed.
5.2.1.1.2 Structural Loading
Amendments to Chapter 16 Structural Design of the IBC include the deletion
of Section 1609.1.1 Determination of wind loads. This section in the IBC
indicates that wind loads on every building or structure shall be determined in
accordance with Chapter 6 of the ASCE 7. The substituted text in the Indiana
Building Code indicates that Wind loads on every building or structure shall be
determined in accordance with Table 1608.2, which is provided in the IAC.
This modification to the IBC is apparently an inadvertent error. Only basic wind
speeds are provided in Table 1608.2. Wind speed is only one aspect of
determining wind load. No information regarding wind loading is provided.
Neither the IBC nor the Indiana Building Code provides methodologies for
calculating wind loads which cannot be calculated based solely on wind speed.
The deleted section of the IBC (Section 1609.1.1) references ASCE 7 for this
purpose. Similar sections of the Indiana Building Code for determination of
snow and seismic loads do not repeat this error.

IBC-2006, Section 1609.1.1: Incorporating Wind Provisions of ASCE-7

5.2.1.1.3 Temporary Structures


Amendments under the Indiana Administrative Code (IAC) include the deletion
of Chapter 1 of the IBC, which also includes provisions for temporary
structures. However, a temporary structure is defined in 675 IAC 12-6-2 as
either a Class 1 structure that is erected or installed for a period of not more
than ninety (90) days after which it will be demolished or relocated, portable
structures on construction job sites for use by persons involved in the
construction process, or mobile structures as set forth at IC 22-12-1-17. In 675
IAC 12-6-4, temporary structures are exempted from the design release
requirement of 675 IAC 12-6-3 for Class 1 structures. See Section 5.2.1.1.4
below for an explanation of the design release requirement.
5.2.1.1.4 Permitting/Inspections/Enforcement
The IAC deletion of Chapter 1 of the IBC also deletes provisions for permitting,
inspections and enforcement. The IAC instead facilitates this process through
a design release program. Design releases are required for most Class 1
structures, although there are a multitude of exclusions identified in 675 IAC 126-4; one such exclusion is for temporary structures. Similarly, the plans and
specifications for Class 1 structures are required to be prepared by a design
professional (registered architect or engineer), unless excluded in 675 IAC 126-9. Had the ISF Structure not been excluded from the design release
requirement as a temporary structure, it would have required an architect or
engineer to prepare, or supervise preparation of, plans and specifications.

ANALYSIS
Utilizing the post-collapse data and information obtained on-site, Thornton Tomasetti engaged in an
analysis to determine the following:
1. What were the wind forces imposed on the ISF Structure the day of August 13, 2011, and
how do they compare to code/design provisions for resistance to wind forces?
2. Given the as-built configuration, how would the ISF Structure be expected to perform under
the imposed wind forces?
3. How would a reasonable engineer design a temporary stage structure with provisions for
the required resistance to forces that meet code-stipulated factors of safety?
To answer these questions, TT performed a detailed study of the code-required provisions for wind
loads and retained RWDI, a wind consultant located in Ontario, Canada, to perform a detailed
meteorological study and wind tunnel tests to determine the wind speeds on the site on August 13
(day-of winds) and the loads imposed on the structure. The design and day-of winds were used to
load two separate studies of the structure. TTs first study utilized structural analysis software to
build a detailed finite element model of the as-built conditions based on field measurements and
data. This analysis determined the performance of the structure under the day-of wind loads and at
what wind load level the failures of the system began. A second study looked at how a reasonable
engineer presented with the job of designing a temporary stage structure would account for the
code-required wind loads and factors of safety. The end product is then compared to what was built
on-site.

6.1

Wind Analysis
RWDI performed a study of the meteorological conditions and determined the 3-second gust wind
speed recorded near the site at or about the time of the collapse was approximately 52 mph.
RWDI then used the Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program (WAsP) to calculate the wind
speed at the specific ISF Structure site and found that it ranged between 57 and 59 mph. Video
footage of the collapse shows the wind direction at the site to be predominantly from the west,
which is within the range anticipated from RWDIs analysis (see RWDI report in Appendix D.1).
RWDI also performed a wind tunnel test on a rigid scale model of the ISF Structure with and
without the stage equipment to ascertain the total wind force on the structure imposed by a 52
mph wind speed and under wind directions ranging from 260 degrees to 360 degrees, where 360
degrees is a wind from due north and 270 degrees is a wind from the west. The drag forces on
the structure without the stage equipment under westerly winds were 8,100 lbs in the east
direction and 400 lbs in the south direction (see RWDI report in Appendix D.1). These results
differ by less than 3% from the forces calculated by Thornton Tomasetti using ASCE 7-05 for a
rigid structure (see TT wind calculations in Appendix D.6). RWDI determined the suspended
entertainment technology equipment added 5,300 lbs of force in the east direction and 100 lbs in
the south direction, for a total resultant force of 13,400 lbs on the structure and suspended
entertainment technology equipment. Based on TTs calculations for forensic wind load cases,
the wind uplift on the ISF Structure will be less than the total dead load of the structure when it is
fully loaded with suspended entertainment technology equipment.
TT calculated the unloaded structure (superstructure and speaker arrays only) has a period of
1.04 seconds west to east and 0.99 seconds north to south; however, when fully loaded on the
day of the collapse, the period increased to 1.5 seconds, so the structure would be classified as a
flexible structure according to ASCE 7-05. ASCE 7-05 stipulates an increase in the gust effect
factor for flexible structures, which results in an overall increase in the wind loads. Therefore
RWDIs tested values in fact reflect a lower bound, and the actual wind loads may be better
approximated by amplifying the test values by the ratio of the gust effect factor for the flexible
condition to the gust effect factor for the rigid condition. This results in a total wind load of 14,400
lbs for the structure with the stage equipment under 52 mph westerly winds. This load increases
to 19,300 lbs for the upper bound wind speed of 59 mph as calculated by RWDI using WAsP.
The design wind speed in Indiana is 90 mph according to the IAC. Although not code-referenced
documents, industry standard ASCE 37-02 permits a 75% reduction in provisions for wind speed
for temporary structures resulting in a design wind speed of 68 mph. Further, ANSI E.1.2.1-2006
permits a reduced wind speed of 40 mph for structures capable of being disassembled quickly in
a high wind event.
TT calculated the design wind loads on the structure without the suspended entertainment
technology equipment for the three wind speeds discussed above in the four cardinal directions
and one intercardinal direction. TT added scaled scrim wall loads from RWDIs wind tunnel test
results and applied the wind Directionality Factor and Importance Factor to the total wind forces
as would be appropriate for the design loading of such a structure. The total design forces for the
westerly wind direction (with the structural equipment configuration at the time of the collapse) are
52,100 lbs, 28,000 lbs, and 9,100 lbs for 90 mph, 68 mph, and 40 mph design wind speeds

respectively. The largest design wind forces from all the directions considered are 83,800 lbs,
44,600 lbs, and 27,700 lbs respectively (see Appendix D.6). As previously stated, the ISF
Structure would have experienced a total resultant lateral force of 14400 lbs to 19,300 lbs for the
52 to 59 mph wind speeds that occurred at the site at or about the time of the collapse.
It was reported to TT that high winds damaged the roof tarp, causing the center closure strip to be
disengaged from the adjoining two tarp segments (the west and east panels). Climatic data
research found reported wind speeds ranging between 40 mph and 60 mph on both August 8,
2011 and August 9, 2011. It should be noted that on these dates no LED scrim curtain or LED
screen was installed and the total mass of the structure was significantly less.

Guy Line Tensioning Forces


As described in Section 4.2.2, once the stage tower columns and roof trusses are in place and
secure, guy lines extending from the roof level trusses to ground level concrete Jersey barriers
are tensioned using a ratchet device on the Jersey barrier end of the guy line. This is a
necessary step for a guyed structure.
The stiffness of the wire rope used in a guying system is dependent on the amount of sag or
drape in it: an increase in sag correlates to a decrease in guy axial stiffness and in the tension
force on the wire rope. The guy lines need to have excess slack removed if they are to act as
axial tension members sufficiently stiff to attract the lateral loads imposed on the structure and
then transfer the force down to the anchor points on ballast located at the ground.
The initial tensioning of the guy lines impose a load on the Jersey barriers as well, which the
Jersey barriers must resist in addition to any lateral forces due to wind. Force required to achieve
a desired sag in a guy line can impose a significant load on the ballast to which the guy line is
connected. The longer the guy line, the larger the force needed to meet a specific sag
dimension. Any variable that affects the ability of the Jersey barrier ballast to resist lateral loads
will also affect the overall capacity of the ISF Structure under wind forces. To gauge the
sensitivity of the structure to variations in guy line tension forces, several values were used when
determining the maximum wind forces the ISF Structure can support.
Within the calculations and design documents for the ISF Structure obtained by TT, there was no
indication as to the initial force for guy line tension or the permissible sag in the wire rope. A test
of the ratchet assembly on-site showed the average force it could reasonably develop by hand
tensioning was approximately 950 lbs, which provided an upper bound for the guy line initial
tension force.
AISC Design Guide 10: Erection Bracing of Low-Rise Structural Steel Buildings provides
guidance for the tensioning of guy lines used to brace low-rise structures and gives an equation
calculating the tension force necessary to obtain a specified sag in a cable based on weight and
geometry (it neglects elongation of the wire rope as the tensioning device would take up this
stretch). For a 3/8 inch wire rope, the maximum permissible sag is defined as 1 inch. Figure 26
shows the tension force required to achieve this amount of sag or drape in four of the main guy
lines in the ISF Structure is quite large. The forces increase sharply as drapes become smaller
than 3 inches, but for greater sags the guy line tension force required levels out, and there are

only small differences from 8 to 12 inches of drape. Based on the 950 lbs hand tightening limit on
the ratchet assembly, a rigging crew would not have been able to achieve drapes much less than
3 inches.

Figure 26. Guy line tension in lbs required to achieve drape in guy lines attached to JB.W1,
JB.W2, JB.NW1 and JB.NE1

For the Finite Element Analysis, the initial guy line tension force was estimated based on the
capacity of the ratchet assembly used on-site. Considering the guy lines may not have been
tightened to the 950 lbs limit, 80% of the maximum (760 lbs) was used.
6.3

SAP Finite Element Model


To understand the as-built performance of the ISF Structure based on the data gathered from the
site TT created a Finite Element Model (FEM) using the structural analysis software SAP 2000.
Two separate analyses within SAP were performed. In each of the SAP analyses, two different
load conditions are considered. The first SAP analysis (A) is an incremental failure analysis to
determine the collapse mechanism and sequence. The second SAP analysis (B) applies the full
wind load case to the structure with all elements functioning, to determine if the structure would
have maintained stability if the guy line tie-backs and the Jersey barrier ballast had been
sufficient. Two load conditions are evaluated for each SAP analysis because the LED scrim
curtain and LED screen represent a large sail area that greatly increases the imposed wind loads.
Therefore TT load cases determined the performance of the structure both with and without the
LED screen and LED scrim curtain to establish their effect on ISF Structure performance.
Member forces from the model runs were then used to check member and connection
demand/capacity ratios and determine where failures occurred and under what load conditions.

6.3.1 Second Order Analysis


A second order analysis (also known as a P-Delta analysis) is a geometric nonlinear analysis
which accounts for the effect of the displacement of the structural components on their
stiffness and applied forces. A simple example of this is a vertical column subject to a
vertical axial load and a horizontal lateral load. As the column displaces under the horizontal
load, the vertical load is no longer perfectly centered and begins to induce bending in the
column, as illustrated in Figure 27. In the case of a guyed system, the deflection of the
system will also change the tension, resulting sag and corresponding axial stiffness of the
guy lines. SAP gives the option to account for P-Delta effects within its analysis and to
account for the change in stiffness of the cable elements as the elements move. Each of the
analyses described in this section account for second order effects.

6.3.1.1 Assumptions
Superstructure Components: The ISF Structure tower truss columns, main trusses,
rafter trusses, gable roof trusses, ridge trusses and purlins are modeled using frame
elements (Figure 28). Each vertical, horizontal, and diagonal member is included in the
model with dimensions based on field measurements. Linear elastic material behavior
is assumed with frame elements using aluminum properties. The guy line elements are
modeled as steel.

Welded Connections: Welded connections within truss sections are treated as fixed,
allowing moment, shear and axial forces to be transmitted between members. A typical
truss section as modeled is shown in Figure 29.

Figure 29. Main truss component as modeled in SAP

Column Bases: The tower truss columns are seated on the stage on crossed channel
sections. These channels provide a flexible base that allows rotation of the base of the
column lower end with little resistance, and are modeled accordingly within SAP.
Truss Splices: Based on TTs field documentation, the connections between truss
sections varied. For example, as illustrated in Figure 30, the truss sections forming the
roof level trusses are pinned in one direction, therefore the moments in that direction
are released in the model. All of the frame elements are linear-elastic elements.

model.

Rigging Trusses: The suspended components below the superstructure are not
included in the model as elements. Instead the loads from these components are
applied to their support points on the main trusses and purlins. Additional information is
provided below under Loads.
Nodes: As described in Section 4.2.1, the columns at column lines A, B, F and G pass
through and extend above the main roof level, where wheels (casters) brace the column
at each corner at the top and bottom of the node. This creates a moment connection
between the main trusses and the columns. The wheel/plate assemblies allow
movement of the truss up and down, but transfer any lateral forces from the column to
the trusses and vice versa. The wheels are modeled as short stiff elements that
connect the corners of the nodes to the corners of the column but have end releases
that permit motion up and down along the column. Figure 31 depicts a detailed view of
the column/truss node as modeled in SAP.

Wire Rope Components: Cable elements are utilized to model the guy lines, the wire
ropes within the gable roof structure, and the chains supporting the roof trusses.
Although the final support of the superstructure is provided by the ratchet straps at the
heads of the columns, this has no effect on the stability of the model. Cables are
nonlinear elements which can only be loaded in tension. Each cable has an initial
tension force which corresponds to a sag along that cable. As the structure deflects,
the geometry of the cable changes, which in turn changes the tension force and also
the axial stiffness of that cable. Within SAP the cable elements adjust for the changes
in stiffness. Because the guy lines are primarily configured with wire rope, a modified
modulus of elasticity (E) and area are used in the model. Those values and the
breaking strength are based on ASTM Standard A603: Standard Specification for Zinc
Coated Steel Structural Wire Rope. For the guy lines and the wire rope in the gable roof
an E equal to 20,000 ksi is used. (Note: the abbreviation ksi stands for kips per square
inch. One kip equals 1,000 lbs of force and is a common unit in structural engineering)
2
An area of 0.065 in is based on the Gross Metallic Area, and the Minimum Breaking
Strength is 13 kips, as given in ASTM A 603 for a 3/8 inch diameter wire rope utilizing a
Class A coating. Note: no reduction in rope capacity was assumed for the terminations
and fittings on the wire rope, thus the actual capacity of the as-built system is less than
the results achieved in the analytical model.
Loads: For the analysis of the conditions observed during TTs investigation, four main
load types were considered: self-weight of the structure; applied dead loads of the
suspended entertainment technology equipment, and other suspended elements; preINDIANA STATE FAIR COMMISSION
Report on August 13, 2011 Collapse Incident

Page 64 of 110

April 3, 2012
TT Project No. C11137.00

stress of the guy lines; and wind. Since this analysis is only interested in the actual
stresses rather than what the stresses the structure should to be designed for, these
loads are applied without any load factors.
The Dead Load of the structure consists of its self-weight and any other static gravity
loads such as the suspended entertainment technology equipment. The self-weights of
typical structural components were compared to values obtained from the on-site
weighing and then adjusted accordingly. The weights of the suspended entertainment
technology equipment and the trusses that support them are also based on actual fieldrecorded values, rather than what is shown in rigging plots. The loads were applied as
vertical point loads where they were supported by the main roof trusses or purlins.
Within SAP, a cable element is pre-tensioned by designating a target force for that
cable. For the elements supporting the main trusses and the wire ropes in the gable
web trusses, no target force is assigned. These cable elements are only stressed by
dead load deflection and the applied lateral loads.
However, the guy lines were tensioned after erection of the structure using a ratchet
strap located at the connection to the Jersey barrier ballast. As discussed in Section
6.2 above, no information has been obtained concerning what instructions were
provided regarding tensioning of the guy lines. For the purpose of the FEM model it is
assumed the cables are at approximately 80% of the maximum practical force, or 760
lbs. In the absence of information on guy line tensioning order, the target force was
applied to all cables simultaneously.
The wind tunnel test data provided by RWDI consists only of base reactions. Since the
base reactions calculated utilizing ASCE 7 procedures were similar to the wind tunnel
test data, the analytical model was loaded with the wind tunnel loads based on the force
distribution calculated through ASCE 7 procedures. Since the wind test data is easily
scaled to any wind velocity, the analysis can be performed for a range of wind speeds.
(Note: other modifications to the wind tunnel test data are discussed in Section 6.1)
As stated in its report, RWDI concluded from reviewing meteorological data the wind
speed on August 13 could have reached up to 59 mph. Therefore, the FEM analysis
reviewed possible failure mechanisms for wind speeds up to 59 mph, while calculating
the wind speed at which each component fails. Furthermore, since the tunnel tests
looked at the forces on the structure both with and without the hanging LED scrim
curtain and LED screen in place, the analysis could be performed for both
configurations.
RWDI also concludes the wind at the time and location of the collapse incident was an
approximately west to northwest wind, based on review of video footage and evaluation
of objects being displaced by the wind. In order to determine the effect of direction and
bound the results, the FEM analysis considers three wind directions: from the west (a
West wind), from the north and from the northwest. Figure 32 below shows the applied
wind load for a West wind and a North wind.

Figure 32. SAP model showing applied forces for a West wind and a North wind

Because of the nonlinear cable elements, the loads must be applied in the order they
affected the structure and their results cannot be simply totaled. Based on the
construction sequence described in Section 4.2.2 the order of applied loads in the
model was as follows:

Self-weight (roof structure on columns).

Cable target forces (guy lines are tensioned).

Suspended entertainment technology equipment and rigging trusses.

Wind.

Nonlinear analysis proceeds in step-wise fashion so each load case in the analysis
uses the conditions at the end of the previous load case (applied loads, stresses,
displacements, stiffness) as its initial conditions.
6.3.1.2 Analysis Procedure
Analysis A: Staged Construction Module
To determine the actual sequence of failure, TTs analysis makes use of SAPs Staged
Construction Module. This feature allows elements and loads to be added or removed
in steps as needed. It is typically used to model construction sequences, such as
removing the forms from under a concrete deck or adding another floor to a building.
The analysis of the ISF Structure utilizes this feature to capture the effect of individual
component failures on the remaining structure and its overall performance, and to

INDIANA STATE FAIR COMMISSION

answer this question: would a particular localized failure lead to the total collapse of the
structure, or could the structure redistribute the load and carry that load or more?
The general procedure is as follows:

Apply self-weight, cable target forces, and the suspended entertainment


technology equipment loads.

Apply percentage of wind load until first component fails.

Adjust model to account for failed component.

Check for further failures.

Increase wind load until next component fails.

The process is repeated until the structure becomes unstable.


Two different wind load conditions are analyzed using the Staged Construction Module:
with the LED scrim/LED screen and without. The LED scrim curtain and LED screen
installed on August 13 greatly increase the wind load imposed on the ISF Structure.
The separate load cases allow a comparison of the performance of the structure with
and without these additional panels.
Several essential components of the structure are checked at each stage to ensure
their capacities are not yet exceeded. Within the lateral system, the sliding/tipping
capacity of the Jersey barriers and the capacity of the guy lines and their connection to
the superstructure govern the overall system capacity.
The tower truss column components are spliced utilizing shop welded end plates and
field bolted connections with less tensile capacity than the tower trusses themselves.
The column bases are modeled as connected to their supports but in fact have no
ability to resist net uplift. These areas are checked at each stage and modified if
necessary to account for a localized failure.
Jersey barriers
The performance of the system is governed overall by the Jersey barrier ballast, so
more detail is presented regarding their capacities and modeling a failure. There were
a total of 10 Jersey barriers attached to guy lines four each on the east and west
sides of the stage and two on the north side. Their placement and nomenclature are
illustrated in Figure 33 below. In the model the Jersey barriers are modeled as pin
supports. Jersey barriers designated as JB.W2, JB.W3, JB.E2, and JB.E3 have a guy
line attached at each end. The remainder only have one guy line attached at one end.
Whether the attached end is toward or away from the stage varies by location.

Figure 33. Jersey barrier layout with nomenclature utilized.


(Note: The red lines represent the guy lines connecting at the structure roof level and connected
near ground level to the Jersey barriers.)

A Jersey barrier could fail in one of two ways: by overcoming its frictional resistance
and sliding, or by pivoting about the edge closest to the stage. If the horizontal force
applied to the Jersey barrier is greater than its frictional capacity, it begins to move and
is unable to take additional lateral load. However, it continues to resist some load as it
slides. For a sliding Jersey barrier, the guy line in the model is removed so that no
additional force is transmitted to that particular Jersey barrier, while a point load in the
same direction as the guy tension but at 90% of the previous force is applied to
simulate the resistance of the sliding barrier.
The pivot failure case is only checked when a guy line is attached to the end of the
Jersey barrier further from the stage. In this case, when a barrier begins to pivot about
its stage-end tip, it swings sideways and acts as a mechanism that completely releases
its load. Within SAP the guy line is removed, but no point load replaces it. Any force it
is carrying must be redistributed within the model.
Note that a guy line attached to the near end of a Jersey barrier can lift that end, but the
barrier dead load will still maintain tension in the guy line, so it is not considered a
failure.
A description of the failure mechanisms and capacities of each Jersey barrier can be
found in Appendix D.3.

Analysis B: Full 59 mph wind gust


As a starting point, the full wind force under a 59 mph gust is applied to the model for
wind from each of three directions: north, west and northwest. One analysis is
performed including the forces imposed on the LED screen and LED scrim curtain. A
second analysis is then performed omitting them. Both analyses include second order
effects. The performance of the structure is then gauged by comparing the resultant
forces (demands) in the model to the resistance provided by supports and members
(capacities). Checks of the structure focused on the lateral system, including Jersey
barrier ballast, guy lines and fin plates connecting guy lines to roof trusses, and on the
truss columns, including the forces in the splice connections and at bases. A stress
check of the truss tower columns was performed following the Aluminum Design
Manual (ADM) Allowable Stress Design (ASD) Section. Overall deflection of the ISF
Structure was also checked and compared to the anticipated deflection based on
simplified stiffness of the guy lines. The results are discussed below in Section 6.4.
6.3.1.3 Wind Tunnel-Based Results
Analysis A Results
Performance of the ISF Structure under the applied wind loads varies depending on the
direction of the load, but for the three wind directions considered: from the north, from
the west and from the northwest of the stage are controlled by the capacity of the
Jersey barriers to resist lateral loads. In all three cases the Jersey barrier ballast is
insufficient to resist the wind forces imposed on the structure on August 13 which are
less than the 68 mile per hour wind speed resistance required by the most liberal
interpretation of the codes (ASCE 37 Construction Period Factor of 0.75 x 90 mile per
hour Indiana design speed).
North Wind Case
With the suspended entertainment technology equipment that was installed on August
13, the maximum wind speed the Jersey barriers ballast can resist is 25 mph. The
sequence of failures is rapid and does not allow for any increase in wind speed after the
first failure. The sequence is as follows:
1. JB.NW1 and JB.NE1 are both lifted and rotated about their south end.
2. The loss of the north two Jersey barriers causes JB.W3 and JB.E3 to both
immediately fail.
3. There is no remaining support for lateral load from the north, and the structure
collapses.
This sequence is illustrated in Figures 34a through 34c below.
The LED screen and LED scrim curtain add considerably to the wind forces imposed on
the ISF Structure. If the effect of this suspended entertainment technology equipment
that was installed on August 13 is removed, the collapse sequence remains the same,
but the maximum wind speed resisted increases to 38 mph for the North wind case.

West Wind Case:


The performance of the ISF Structure under a West wind differs from that of a North
wind. Specifically, the structure is able to carry an increase in wind load after the initial
failure. The initial failure occurs at a wind speed of 33 mph, and collapse occurs at 43
mph. The sequence is illustrated in Figures 35a through 35d and is as follows:
1. At 33 mph JB.W2 begins to slide.
2. The structure is able to resist an increase in wind speed, and at 41 mph JB.W4
starts to slide.
3. The structure stabilizes and is able to resist another increase in wind speed. At
43 mph JB.W3 starts to slide.
4. Immediately JB.W1 begins to slide. At this point there is no way to mobilize
additional lateral support to resist a west wind. It is understood that wind is still
being resisted as the ballast initially slides; however, P-Delta increases the lateral
load to the point of uncontrolled sliding and subsequent collapse of the structure.
The sequence and wind speeds above are based on the LED screen and LED scrim
curtain being in place. If the effect of these two elements is neglected, there is a
change in the order of events JB.W3 slides before JB.W4 and the maximum wind
speed that can be resisted increases. The initial failure occurs at 46 mph, and the final
wind speed causing collapse is 53 mph.

Northwest Wind Case


Similar to the West wind case, the ISF Structure is able to carry an increase in wind
load after the initial failure. The first failure of a Jersey barrier occurs at 25 mph. The
maximum Northwest wind speed the ISF Structure could resist as configured on August
13 is 28 mph. The collapse sequence is as follows:
1. At 25 mph JB.W3 starts to slide.
2. The structure stabilizes and is able to resist more wind load. At 28 mph the two
north barriers, JB.NW1 and JB.NE1, both pivot about their south ends.
3. Immediately JB.W1 and JB.E3 start to slide. Collapse of the structure follows.
This sequence is illustrated in Figures 36a through 36c.
The sequence and wind speeds above are based on the LED screen and LED scrim
curtain being in place. If the effect of these two elements is neglected the collapse
sequence remains the same, but higher wind speeds can be resisted. The initial failure
of JB.W3 occurs at 35 mph, and final collapse of the structure occurs at 40 mph.

Analysis B Results
To better understand the capacities of key elements of the structural system and their
potential abilities to resist wind load forces, the Analysis B model assumes Jersey
barriers do not slide or pivot, and all other elements remain in place. For this model
approach, under the conditions that existed on August 13 (59 mph wind gust, LED
screen and LED scrim curtain in place) loads imposed on the Jersey barriers exceed
their resistance, which is a finding consistent with the Analysis A staged failure results.
Table 1A below provides the horizontal force on each Jersey barrier under a 59 mph
wind with the LED screen and LED scrim curtain installed, in the hypothetical case that
all barriers remain functional.

A significant portion of the wind loads imposed on the ISF Structure is a result of the
suspended entertainment technology equipment added to the structure on the morning
of August 13 chiefly the LED scrim curtain and LED screen. As a further check of the
structure, the wind loads imposed on the structure by the LED screen and LED scrim
curtain are removed, and the resulting forces in the Jersey barriers are checked. The
Jersey barrier capacities are insufficient even under these reduced loads and would fail
under a 59 mph gust.

Table 1B: Horizontal forces on Jersey barriers (without LED Scrim / LED Screen)
(Note: The values in yellow indicate the capacity of the barrier has been exceeded)

The tower truss columns are checked for overstressed members under the full 59 mph
wind. Member forces exported from SAP are imported into a Microsoft Access
database, where they are checked for overstress per the Aluminum Design Manual
ASD section. Since the purpose of this analysis is to determine as-built loads and
stresses, safety factors are set to 1.0 (a code compliance check would require a factor
of safety well above 1.0). Axial and moment ratios are combined to give an overall
demand-capacity ratio (DCR) for each component of the truss tower columns. Given
the variation that is possible in material strengths ratios (actual material properties are
generally greater than minimum specified properties), DCR values less than 110% are
considered sufficient to indicate that failure is not occurring.
Twenty-two individual members out of almost 5,000 that comprise the truss tower
columns are overstressed under the 59 mph load case (have DCR greater than 110%).
The overstressed individual members are the lowest vertical tube members and are
located in columns B2, B4, F2 and F4. A large portion of the DCR of these members is
due to moment induced stresses, which points to a local effect caused by the flexibility
of the column base. As noted, the tower columns are seated on two intersecting
aluminum channels. Each vertical tube leg is connected through a combination of a
pocket in which the leg sits and a bolt, giving a connection that is not quite a full
moment connection, but also not a pin. In the model the connection between the
vertical column tube and the channel base is kept as a moment connection and no
releases are included. As the channel deflects under the vertical loads from the tubes,
it imposes a rotation on the tube, which induces a moment force. This is a highly
localized condition as the additional moment is quickly distributed in the truss and does
not affect the vertical tubes above the lowest one. Because the DCRs for axial forces
alone on the same tubes are below 1.0, and the as-built connection will have some

ability to rotate and relieve the imposed rotation, the truss tower columns are
considered sufficient for the 59 mph wind load conditions.
The guy lines are compared to the minimum breaking strength given in ASTM 603 for a
3/8 inch diameter wire rope. Under the full 59 mph north wind with the LED scrim
curtain and LED screen in place, the wire rope attached to the north face of F4 exceeds
its breaking strength of 13 kips. The guy line attached to the north face of B4 is within
one kip (1,000 lbs) of exceeding the breaking strength as well. Note that for both nodes
B4 and F4, the ratchet straps ultimate capacity of 10 kips (10,000 lbs) is exceeded
under the North wind. For the Northwest wind case the ratchet straps ultimate capacity
of 10 kips is exceeded for node F4. This is not an issue in the load cases where the
LED screen and LED scrim curtain are not installed.
Based on the calculated capacities the fin plate connections between the guy lines and
the roof trusses are failing under the 59 mph wind speed. Calculations of the fin plate
gate assembly show the governing capacity to be the bending capacity of the bottom
tube. This failure mode is evident in post-collapse photos from node B4 and is shown
in Figure 37 below. Table 2 below lists the fin plates that are failing for each load case
and the associated DCR. Of particular note is the fin plate on the west face of node B4,
which has a load demand of more than twice its capacity for the West wind and
Northwest wind load cases, and the fin plate on the north face of F4, which is loaded to
approximately three times its capacity under the Northwest wind case.

6.3.1.4 Comparison of Analysis Results to Observed Damage


As reported by RWDI, the wind on the day of August 13 at the ISF Structure site was
originating from the west and northwest directions, but predominantly from the west.
The barriers that displaced from their original location are JB.W1, JB.W3, JB.W4,
JB.NW1 and JB.NE1 as described in Appendix D.3. JB.W1 slid forward from its initial
position before being stopped by a guard rail; JB.W3 moved southeast until it fell down
a stairwell; and JB.W4 moved forward before coming to rest. None of the barriers on
the East side moved.
On the north side of the stage, JB.NW1 and JB.NE1 were both lifted up by the guy line
connection and rotated so their north ends pointed south. This correlates well with the
failure mechanism predicted for these barriers instead of sliding, they pivot about the
south end of each barrier due to the simultaneous vertical and lateral pull of the guy line
on the barrier.
The observed movements of the Jersey barriers correlate well with the predicted
movement of the stage under a west northwest wind based on the FEM analysis.
Under the force of a west wind it is expected that all west side Jersey barriers would
move, and none of the north and east barriers would move. By rotating the wind from
true west towards northwest, the forces are reduced on JB.W2, whose guy lines are
oriented to resist southwest forces, and are increased on JB.NW1 and JB.NE1, the
primary resistance to north winds. The final position of the stage is east and south of its
original footprint.
6.3.1.5

Summarized Conclusions of Finite Element Analysis


The Jersey barrier ballast as arranged provided insufficient resistance for the guy line
system forces imposed by the wind loads of August 13, 2011.
Under the conditions that existed on August 13, 2011 with the LED screen and LED
scrim curtain installed, the ISF Structure lateral system could only be expected to
withstand a 25 mph wind from the north or 43 mph wind from the west.

If the guy line ballast had been sufficient, the structure would have failed under the
59 mph wind gust experienced on August 13.

6.4

The fin plate connections between the guy lines and the main roof level
trusses did not have enough capacity to meet the loads imposed and would
have failed.

The wire rope breaking strength and ratchet straps ultimate capacity would
have been exceeded under a 59 mph wind from the north or the northwest.

Linear Elastic Analysis


As another check of TTs analysis results, a very simplified hand calculation check was performed
of the ISF Structure lateral system. The guy lines were assumed to be tension-only straight line
weightless elements with no contribution provided by wire ropes in compression. The capacity of
the structure was analyzed by calculating the stiffness of each component in the north and west
direction and determining the distribution of lateral forces based on stiffness. Guy line pretension forces were included in the forces imposed on the Jersey barriers, but not in the guy line
stiffness calculation. For this analysis several assumptions were made:

Wire rope upper-bound stiffness used: cables are taken as straight lines (weightless and
no sag).

Truss tower columns are pinned at the base and moment connected to the roof level
trusses. In a comparison of relative stiffness, the roof level trusses are much more rigid
than the columns.

The Modulus of Elasticity (E) of the steel wire rope = 20,000 ksi based on the minimum
modulus of elasticity given in ASTM A 603-98.

The E of the aluminum structure = 10,000 ksi.

Area of the steel wire rope = 0.065 in based on the Gross Metallic Area for steel

structural wire rope given in ASTM A 603-98.


4

Moment of Inertia of the column towers = 152 in .

No factors of safety used in calculating capacities.

On-site friction test values used for Jersey barrier sliding calculations rather than design
values.

The wind forces considered are based on the RWDI wind tunnel tests assuming minimal
suspended entertainment technology equipment and a rigid structure.

The lateral forces imposed on the structure are distributed based on the stiffness of each
component, with the stiffest load paths taking the most force. The primary lateral capacity and
stiffness is provided by the steel guy lines with the aluminum structure accounting for only 8 to
9%. Guy lines act only in tension and offer no resistance once placed in compression. The guy
lines that provide resistance to west winds are WR.A1.JB.W1.E, WR.B3.JB.W2.W,

performance of the structure under wind coming from both of these directions was checked along
with winds from the Northwest and North. The intent was to determine the lateral wind force that
would cause the system to fail and the corresponding wind speed.
The forces due to initial pre-tension of the guy lines were also included in the total forces that
must be resisted by the Jersey barriers. Two values formed the upper and lower bound: 760 lbs,
as was used in the FEM analysis, and 380 lbs, half of that value.
As described in Appendix D.3, there were two failure modes possible: sliding and pivoting about
one end. The demand on each Jersey barrier by the applied lateral force was compared to the
capacity of the Jersey barrier to resist sliding and pivoting. The structure was considered to be
failing when the demand-capacity ratio (DCR) of one of the main guy line supports, JB.W1,
JB.W4, JB.NW1 and JB.NE1, exceeded one.

(Note: The lower bound is based on an initial guy line tension of 760 lbs in all guy lines.
The upper bound assumes a 6 inch drape in all guy lines)

The results in Table 4 above are the wind speeds at which the forces imposed exceed the
capacity for one of the primary ballast locations (JB.W1 and JB.W4 for west winds, JB.NW1 and
JB.NE1 for north winds). These results are in line with the speed at first failure as determined
using the FEM analysis. What this analysis does not capture is the capacity of the structure to
redistribute imposed lateral forces. The failure of one Jersey barrier does not necessarily mean
the failure of the entire structure. It is clear even with this very basic analysis that the structure
as erected had a lateral system insufficient for its design wind speeds.

Simplified Analysis (Reasonable Engineer) Study


In addition to the forensic FEM analysis, TT conducted a simplified analysis based on the
information known to be available prior to August 13.
This information is limited in nature and differs from what was actually constructed. Furthermore,
several assumptions were made where information was not available. The results of this analysis
cannot be readily compared to the previously described FEM analysis due to differences in
geometry, loading, ballast arrangement, etc. This analysis is also intended to determine the level
of engineering can be achieved within a reasonable time frame and reasonable fee structure. It
also recognizes the limited information available regarding behavior and capacity of the
components and assemblies of the proprietary system utilized to construct the Structure.

The analysis also presents some types of assumptions that might be appropriate in evaluating the
stability of a structure of this type. Further, it is intended to demonstrate the impact of those
assumptions and to highlight critical information essential to reasonably carrying out an analysis
of this type of structure.
6.5.1 Simplified Analysis Assumptions
Codes and Standards
Several codes and standards were used in this analysis including the following:

IBC 2006, referencing ASCE 7-05. The methodologies of ASCE 7 are employed
including the calculation of velocity pressures and provisions for open buildings with
pitched roofs and trussed towers.

ASCE 37-02. The effects of permitting basic wind speed provision reductions for
temporary structures is evaluated.

ANSI E1.21. Methodologies for determining ballast requirements are employed.

Reference Documents
Several reference documents utilized include:

plan and one side elevation.
Information regarding the truss top chords, roof
members, tarps, etc. is not indicated. The height indicated varies from the 2011
installation and the permanent stage is graphically depicted; however, no dimensions
are indicated. This analysis utilizes the information included in the drawing and
missing information is approximated based on scale and geometry.

JTE Catalog) Member sizes; weights and geometry are based on the catalog
wherever possible. This information for other members is extrapolated.

2011 Sugarland Rigging Plot Suspended loading is limited to known loads


identified on the rigging plot.

System Assumptions

The proprietary system is assumed to be capable of collecting environmental loads


and able to internally carry and/or transfer applied loads between components, and
finally transmit those loads to the ground or into the guy line system. The JTE
catalog indicates that bending moments can be developed between the column and
spandrel elements; however the magnitude of those moments is not indicated.
Capacities for the fin plates are not indicated, nor are best practices outlined for
attachment of guy lines to the fin plates with regards to directionality.

Modeling Assumptions

All column base supports are modeled as compression-only springs.

Guy line system layout is optimized from an analysis standpoint it is assumed the
ballast arrangement can be laid out such that guy lines are in line with the main
structural frames, allowing for a 2-D analysis (see Figures 39 and 40). Ballast at each
location is intended to resist wind loads from one direction only.

Cables are modeled as tension-only rods cable elements were not used due to the
added complexity of accurately modeling cables and the unrealistic expectation that
the assumed pre-tension would be achieved during erection.

P- Delta effects were not included in the analysis actual stiffness of members and
assemblies, and actual fixities of component joints are not available in the JTE
catalog.

Loading Assumptions

Information regarding the LED scrim curtain and LED screen was unavailable prior to
erection of the structure; however, the effects of clear wind flow versus obstructed
wind flow are compared within the context of the provisions of ASCE 7.

The structure is assumed to be rigid as it relates to the Gust Effect Factor in ASCE 7;
an accurate determination of the natural frequency of the structure or the damping
ratio is unlikely given the limited information available.

Suspended loads are assumed to be evenly distributed over a given area.

Wind loads applied to the tarp are assumed to be transferred to the nearest structural
member. Actual anchorage points of the tarp occur only at the ridge and eave except
at the gable ends.

6.5.2 Simplified Analysis Procedure


Two frames were modeled separately: one frame parallel to the ridge and one frame
perpendicular to the ridge. Wind loads for both frames were calculated per ASCE 7
provisions for pitched free roofs. Cases A and B as defined by ASCE 7 were evaluated for
both clear wind flow and obstructed wind flow. The basic wind speed reduction provision of
ASCE 37 was also evaluated. Each frame was evaluated with the guy line angle from
horizontal at 30, 45 and 60 degrees for comparison. Absolute minimum loads per ASCE 7
Section 6.1.4.1 were also calculated. Calculation methodologies are outlined further in
Appendix D.9.

Figure 39. Wind loads applied parallel to ridge

Figure 40. Wind loads applied perpendicular to ridge

Horizontal and vertical ballast requirements on the windward side of each frame were
determined for each of the cases above utilizing two allowable stress load combinations from
ASCE 7. The first case, 0.6D+1.0W, utilized a safety factor of 1.5 based on the
recommendations of the ANSI 1.21 document. This load combination and safety factor

represent the typical design approach for stability. The second combination, 1.0D+1.0W,
utilized a safety factor of 1.0 and represents a best case scenario of the likely actual
behavior at the wind speed investigated. The results are presented in Tables 5 and 6.
6.5.3 Simplified Analysis Results
Three main factors significantly influence the amount of ballast required to restrain the
Structure. These factors are the total weight of the structure and suspended elements, the
type of flow, and the use of the ASCE 37 basic wind speed reduction.
The total dead load including the weight of the structure and suspended rigging and
suspended entertainment technology equipment has a significant impact on the ballast
requirements. Further, these loads may vary from one event to the next and are not truly
dead loads in that respect. Once the dead load of the structure and suspended elements is
overcome by wind uplift forces, the ballast requirements increase rapidly. Therefore it is
important that all of the suspended loads are known in advance and each loading
configuration is evaluated when determining the ballast requirements.
The next factor significantly affecting the ballast requirements is the type of flow. The
methodology for free roofs in ASCE 7 that was utilized to determine wind loads affects only
the pressures applied to the roof. Additional loads on surfaces suspended from the structure
must be calculated separately, and applied to the structure. In addition to the weight of
suspended entertainment technology equipment, it is important that the size, porosity and
shape of the suspended entertainment technology equipment are also known in advance and
evaluated when determining the ballast requirements. It is possible that a case with no
additional rigging load could control the ballast requirements.
The 25% reduction in the basic wind speed provision in ASCE 37 clearly has a significant
impact on the magnitude of the ballast requirements. This is especially true when the uplift
forces are sufficiently reduced such that there is no longer a net uplift. Although this structure
is erected for only a few weeks a year, it is reconstructed year after year during a time when
the occupancy is at its highest, and the cumulative installation period can exceed that of a
truly temporary structure.
In lieu of an arbitrary wind speed reduction, a more rational design method is to design to a
target wind speed based on several factors. One is the performance limits of the base
structural system erected in its intended configuration. Another factor is the creation of an
operational plan based on the limits of the structure that clearly outlines procedures to be
followed for specific weather conditions to protect the public, personnel and property.
For example, the guy line system and the connections to the structure may not have sufficient
capacity to meet some of the calculated ballast requirements. When determining the ballast
requirements, the ability of the structure to transfer load into the restraint system should be
considered. It is not practical to provide ballast for a condition which is beyond the capacity
of the structure. However this limit should then influence the operational plan.
The equivalent quantities of Jersey barriers for individual frame lines provided in Tables 5
and 6 show that a ballasted system that relies solely on its dead weight and friction can
INDIANA STATE FAIR COMMISSION
Report on August 13, 2011 Collapse Incident

Page 92 of 110

April 3, 2012
TT Project No. C11137.00

quickly become impractical to implement depending on the design requirements. This can be
shown by looking at the total number of Jersey barriers that would be required for a structure
based on a full design load, a safety factor of 1.5, obstructed flow and guy lines at 45 degrees
from horizontal: based on Tables 5 and 6, a total of 180 Jersey barriers would be required in
this case. Even for a best case scenario using the basic wind speed reduction, a safety factor
of 1.0 and no reduction of dead load, a total of 28 barriers would be required. This is a
significant increase from the 10 barriers that are provided to stabilize the Structure.
More efficient ballast arrangements can also reduce the demand on the structure and prevent
large accumulations of load at a single point of the structure. One method is to provide
ballast at the base of each column, which eliminates the additional horizontal component
applied to ballast connected by guy line systems. If the stage is erected above another
structure, the base structure should be evaluated for the weight of the ballast in addition to
the rigging structure. For lightly loaded structures where net uplift can control the design, this
method can help prevent the columns from getting knocked out from under the structure.
Another method of increasing the efficiency of ballast systems is to provide restraint for the
ballast so that it does not rely on friction (i.e. mechanical anchors). Care must also be taken
to ensure ballast systems do not overturn.
Some additional efficiency can be achieved with thoughtful guy line arrangement. For cases
where there is no net uplift, the angle between the guy line and the ground surface does not
have a major influence on the total amount of ballast required. However, when there is a net
uplift, the shallow angled guy lines are affected more noticeably.
This simple analysis also shows that regardless of the ASCE 37 provision of reduction in
basic wind speed, variations in wind flow and guy line angle, and different load combinations
or safety factors used in the calculations, the amount of ballast required can be significant.
The clear conclusion is that ballasted systems are not ideal for stabilizing these types of
structures.

SUMMARY & CONCLUSIONS

7.1

ISF Structure Component Deficiencies and Commentary


The failure modes of the ISF Structure were analyzed using the calculated wind speeds present
at the ISF Structure site on August 13, 2011. These wind speeds are lower than the minimum specified wind speed resistance required under even the most liberal provisions of applicable
building codes and reference standards. Further, the prescriptive requirements of the building
codes set the minimum level of performance expected of structures and do not necessarily
represent the standard of care that should be met when designing unique or complex structures.
Failure to meet that standard can result in undesirable performance or failures. Five aspects of
the ISF Structure failure are discussed below.

7.1.1 Lateral Guying System


7.1.1.1 Jersey Barrier Capacity
Both the Forensic Finite Element Analysis and the Reasonable Engineer analysis
conducted by TT found the Jersey barriers as arranged at the site provided insufficient
restraint for the guy line system for both code-specified wind loads and the lesser wind
loads of August 13, 2011.
Further, as demonstrated by TTs full-scale evaluation of the ballast capacity provided
by the Jersey barriers utilized at the ISF Structure, the as-built ballast system actually
provided more resistance than would be indicated by the more conservative published
design values that would customarily be used by an engineer manually calculating
these capacities. Therefore, a competent engineers desk-top design/review of the
ballast capacity utilizing accepted coefficients for concrete sliding should have shown
even less resistance, (i.e. an even larger deficiency) than found by TTs allowable
capacity forensic analysis.
7.1.1.2 Guy Line Capacity
Based on both the Forensic Finite Element Analysis and Reasonable Engineer
analysis conducted by TT, it was determined the guy line system installed at the ISF
Structure provided insufficient resistance against both code-required loads and the
lesser wind loads of August 13, 2011. Specifically, the synthetic ratchet strap and wire
rope breaking strengths would have been exceeded in the North wind case under the
59 mph wind loading had the ballast system been adequate.
7.1.1.3 Fin Plate Capacity
Based on both the Forensic Finite Element Analysis and the Reasonable Engineer
analysis conducted by TT, it was determined the fin plates located on the gate
members of the ISF Structure were insufficient to resist the guy line forces applied for
both code-specified wind loads and the lesser wind loads of August 13, 2011.
Specifically, if Jersey barrier ballast and guy lines had not failed first, the strength of fin

plate connections to the structure still would have been exceeded in the North, West
and Northwest wind cases under the 59 mph wind loading.
7.1.2 Roof Tarp/Membrane
7.1.2.1 Tarp Displacement
The ridge panel of the tarp tore away during the collapse, causing the eastern, leeward
half of the tarp to billow up and tear away from the ridge trusses. It was apparent the
wind was captured by the deformed tarp, thereby creating a parachute and catching
wind for an instant. Based on TTs analysis the effect observed did impose additional
drag forces on the ISF Structure main wind load resisting system; however, it is
important to note the ISF Structure was already in a collapse sequence by this point.
The total lateral force applied to the ISF Structure prior to this billowing was greater
than its lateral load resistance capabilities. Therefore, although the billowing roof tarp
might appear to have contributed a triggering lateral force, TT finds the structure was
already in a state of failure without the contribution of the roof tarp displacement.
7.1.2.2 Tarp Ridge Panel Release
The roof tarps ridge panel inherently acted as a fusible link because it was less
restrained than the mechanically connected (with ratchet straps and knotted ropes) east
and west halves. However, pressure relief of the ridge panel tearing away would have
contributed a negligible reduction to total lateral force. The RWDI wind tunnel test
without the eastern half of the roof tarp in place (simulating its failure during the
collapse) demonstrated that the lateral forces on the structure increased when the roof
panel was removed. Therefore, it appears that this ridge panel release would have
contributed to a reduction in uplift forces, but not lateral forces, imposed on the ISF
Structure.
Based on wind tunnel test results, TT finds that regardless of the ridge panel release,
the lateral forces on the structure were significant enough to cause the collapse without
considering the uplift on the roof. Even without the loading on the eastern half of the
roof, the lateral capacity of the structure would still have been exceeded. Therefore, TT
concludes the timing of the ridge panel release would not have had an effect on
maintaining stability of the ISF Structure.
7.2

Roles of Relevant Parties


The summary below identifies the roles of those parties involved with the manufacture, design,
erection, rigging and use of the ISF Structure.

7.2.1 Structure Manufacturer: James Thomas Engineering


James Thomas Engineering (JTE) is a designer and manufacturer of truss and lighting
systems for the entertainment industry based in the United Kingdom with United States
operations as well. JTE engineers and manufactures components in its U.K. facility as well
INDIANA STATE FAIR COMMISSION
Report on August 13, 2011 Collapse Incident

Page 98 of 110

April 3, 2012
TT Project No. C11137.00

as in the United States. According to the www.jthomaseng.com website, James Thomas


Engineering offers Truss Design and designs including Stage Roof Truss design and
aluminum truss design.
7.2.1.1 Unclear Intent of JTE Catalog
The James Thomas Engineering catalog (PRODUCT RANGE 2006) available on the
company website provides details regarding the components of the JTE systems;
however, the catalog falls short of being a design or users guide for the truss systems.
It is unclear based on the documentation provided if additional engineering guidance is
supplied to the erector/end-user regarding system capacities, limitations and erection
requirements of the structures. In addition, because documentation was withheld from
Thornton Tomasetti, it is unclear how much flexibility is provided to the end-users of the
systems with regard to configuration of the components and the resulting structural
limitations. Moreover, there is no explicit direction to engage the services of a licensed
design professional to analyze complex loading configurations or conditions. Examples
of other deficiencies are noted below.
7.2.1.2 Incompleteness of Load Data in JTE Catalog
Allowable Load data is presented in a tabular format and annotated as data that has
been extracted from the structural report by Broadhurst, Goodwin, and Dunn and/or
Jesse Mise. No attempt is made to discuss the ramifications of using multiple
components in an assembly or the fact these capacities from different components are
generally not additive in nature when multiple components are used together to
construct a roof/grid structure. For example, a structure using 10 columns, each with X
kips capacity, will not necessarily be capable of carrying a total load of 10X kips
because distribution of the load among the columns can vary.
7.2.1.3 Incompleteness of Lateral Bracing Guidance
The discussion of lateral bracing requirements is significantly lacking in detail. On page
6 of the 12 and 15 Ground Support Tower Operating Instructions, there is one
sentence regarding lateral bracing of the system: As noted in Safety Notes on page
2. If the truss is to be used outdoors then the whole system must be restrained against
wind loading on the truss; please refer to Guy Wire set" sheet. The subsequent page
depicts a column with a single guy line connected to a shallow helical ground anchor
and contains the note: Figure showing a Guy wire set up on one corner of the Tower
system. This must be used on all corners, if the Rig is used outdoors. These diagrams
should specifically identify the types of lateral systems required and/or state that
services of a licensed design professional are required to design an adequate system.
7.2.1.4 Incomplete Structural Calculations
It should be noted that representatives of James Thomas Engineering did provide
Thornton Tomasetti with one copy of an engineering report on approximately August
16, 2011. This hand-written calculation package was prepared by Jesse Mise, P.E. for
INDIANA STATE FAIR COMMISSION
Report on August 13, 2011 Collapse Incident

Page 99 of 110

April 3, 2012
TT Project No. C11137.00

James Thomas Engineering. The document, with pages dated 7/22/10, 7/23/10 and
7/24/10 analyzes three different concert rigging systems that were to be installed at the
Indiana State Fair. Based on the content of this report it is clear that Mr. Mise had
access to structural data that is not contained in the JTE Product Range 2006 catalog.
However, the analysis falls short of adequately addressing the actual loading conditions
of the Sugarland set and suspended entertainment technology equipment, or the actual
code-defined environmental loading conditions to which the ISF Structure would be
subjected. The most significant deficiency with regard to this review is the decision to
blindly apply the requirements of the 2010 installation, which were inadequate, to the
2011 installation and the further failure to implement even the totality of the
requirements specified in 2010. Moreover, the calculations reflect a misapplication of
the wind load provisions of ASCE 7, a haphazard and incorrect application of provisions
not specific to the structure, and a failure to provide a complete load path including
ballast requirements. Lastly, the operational recommendations (lowering of the roof
structure) stipulated for a high-wind event could not be implemented in a time frame
consistent with typical weather warning systems. Refer to Appendix D.10 for a detailed
discussion of these deficiencies.
7.2.2 Structure Owner/Erector: Mid America Sound (MAS)
According to the contract data posted on http://www.in.gov/sfc, Mid America Sound
Corporation (MAS) was contracted by the Indiana State Fair Commission for the procurement
and erection of the roof structure for the Grandstand Stage. Per 2011 correspondence from
MAS, the company has been providing service to the ISFC for over twenty years.
7.2.2.1 Variations in Configuration
According to interview notes contained within the Indiana Department of Labor
statement files, it was reported by Allen Story of Mid America Sound that the ISF
Structure was first erected in 1995 with assistance from personnel from James Thomas
Engineering. Based on photographs reviewed by TT, 2005 appears to be the first year
that a variation of the current ISF Structure (10 columns with super pre-rig truss roof
system) was used; however, in subsequent years there have been multiple
configurations and significant adaptations of the structure (refer to Appendix F.2
Comparison of Previous Configurations 2003 2011 for details).
7.2.2.2 Review of Structure Capacity
As the owner and contractor responsible for the erection of the ISF Structure, MAS has
a responsibility to review the proposed show loading and determine if the structure is
capable of supporting said loads. According to Robert Williams statement to IOSHA,
the bands provide diagrams months before the concert that indicate where the lighting
goes. This fact was corroborated by the August 14, 2011 email from Eric Milby to
Margaret Davidson where he stated: I received the rigging plot for Sugarland on July
5th from the tour. It was sent off to Kerry and Bob [at Mid America Sound] for approval
on the same day. from (sic) that point on I normally dont hear anything unless there is
a problem with the weight. Refer to the Sugarland Rigging Plot in Appendix B.3 for a
INDIANA STATE FAIR COMMISSION
Report on August 13, 2011 Collapse Incident

Page 100 of 110

April 3, 2012
TT Project No. C11137.00

copy of this diagram. Based on the information received and reviewed by TT, there
was no apparent review of the 2011 rigging plot by a licensed design professional.
7.2.2.3 Oversight for Erection of ISF Structure
It is clear from the statements made to IOSHA by Allen Story, Garod Cavanaugh, John
Robison and Robert Williams of MAS that Mid America Sound personnel provided
guidance and oversight to IASTE Local #30 personnel who erected the ISF Structure
between August 2 and August 4, 2011. In addition, Robert Williams reported that four
MAS personnel were on-site during the August 13, 2011 load-in for Sugarland.
7.2.2.4 Misunderstanding of Structure Limitations
The IOSHA interview summaries identify there were significant misunderstandings
regarding the configuration and limitations of the ISF Structure. Specifically, Mr.
Cavanaugh indicated a concern regarding a 40 mile per hour wind speed; John
Robison also referred to a dialogue in the production trailer and Mr. Cavanaughs
concern regarding 40 mile per hour winds. He also stated: we were taught that the roof
would handle 50 or 55 mile per hour winds safely, Al and Bob taught me that. As
demonstrated by TTs various analyses, the ISF Structures stability is highly dependent
on the weight and surface area of the suspended entertainment technology equipment
and scenery. Therefore, statements regarding a safe wind speed threshold are only
relevant to an unloaded structure (with no lighting or suspended entertainment
technology equipment). Further, this capacity would be contingent on establishing an
adequate ballast system, which was not present at the ISF Structure.
There is further misunderstanding regarding the center strip of the tarp membrane.
Allen Story indicated the center is designed to blow away in severe weather, a
statement corroborated by John Robison. However, as noted above, based on analysis
by Thornton Tomasetti, no significant pressure affecting the ISF Structure lateral wind
forces would be relieved from the structure by the removal of the center strip.
7.2.2.5 Misunderstanding of Jersey Barrier Configuration
The use of Jersey barriers as ballast is a practice that has been employed repeatedly at
the Indiana State Fair, yet it appears that those responsible for the design and erection
of the ISF Structure do not have a clear understanding of how the systems are utilized.
Allen Story states in his interview that the Guy wire is a standard 45 degree angle and
that the Guy wires go in the same place every year. Based on TTs review of the site
and previous years configurations, it is apparent that none of the guy lines are oriented
at a 45 degree angle and that various configurations of guy lines have been used in the
past.
7.2.2.6 Deviations from JTE Recommendations
As noted above, several different variations of the ISF Structure have been used in
recent years. Of significant interest is the fact that five extra support columns were
INDIANA STATE FAIR COMMISSION
Report on August 13, 2011 Collapse Incident

Page 101 of 110

April 3, 2012
TT Project No. C11137.00

specified by JTEs engineer (Jesse Mise) in the 2010 engineering report. Based on
review of 2010 and 2011 State Fair photographs, it appears the 2010 structure
contained five extra columns until the night of the 2010 Sugarland show when two of
the rear supplemental towers were removed. In 2011, all three rear supplemental
towers were installed during the initial erection of the ISF Structure, yet the two side
columns (at column line 3) were never installed. It should be noted that while these
elements contributed to the gravity-load carrying capacity of the structure, due to the
manner in which they were connected to the main trusses, they did little to increase its
rigidity or lateral support. Of similar interest is the fact that JTEs engineering report
called for 1/2 diameter guy lines at all four corners, yet the as-built configuration
utilized multiple 3/8 diameter guy lines in various configurations. Further, snap
bracing at the sloped roof plane was called for in the report, yet none of these
components were observed within the ISF Structure. Note: this discussion is not to
define a cause of the failure, but rather to present the ongoing lack of uniformity and
understanding of the requirements of the ISF Structure by those contracted to erect the
structure at the Indiana State Fair.
7.2.3 Structure Erector: IATSE Local #30
The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists
and Allied Crafts of the United States, Its Territories and Canada (IATSE) Local #30 provided
union labor to assist with the erection of the ISF Structure. As noted above, under the
direction of Mid America Sound, the IATSE personnel worked in early August to erect the
structure as well as on August 13, 2011 during the load-in for the Sugarland show. According
to IATSE labor invoices, three to four riggers and over 20 stagehands were utilized on a daily
basis to erect the ISF Structure over a three-day period spanning August 2 4, 2011.
7.2.3.1 Use of Certified Riggers
According to http://etcp.plasa.org, The Entertainment Technician Certification Program
(ETCP) is a program that offers certification in entertainment industry rigging. This
voluntary program was initiated to enhance safety, reduce workplace risk and to
improve performance of the rigging operation. Two types of rigging certifications are
offered by ETCP: Theater and Area. According to PLASA, the Rigger Arena
certification encompasses rigging that employs chain hoists and truss system
to
temporarily suspend objects from overhead structures in any environment.
It should be noted that a search of the online ETCP technician database
(http://etcp.plasa.org/cert_technicians/search.php) shortly after the ISF Structure
collapse indicated that only three riggers affiliated with Local 30 have been ETCP
certified as Rigger-Arena (see Appendix F.13). According to IATSE labor invoices one
ETCP-certified rigger was involved at the Indiana State Fair during the erection of the
ISF Structure on August 2 - 4, 2011; however, there are no records indicating if any
were present on August 13, 2011 during the installation of Sugarlands equipment.

7.2.4 Structure User: Indiana State Fair Commission Staff


The Indiana State Fair Commission staff assumed multiple roles related to the erection and
use of the ISF Structure. As noted above, the ISFC contracted with Mid America Sound to
provide and erect the ISF Structure, as well as contracting with IATSE Local #30 for labor to
assist in the erection.
7.2.4.1 Responsibility for Site Safety
As the controlling entity of the property at which a structure is being erected, the ISFC
staff should have a vested interest in the safety of the operations on their property.
However, based on discussions and from review of transcripts and interview statements
of ISFC staff, it is Thornton Tomasettis opinion that ISFC personnel lack technical
knowledge regarding the ISF Structure and its environmental load limitations and have
little to no involvement with the annual erection of the structure. The ISFC has no
records, documentation, plans, engineering reports or related technical data regarding
the structure that is erected at the property on an annual basis. Without having
technical information regarding the loading and environmental limitations of a structure,
one is not able to conduct an adequate risk assessment or develop adequate
contingency plans regarding said structure.
7.2.4.2 Need for Knowledge by Facilities Management Staff
At approximately 250 acres in size and with dozens of permanent structures, the
Indiana State Fairgrounds is a sizable campus with complex facilities management
needs. These responsibilities should be coordinated by a facilities management team
whose members fully understand the built improvements on the fairgrounds. Despite
the non-permanent nature of the ISF Structure, due to the fact that it is used on an
annual basis at a time when the fairgrounds have their highest population density, ISFC
facilities management employees should have a basic knowledge of the loading and
environmental limitations of the ISF Structure.

8.0

RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations are based on Thornton Tomasettis review of the Indiana State Fair
Collapse Incident through independent analysis, code review and related document evaluations.

8.1

Permit and Enforcement Process

8.1.1 Design by Competent Licensed Design Professional


Entertainment structures should be designed by licensed design professionals with
experience in the design and evaluation of temporary entertainment structures with complex
loading configurations. Calculations and drawings should be generated for each proposed
configuration of the structure as well as parameters for the proposed suspended trusses,
suspended entertainment technology equipment, lighting and scenery elements.
Overly
general empirical design guides or capacity tables for end-users to interpret are not sufficient.
Well documented rigging guidelines with defined assumptions, constraints and limitations
should be provided.
8.1.2 Submission of Permit Applications and Design Review
The above-referenced calculations and drawings should be submitted to the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ) for a formal permit review process as required for other Class 1 structures.
If the AHJ does not have adequate staff to properly evaluate the documents submitted with
the permit application, the AHJ should require an independent design check by a licensed
design professional with experience in the design and evaluation of temporary structures with
complex loading configurations. The cost associated with this review should be paid by the
applicant. This peer review process is employed in many jurisdictions for plan review of
both ordinary and complex structures.
8.1.3 Inspection of Completed Structure
A Special Inspection of the completed structure should be completed by an independent
licensed design professional with experience in the design and evaluation of temporary
structures.
8.2

Codes and Standards Requirements

8.2.1 Design Parameters Based on Use


Despite the fact these structures are temporary in nature; the ramifications of their failure
can be significant and severe. In fact, most entertainment structure installations are in
locations with dense crowds that are unfamiliar with their surroundings. Such Occupancy
characteristics generally require enhanced safety and redundancy in permanent structures
of a similar Assembly use. In addition, many entertainment structures are erected annually
over multiple years. This makes permanent design parameters more appropriate even
though there are periods of inactivity. Therefore, duration-related reductions in capacities

INDIANA STATE FAIR COMMISSION


Report on August 13, 2011 Collapse Incident

Page 107 of 110

April 3, 2012
TT Project No. C11137.00

and safety provisions are not necessarily warranted in the design or construction of such
structures.
8.2.2 Design Parameters Based on Variability
Entertainment structures are highly variable in configuration and loading.
Design
requirements must specifically define the need to check all proposed loading configurations
for both gravity and lateral resistance capacities. Consideration should be given to
environmental loads due to wind and seismic activity.
8.2.3 Design Parameters Based on Site Conditions
The structure design must be appropriate for the site at which the structure is to be erected
and used. Varying elevations, environmental conditions, ground conditions, soil conditions,
etc. will affect the performance of a system. A one size fits all approach cannot be utilized
when establishing limitations for a pre-engineered system.
8.2.4 Factors of Safety Based on Variability
These structures are highly variable in configuration and loading. In addition, the time
available for planning, design, analysis and construction is often limited. A well-established
approach to accommodate the multitude of unknowns associated with the aforementioned
conditions is through the application of increased factors of safety.
8.2.5 Specialty Reference Standards
Specialized structures such as the ISF Structure are complex systems that need to be
analyzed and designed as such. Therefore, it would be prudent for a US-based engineering
standards body to develop a comprehensive engineering-based document related to the
design, construction and use of these structures. A good example of such a document is the
guide published by the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) in the United Kingdom in
conjunction with participants from the entertainment rigging industry. The document,
Temporary demountable structures, Guidance on procurement, design and use, is a 100+
page manual that provides direction for design, erection and operation of such structures.
While not a code document, it provides detailed guidance for designers, constructors and
users/clients of temporary structures.
8.2.6 Modifications to Model Building Codes and Reference Standards
When an Authority Having Jurisdiction enacts local modifications to the boilerplate language
of model codes and/or reference standards (as done in 675 IAC 13-2.5-17), the amended
language should not change the intent of the code provisions nor should it eliminate content
that is not properly addressed elsewhere in the local amendments. In addition, the number of
exclusions or exemptions for specific structure types should be limited unless there is sound
engineering and life-safety justification thereof.

8.3

Lateral Systems

8.3.1 Ballast
The use of movable ballast elements relying on self-weight and friction is not a desirable
method by which to restrain an Entertainment Technology Temporary Ground-Supported
Structure Used to Cover the Stage Area and Support Equipment in the Production of Outdoor
Entertainment Events. As demonstrated in the Analysis sections of this report, an impractical
number of Jersey barriers would be required to adequately restrain a structure large enough
to accommodate the current suspended entertainment technology equipment used in
professional entertainment productions under normal code-specified loading provisions.
8.3.2 Mechanical Anchor Points
Mechanical anchoring systems should be utilized whenever possible for installations of
temporary ground-supported structures. Helical piers or other ground anchors can much
more readily achieve the load capacities required by such systems while also providing better
fixity in the event of dynamic loading conditions such as high winds or seismic activity.
8.3.3 Shared Anchor Points
Particularly if movable ballast is utilized, it is imperative that the designer and erector
understand the ramifications of grouping/shared guy line anchors. Whenever multiple guy
lines are attached to a single anchor point or ballast element, the effects of guy line geometry
may further reduce maximum resistance provided by that anchor or element.
8.3.4 Geometry of Guy Line Systems
Lateral guying must be provided to resist loads in all directions through the guy line system.
While actual site conditions/constraints and audience location/sight lines must be considered
when developing a practical arrangement for guy lines, there is never justification for
providing inadequate lateral restraint.
8.4

Operations
While beyond the scope of TTs investigation, it is the opinion of Thornton Tomasetti that several
operational changes should be implemented during the use of an Entertainment Technology
Temporary Ground-Supported Structures Used to Cover the Stage Area and Support Equipment
in the Production of Outdoor Entertainment Events.
An appropriate, feasible and cost-effective design cannot resist all possible environmental
conditions. Therefore operational constraints and limitations should be considered for the use of
such structures, with limitations and operational guideline plans formalized in a written document
drafted with input from all relevant stakeholders (client, manufacturer, owner, designer, erector,
performers/users, and public safety agencies responsible for any response operations at the
venue). Such plans should include, but not be limited to: limitations of the structure, atmospheric
monitoring requirements, evacuation requirements and emergency response operations

INDIANA STATE FAIR COMMISSION


Report on August 13, 2011 Collapse Incident

TT Project No. C11137.00

requirements. In addition to wind storms and snow loads (where applicable), risk assessment
and site safety plans should account for no-notice events such as seismic activity when such
events are probable risks at the subject venue.
However, operational guidelines must be realistic. Based on a review of recent failures, it is TTs
position that the operational actions recommended in ANSI/ESTA/PLASA 1.21 Section A.5.2 Pre
Use are not practical life-safety measures for the complex stage set and suspended
entertainment technology equipment arrays used in modern concert productions. Specifically, it is
often not practical to lower or remove scrims, much less the entire roof grid structure, in a timely
manner in the event of locally generated high wind conditions such as thunderstorms.

The 2011 Sugarland Document File


Numerous requests for The Sugarland Contract have been submitted. Because
of the events of August 13, 2011, the customary execution of a final written
contract and payment for services was not completed. While gathering and
identifying documents responsive to this request, we have compiled many
documents that provide insight into the negotiation of terms and are providing the
linked documents to show the terms of the negotiation and rider.
A final version of the 2010 contract has also been requested and is posted below.

Indiana State Fair Collapse Incident


Failure Investigation Site Protocol
17 August 2011
I.

Intent
In order to maintain the integrity of the incident scene and aid in evidence preservation, the
following protocol has been developed and implemented to control and track the access of
Interested Parties who wish to gain access to the incident location in addition to controlling the
materials within the collapse area.

II.

Secured Scene Perimeters


Outer Perimeter:
A secured outer perimeter has been established to define the boundary of access control. This
secured and patrolled perimeter is intended to prevent access to the site by unauthorized
individuals. The Outer Perimeter consists of the following elements:
North: Fence (pedestrian barricades) between the south side of infield parking lot and the
inner track. This fence is supplemented by a livestock fence that was installed
approximately 100 feet south of the aforementioned barricade.
East: Pedestrian barricade, livestock fence and concrete pedestrian tunnel wall.
South: Grandstands/chain link fence at south face of grandstands.
West: Pedestrian barricade, livestock fence and concrete pedestrian tunnel wall.
Inner Perimeter
An inner control perimeter has been established around the debris pile through the use of
Caution tape, traffic cones and other barricade methods. These elements are intended to create
a visual barriers and define access restrictions for the representatives from Interested Parties
who are on site.

III.

Control Points
Site access is currently obtained through one of two control points at the outer perimeter. All
personnel are required to enter at the south gate. Entry permission is based on the following:
Initial Entry: Representatives from Interested Parties shall submit the names of Authorized
Individuals by 2100 (9:00 PM) of the evening before they need access to David Hummel
at the Indiana State Fair. All information shall be transmitted via email to:

DAMAGE OBSERVATION SUMMARY


Jersey Barriers

JBW1-The Jersey barrier has slid approximately 3 to 6 in the easterly direction. The Jersey barrier slid
until the sliding was impeded by the guard rail post that lines the inside perimeter of the race track.
JBW2-The Jersey barrier does not appear to have moved significantly. This is evident by the
measurement of the wire rope and ratchet strap lengths and the approximate location of the
connection points of the guy lines to the main structure. Based on our geometrical calculations the
Jersey barrier does not appear to have slid significantly.
JBW3-The Jersey barrier slid and was lifted by the guy lines and landed in the stair way leading in to the
rooms under the stage.
JBW4-The Jersey barrier slid in the easterly direction approximately 14-0 .
JBNW1-The guy line attached to this Jersey barrier is located on the north face. Note that preliminary
observations appeared to indicate that the guy line connection to the wire rope is located on the south
end, however, based on the wire rope lengths measured it was determined that connection point is on
the north side of the Jersey barrier. This Jersey barrier was lifted from the north end and then rotated
clock wise about its south end then impacting a temporary fence and a fork lift.
JBNW2-No movement of the Jersey barrier is evident, note that guy lines were not directly attached to
this Jersey barrier.
JBE1- No movement of the Jersey barrier is evident.
JBE2- No movement of the Jersey barrier is evident.
JBE3- No movement of the Jersey barrier is evident.
JBE4- No movement of the Jersey barrier is evident.
JBNE1-The guy line attached to this Jersey barrier is located on the north face. Note that preliminary
observations appeared to indicate that the guy line connection to the wire rope was located on the
south end, however, based on the wire rope lengths measured it was determined that connection point
is on the north side of the Jersey barrier. This Jersey barrier was lifted from the north end and then
rotated clock wise about its south end then impacting a temporary fence.
JBNE2- No movement of the Jersey barrier is evident, note that guy lines were not directly attached to
this Jersey barrier.

Wire Rope and Ratchet Straps


WEST:
NS.A1.JB.W1.E- The ratchet strap is torn. Based on our examination of the failed ratchet strap, the failure
appeared to be attributed to a significant amount of tension. Evidence of strain hardening of fibers and
necking of the webbing material is observed. Note that one piece of the strap was found on top of Jersey
barrier JBW1, however, the second ratchet strap segment was found within the debris field near the
collapsed location of node E1. This ratchet strap had a knot tied in the tension plane. The failure of the
strap did not occur near the knot. It is also important to note that this ratchet strap is the only strap
observed on site that had a fixed take-up/travel distance. Specifically, the webbing is connected to the
ratchet hub in a manner that limited the variable length of strap. Therefore the knot is used in order to
shorten the strap length and allow it to be tensioned by the ratchet.
WR.A1.JB.W1.E- The guy line had no visible distress. Note that this guy line is connected to the rigged
sling that is connected to node A1.
NS.B3.JB.W2.E- No damage to the ratchet strap is evident.
WR.B3.JB.W2.E- No damage to the guy line is evident.
NS.B4.JB.W2.W- No damage to the ratchet strap is evident.
WR.B4.JB.W2.W- No damage to the guy line is evident. Note that the fin plate in node B4 is torn out from
the remaining components on the nodes west face.
NS.B3.JB.W3.W- Note the ratchet strap is torn. Based on our examination of the failure at the strap, it
was determined that the strap appeared to have come in contact with a sharp edge such as the wires
from the chain link fence. The second piece of the ratchet strap was found near the west speakers just
west of node B1 in the debris field.
WR.B3.JB.W3.W- No damage to the guy line is evident. Note that sections of the wire rope appear to
have been unshackled during the rescue efforts.
NS.B2.JB.W3.E- No damage to the ratchet strap is evident.
WR.B2.JB.W3.E- No damage to the guy line is evident
NS.B4.JB.W4.E- No damage to the ratchet strap is evident
WR.B4.JB.W4.E- No damage to the guy line is evident. Note that the fin plate in node B4 is torn out from
the remaining components on the nodes west face.
EAST:
NS.G1.JB.E1.W- No damage to the ratchet strap is evident.
WR.G1.JB.E1.W- No damage to the ratchet strap is evident.
NS.F3.JB.E2.W- No damage to the ratchet strap is evident.

WR.B4.JB.NW1.S - No damage to the ratchet strap is evident. Note that sections of the wire rope appear
to have been unshackled during the rescue efforts. Note regarding nomenclature: Based on overall
length measurements of the ratchet straps and guy line at the warehouse it was determined that the guy
line connection point to the Jersey barrier is located in the north end of the Jersey barrier and not the
south end.
NS. B4.JB.NE1.S -No damage to the ratchet strap is evident.
WR.B4.JB.NE1.S - No damage to the guy line is evident. Note that sections of the wire rope appear to
have been de-shackled during the rescue efforts. Note regarding nomenclature: Based on overall length
measurements of the ratchet straps and guy line at the warehouse it was determined that the guy line
connection point to the Jersey barrier is located in the north end of the Jersey barrier and not the south
end.

site examination of the collapsed structure.
Roof Tarp
Based on comparison of on-site observations and collapse sequence photo and video, the damage to the
west half of the roof tarp membrane is attributed to the impact. However, the middle and east panel
sustained damage prior to collapse. The center panel disengaged and tore along the Velcro seam. The
hooks on the straps connecting the east panel to the ridge members pulled the grommets in the panel out
of the tarp material, releasing the tarp from its mechanical connection to the ridge components. The East
panel tore into multiple pieces and landed near the south east corner of the structure.

INTRODUCTION

Rowan Williams Davies & Irwin Inc. (RWDI) was retained by Thornton-Tomasetti to study the overall wind
loading on the Indiana State Fair Performance Stage located in Indianapolis, Indiana. On August 13,
2011 the performance stage overhead structure at the Indiana State Fair failed during an apparent high
wind event. Additionally, the fairgrounds had previously, on August 9, 2011, experienced a strong wind
event which apparently did not cause structural damage to the overhead structure.
This report outlines the results of the analyses that RWDI conducted to determine the probable overall
th
wind loads acting on the structure at the time of the failure and a comparison with the August 9 weather
event. These analyses include:
I.

A review of the available meteorological data to determine the range of possible wind speeds at
the time of the failure on August 13, 2011.

II.

A review of the available meteorological data to determine the possible wind speeds during the
earlier wind event on August 9, 2011.

III.

A wind tunnel study to determine the overall wind loading of the overhead structure for various
wind speeds and wind directions.

WIND TUNNEL TESTS

2.1

Study Model and Surroundings

A 1:32 scale model of the stage was constructed using information provided by Thornton-Tomasetti. The
model was constructed in two halves to facilitate the measurement of the wind loads on each of the east
and west halves of the overhead structure. The wind loads for each half were then combined to
determine the wind loads on the entire structure. The wind tunnel model was constructed in such a way
as to isolate the wind load on the permanent stage platform as well as the tents on the east and west half
of this platform. This then focused the investigation solely on the overhead structure which failed during

the event. The model was tested in the presence of upwind surroundings such as transport trailers and
performance support equipment within a full-scale distance of 128 ft from center stage, in RWDIs 8 ft
6.5 ft wind tunnel facility in Guelph, Ontario for the following test configurations:
Configuration 1 Indiana State Fair stage and overhead structure with complete roof tarps and
all stage equipment (LED screen and moustache-shaped curtain).
Configuration 2 Same as Configuration 1 but with east half of roof tarps removed as observed
in video records approximately coincident with initiation of failure.
Configuration 3 Indiana State Fair stage and overhead structure with complete roof tarps and
no stage equipment (LED screen and moustache-shaped curtain).
Configuration 4 Same as Configuration 3 but with east half of roof tarps removed.
Photographs of the wind tunnel study model are shown in Figures 1-1 through 1-4, corresponding to test
Configurations 1 through 4, respectively. An orientation plan showing the location of the study site is
given in Figure 2.

2.2

Approaching Wind Simulation in the Wind Tunnel

As will be discussed in section 3, at the time of the failure a localized storm front was moving through the
area of Indianapolis. Since these storm fronts are associated with localized thunderstorm activity, they
are not typically associated with standard synoptic (weather patterns over large areas) type boundary
layer profiles (those generated by primarily horizontal wind flow over long stretches of ground terrain and
buildings), the wind tunnel model was tested in smooth, uniform flow. The resulting wind load coefficients
are then applicable to the gust wind speed as indicated from the review of the local meteorological data
for the event. Review of the video footage showing the flapping of the American flag and the banner
hanging on the south face of the gable indicates that the wind was blowing from a westerly direction at
the specific site of the stage. Since the precise wind direction acting on the overhead structure during the
event is unknown, the wind tunnel tests were conducted for a range of wind directions from the west
o
o
through north (i.e. 260 through 360 ). Wind direction is defined as the direction from which the wind
blows, measured clockwise from true north.

2.3

Scaling of Wind Tunnel Data

Since the wind tunnel tests were carried out using a geometric replica of the site and the overhead
structure which had a size which was 1/32nd of the size of the real structure, and the wind speed in the
wind tunnel was set to a value which was appropriate for the model, the question may arise as to how
forces measured on the model are scaled up to represent the forces experienced on the real structure at
the time of failure. This is done routinely in wind tunnel testing by formulating the results as force and
moment coefficients which are then applicable to the full scale situation.

However, in a simplified form it can be explained as the wind tunnel measures two basic quantities: 1) the
force or moment being applied to the model; and 2) the wind pressure created by the wind flow in the
tunnel. The forces can be presented in pounds and the wind pressures can be presented in pounds per
square foot.
To take these quantities and scale them to the full-scale situation requires two steps. First the forces in
th
pounds are on the model which presents a frontal area to the wind which is 1/1024 that of the real
structure due to its smaller size. Therefore the forces need to be multiplied by 1024 in order to determine
the force that the real structure would have experienced under the wind speed created in the wind tunnel.
Secondly, since there is a range of possible wind speeds that could be experienced at the fairgrounds
site, the forces need to be scaled to the desired wind pressure which is created by the target wind speed.
To do this the target full-scale speed is converted to wind pressure using a standard method incorporating
the air density. This method is described in building codes and is in common use in structural design.
Then a ratio is created between the target wind pressure and the wind tunnel test wind pressure. The
forces previously scaled for model size are then multiplied by this ratio to produce the desired full-scale
forces at the target wind speed.

3.

LOCAL WIND CONDITIONS

The wind speeds cited in this report and used in our analysis correspond to peak gust speeds. Wind
speeds are often quoted based on different averaging times and referenced to different heights.
However, in the United States, the ASCE 7 Standard, which is the national guideline referenced by
various building codes, uses the 3-second gust wind speed, as its basic wind speed for deriving wind
loads on structures. Hence, for consistency RWDI has adopted a similar approach in deriving wind
speeds, and in turn, estimating wind loads that correspond to 3-second gust wind speeds which translate
to the peak load acting on the structure.

3.1

On Day of Incident August 13, 2011

Thunderstorms had been developing across much of central Indiana ahead of a cold front in the
afternoon and early evening the day of the stage overhead structure collapse, with the majority of severe
weather reports occurring between the hours of 7:00 pm and 9:30 pm.
Local meteorological records were obtained from four principal weather stations from the National
Climatic Data Center (NCDC) for the day of the collapse, as well as records from 2 additional stations
managed by the Indiana Department of Transportation. These stations are listed in Table 3 and their
locations are indicated in Figures 3-1 and 3-2.
The mean and gust wind speed data were reviewed at each station. All stations reviewed indicated that
mean wind speeds were generally less than 10 mph and primarily from directions south-southwest
through west for most of the day, but increased quickly sometime after 8:00 pm EDT, with a
corresponding shift in wind direction to the northwest through north-northwest. The wind speeds at these
stations peaked at varying times between 8:30 pm to 10:00 pm EDT. The maximum gust wind speed

measured at these stations was a gust wind speed of 52 mph. The winds were typically from the
southwest prior to the event, and became more from the northwest during and immediately after the
event. The time series of the wind speeds at these stations are included in Figure 3-2. Weather radar
records for the event indicate that the variability of the gust speeds over the city can be attributed to the
fact that this storm system was made up of several thunderstorm cells, and as such the maximum wind
speeds varied both temporally and spatially as the system passed over Indianapolis.

In addition to the review of the local surface level measurements, RWDI used the Wind Atlas Analysis
and Application Program (WAsP) to evaluate the wind conditions at the Stage site. This software was
developed by the Wind Energy Division at Ris Danish Technical University, Denmark and is widely used
in the Wind Energy Production Industry. The program extrapolates the wind speeds over an area given a
measured wind speed and direction at a specific point, taking into consideration the changes in ground
elevation and surface terrain roughness in moderately complex terrain. Based on the WAsP analysis, the
peak gust wind speeds at the site near the time of the collapse were predicted to be in the range of 57
mph to 59 mph. It is important to note that WAsP spatially extrapolates winds assuming neutrally stable
atmospheric conditions, and cannot accurately account for the spatial variability of the mean wind speeds
or the turbulence created by the thunderstorm system, however it does account for the variation in the
mean speed and turbulence due to the terrain differences between the station locations and the stage
site.

3.2

August 9, 2011

On August 8 and 9, 2011 in the days leading up to the collapse incident, thunderstorms had been
reported across the state of Indiana. Measured data collected in the area directly indicated a peak gust
at approximately 6 pm EST (7pm EDT) on Aug 9, 2011 of 57.5 mph recorded at the Indianapolis
International Airport, and 47.2 mph recorded at Eagle Creek Airpark. On these two days, winds were
generally from the southwest through to west-southwest, and switched more northward to westnorthwest. Data from these two stations were the only wind speed data available to us at the time of
writing. The difference between these two stations reflects the localized nature of the wind gusts
produced by the thunderstorms that moved through the area on that day, and in turn, the range of wind
speeds for these days can assumed to be between 40 mph and 60 mph.
th

Reviewing the radar records for this August 9 event shows that the area covered by the storm on this
day was not as large as noted for the day of the collapse incident. This is consistent with the difference in
speeds reported from the two stations.

CONCLUSIONS

4.1

Predicted Wind Speeds

The weather system that passed through Indianapolis on the day of the incident was driven by a cold
front in advance of which many thunderstorm cells developed. Since thunderstorms are highly localized

and short term events, wind speeds during these events will be highly variable spatially and temporally.
There is considerable uncertainty in trying to predict an actual wind speed or direction at a particular
place and time during such an event, however, given the extensive reported and measured wind speeds
in the area, a likely range of peak wind speeds can be estimated. From the peak wind speeds reported in
the surrounding area, and our predicted speeds at the site, it is our opinion that the peak gust speed was
at least a 3-second gust speed 52 mph and upwards of 59 mph.

4.2

Base Moment and Shear Forces

The reference axis system used to define the forces and moments is illustrated in Figure 4. The overall
wind-induced overturning moments and shear forces acting at grade have been calculated for the 52 mph
3-second gust wind speed and are presented for all test configurations in Table 1. Table 2 provides
conversion factors to calculate wind loads based on alternate wind speeds
The wind loads presented in Table 1 only include the effect of the overhead structure and all associated
elements attached to that structure, including the roof and stage equipment described in section 2.1. The
wind loads do not include the effects of the permanent stage platform or the tents on the east and west
half of this platform.
For illustrative purposes, the overall wind-induced loads for each wind direction tested are presented in
Figure 5 for all test configurations. The loads in this figure are the values based on the predicted wind
speed at the time of the failure as discussed in Section 3.
In reviewing the wind loads presented in Table 2 it can be seen that for wind directions in the range of
o
o
260 through 300 the X-direction shear wind loads increase with the removal of the tarp on the east half
of the roof. These are the wind directions that are the most probable to have occurred at the time of the
failure. With the loss of the tarp on the east half of the roof, a considerable proportion of the interior
structure becomes more exposed to the wind and the overall drag (X-direction) increases. Similarly, for
these wind directions the measured wind loads increase on average by 52% when all stage equipment
(LED screen and moustache-shaped curtain) is included.

5.

APPLICABILITY OF CONCLUSIONS

5.1

Exposure

The wind loads provided in this report are applicable to the exposure as described in section 2.2 of this
report. At the time of the failure a localized storm front was moving through the area of Indianapolis.
Since these localized storm fronts are not typically associated with standard synoptic type boundary layer
profiles (those generated by primarily horizontal wind flow over long stretches of ground terrain and
buildings), the wind tunnel model was tested in smooth, uniform flow. This is approximately equivalent to
an exposure D for the ASCE standard. If, in the course of the analysis of the structure, the wind loads
need to be scaled to a different exposure for comparison with building code approaches, the provided

wind loads may be multiplied by the ratio of the velocity pressure coefficients as an approximate
adjustment (Kz, or Kh).
For example if the wind loads were to be scaled to synoptic type wind event then the appropriate
exposure at the Indiana State Fair would be that of a C type. The wind loads could then be multiplied by
0.85 (1.09/1.27).

5.2

Wind Loads

The wind loads provided in this report are based on the assumption that the stage is a rigid structure as
defined in the Section 6 of the ASCE standard. Therefore they are equivalent to the wind loads that
would be calculated using the Rigid Structure gust effect factor in the standard. This assumes that the
structure has a natural frequency greater than 1 Hz. If it is determined that the structure has natural
frequencies less than 1 Hz, the wind loads provided may be scaled approximately using the ratio of the
gust effect factor as calculated by the Flexible or Dynamically Sensitive Structure to the gust effect
factor calculated by the Rigid Structure method.
This calculation of gust effect factor requires a value for the inherent structural damping of the system.
Damping is the ability for the structure to stop vibrating (eg. swaying back and forth) once it has been
caused to move. The actual value for the main overhead structure is unknown but it is anticipated to
have been within the range of 0.5% of critical damping up to 1.5%. A reasonable value to take would be
1.0%. The scrim wall made of a woven has greater inherent damping than the structure and the
aerodynamic damping produced by forcing air through the numerous openings is high but since it was
hung directly from the structure, adopting the recommended structural value of 1.0% is reasonable for
current purposes.
For example, if using the Flexible or Dynamically Sensitive Structure method the gust effect factor is
determined to be 0.97 then the wind loads provided would be scaled by 1.14 (0.97/0.85).

5.3

The Proximity Model

The structural wind loads determined by the wind tunnel tests and the associated analysis are applicable
for the particular configurations of the stage site at the time of the failure of the overhead structure on
August 13, 2011.

5.4

Study Model and Structural Properties Information

The results presented in this report pertain to: 1) the scale model of the Indiana State Fair stage,
constructed using the information supplied by Thornton-Tomasetti; and, 2) the different configurations of
the stage as discussed in section 2.

TABLE 2: WIND LOAD CONVERSION FACTORS


The results presented in this report are based on a basic 3-second Gust wind speed of 52 mph. If the
project team wishes to convert the wind loads to an alternate wind speed then the wind loads can be
multiplied by the factors listed below. The conversion factors are based on the square of the ratio of the
wind speeds. For example, a wind load factor for converting to a basic 3-second Gust wind speed of 57
2
mph was arrived at by: (57/52) = 1.20.

The provided overall wind induced overturning moments, and shear forces are the
summation of the wind load on the entier stage structure acting at grade.
Theoverall wind loads are mean loads based on a 3-second gust wind speed of 52 mph at 33 ft.
The reference axis system used to define the forces and moments is illustrated in Figure 4.

DETERMINATION OF COMPONENT WEIGHTS


The various components of the ISF structure were dismantled and weighed. The weighing of certain
components was done at the ISF Fairgrounds between 30th October 2011 and 1st November, 2011. The
weighing of various other components at the warehouse was performed between 7th November to 18th
November, 2011.
The following equipment was used to lift and weigh the dismantled parts:
2 Point bridles
Chain Hoists
Shackles
Wire Rope Choker
Dillon Dynamometer
Dillon Receiver
Wedgelink, a keyboard wedge software application was used to import the measured data from the
Dillon equipment into Microsoft Excel. A software keyboard wedge reads data from a serial port and
passes this data to a PC application in such a manner that the application thinks the data is entered via
the keyboard. Hoisting was performed with the use of the crane utilized for dismantling of the structure.
Additional components were hoisted in the warehouse by the forklift at that location. Some of the ranges
of weights of standard components used in the rigging of the ISF Structure are shown in the table below.

JERSEY BARRIER CAPACITY CALCULATIONS


The lateral support system of the Indiana State Fair Structure consists of guy lines attached to the
structure at roof level and restrained at ground level by concrete Jersey barriers. The Jersey barriers act
as ballast restraints resisting the guy wire force only with dead weight and friction with the ground. The
performance and capacity of the ISF structure under the influence of wind loads depends on the capacity
of the Jersey barriers. This appendix outlines the capacities calculated and expected failure
mechanisms of the Jersey barriers.
There are a total of 10 Jersey barriers attached to guys four on the East and West sides of the stage
and two on the north side. Their placement and nomenclature is illustrated in Figure 1 below. In the
finite element analysis model the Jersey barriers are modeled as pin support.
JB.W2, JB.W3, JB.E2, and JB.E3 have a guy line attached to both sides. The balance of the Jersey
barriers only connect to one guy line each.

Figure 1A. Jersey Barrier layout with tagging nomenclature shown. The red lines represent where the guy
lines connect to the Jersey barriers and Structure.

Wind forces from the north are resisted by 4 barriers: JB.NW, JB.NE, JB.W3 and JB.E3 with the NW and
NE barriers providing most of the resistance. JB.W1, JB.W2, JB.W3, and JB.W4 resist westerly wind

forces. For wind forces from the south only JB.W2 and JB.E2 provide support to the ISF structure in
such cases.
The Jersey barriers used at the Indiana State Fair are 10 feet long and 32 inches high with a flared foot
at the base that is typical of such barriers. The guys are attached to steel hooks embedded in the face
of the barrier and located 28 inches off the ground.
The sliding resistance of each Jersey barrier was determined using on-site static friction tests of 5 of the
barriers. For the barriers that were not tested, it is assumed the coefficient of static friction () is similar
for a similarly placed barrier. For example JB.W2, JB.W3, JB.E2, and JB.E3 are all located near the
stage on the west and east side. The force needed to cause JB.W2 to start sliding was measured in the
field and the determined. This same value of was then used far JB.W3, JB.E2, and JB.E3. Table 1
gives the used for each barrier. If is based on the test of another similarly place barrier, then the
value is shown in red. Every barrier was weighed.

Table 1: Jersey barrier weights and friction tests results.

The sliding capacity of the barriers is equivalent to the value given above times the weight of the
Jersey barrier minus any uplift on the barrier due to the angle of the cable. The steeper the angle of the
cable, the more uplift will be imposed on the barrier, and the less the frictional resistance available. It
should be noted that the values obtained are actually greater (i.e. providing more resistance) than the
published design values that would customarily be used by an engineer manually calculating capacities
provided by such ballast.

Figure 2: Forces imposed on Jersey barrier.

In addition to the angle of the guy line to the ground, the guys have a plan orientation that determines
which direction they resist loads from. The 10 barriers can be grouped as follows

Provides resistance against north winds: JB.NW1, JB.NE.1, JB.W3, JB.E3


Provides resistance for west winds: JB.W1, JB.W2, JB.W3, and JB.W4
Provides resistance against east winds: JB.E1, JB.E2, JB.E3, and JB.E4
Provides resistance against south winds: JB.W2, and JB.E2

The maximum capacity of each Jersey barrier for lateral forces in the north and west directions are
calculated and shown below in table 2. For the Jersey barriers with two guys attached, it was assumed
that each guy is carrying the same tension force for this calculation. In the Finite Element analysis the
actual force carried by each will be used to determine if the barrier has exceeded its sliding capacity.

On the north side of the stage JB.NW1 and JB.NE1 are both positioned to the north of another Jersey
barrier that has no guy wire attached. It is believed that arrangement was to provide the two north side
Jersey barriers additional resistance. When JB.NW1 and JB.NE1 started to slide, they will push up
against the second barrier. In the arrangement as constructed at the ISF, however, the governing failure
mechanism for the north side Jersey barriers was tipping, not sliding. Figure 3 below shows the forces
that would cause a Jersey barrier to pivot around its front edge. Table 3 gives the values at which
tipping would occur in Jersey barrier JB.NW1 and JB.NE1.

Figure 3. Forces in a Jersey barrier that would lead to tipping

Within the Finite Element analysis a Jersey barrier was considered to have failed if it surpassed its
sliding or tipping capacity. If the barrier started to slide, the model was adjusted so that barrier could not
take on any more load, but that it did not release all of the load it was already carrying. This was
accomplished by removing the cable and replacing it with a force in the same direction with 90% of the
cable load as a very conservative estimate of kinetic friction capacity. If a barrier failed by pivoting about
one end, instead, then the barrier not only could not carry any additional load, it would release the load it
was carrying. This was modeled by removing the cables attached to that Jersey barrier.
Assuming the Jersey barriers are all loaded to their capacity, then the maximum lateral forces the Jersey
barrier tie backs can support are:

6400 lbs for a west wind


6576 lbs for a north wind

JERSEY BARRIER FRICTION MEASUREMENT


As noted above, a series of tests were performed to determine the static friction resistance offered by the
th
Jersey barriers. The testing took place at the ISF Fairgrounds on 10 November, 2011. The tests were
performed on the following categories of Jersey barriers:
Displaced: Displaced Jersey barriers serving as ground anchor points that were moved by the
collapsing structure. These Jersey barriers were moved back to their approximate pre-collapse location
to be evaluated.
Non-displaced: Jersey barriers serving as ground anchor points that were not displaced by the
collapsing structure and are still in their original pre-collapse location. The testing procedure displaced
these barriers from their undisturbed positions.
The location of each barrier was documented and photographed before, during and after each test.

Figure 4: Jersey barrier friction evaluation - Setup

The friction evaluation involved four configurations:

Longitudinal - Horizontal
Longitudinal - Inclined
Transverse - Horizontal
Transverse - Inclined

The frictional resistance of the Jersey barriers was evaluated using the angles of inclination at
which they were originally attached by the guy lines to the ISF Structure. The angles of
inclination varied between 31 and 61 to the horizontal plane (i.e. to the ground).
By mean of this evaluation, the inclined static friction resistance of the Jersey barriers was
determined. The Jersey barriers were also evaluated for their horizontal static friction resistance
where the Jersey barriers were drag tested with the cables parallel to the ground (i.e. angle of
inclination = 0 ).
Photographs of the types of tests are shown below. It must be noted not all four tests not
performed on all Jersey barriers and in some cases the Jersey barriers were only weighed.

WIRE ROPE PRE-TENSION CAPACITY EVALUATION:


The ratchet straps that connected the wire rope to the Jersey barriers were tested to assess the
maximum amount of pre-tensioning force that could be applied on them.
The ratchet straps were attached to the Jersey barriers at an angle that would effectively capture the
behavior of the various configurations (i.e. location and orientation, of the straps.) A Dillon dynamometer
was attached between the shackle and the strap so that the pre-tensioning force in the strap could be
measured. The strap was tensioned by means of the ratchet and the maximum pre-stressing force that
could be applied until the ratchet could no longer tension the strap was recorded on the dynamometer.
The average pre-stress force that could be ratcheted into the strap was found to be approximately 950
lbs.

WIND ANALYSIS
1.1

Wind Analysis Procedures and Factors


TT calculated the wind forces to the main wind force resisting system of the ISF Structure
using ASCE 7-05, the standard adopted by the Indiana State Building Code. The following
procedures and factors were used:
The ISF Structure has an open gable roof structure with the suspended scrim curtain
causing an obstructed wind flow in the north-south direction. (Note: the scrim curtain does
not account for 50% or more of the blockage in the underside of the canopy in the west to
east direction but does in the north to south direction.) Loading of the roof is calculated in
accordance with ASCE 7-05 section 6.5.13.2 and Figure 6-18B and Figure 6-18D for cases
Case A and B.
The superstructure and columns are lattice frameworks, and wind loads on these elements
are calculated in accordance with ASCE 7-05 section 6.5.15 and Figure 6-22.
The wind loads on the eaves of the structure are assumed to behave as free standing signs
partially covered with the tarp. This is done to account for the drag loads imposed at the
eave by the roof tarp covering a portion of the perimeter trusses. The loading on the main
wind force resisting system was performed in accordance with ASCE 7-05 section 6.5.14
design wind loads on solid free standing walls and solid signs (See Figure 6).
Gable end (triangle) of the gable roof loaded in the North-South direction is assumed to be
loaded in a similar manner as a free standing sign in accordance with ASCE 7-05 section
6.5.14 design wind loads on solid free standing walls and solid signs. Note that in both the
eave and gable end wind forces, windward and leeward pressures are applied to each side
of the structure as the plan dimensions of the structure (See Figure 7) are too large to
develop any shielding effect.
Wind loads on the rigged trusses, light fixtures and other smaller overhead entertainment
equipment are not included in analysis as part of the TT wind loads. Note that the loads on
the scrim curtain are calculated but are not added as part of the total drag in the forensic
wind load cases calculated by TT as the range in potential wind forces on the scrim were
large. The total scrim curtain and LED screen loads added to the final forensic wind loads
cases on the ISF Structure were derived from the RWDI wind tunnel rest results described in
the RWDI report.
The fundamental period of vibration for the structure, based on TTs SAP model is 1.5
seconds when the structure is fully loaded (Note: the gust factors for flexible structures are
dependent on the natural frequency, and therefore also the mass of the structure.)
Therefore, the fully-loaded structure falls into ASCE 7s definition of a flexible structure, and
the gust effect factors, G, are calculated in accordance with ASCE 7-05 Section 6.5.8.2, and
range between 0.90 and 1.04 depending on the direction of the wind and wind speed. The
damping ratio is assumed to be 1% due to the friction and column bending inducing
connections between the columns and the main truss.

Given the open field and race track to the north, east, and west and the small scattered
obstructions beyond, the exposure category is C in accordance with ASCE 7-05 section
6.5.6.3. Please refer to the site description section of this report for detailed site specifics
and exposures. Based on the exposure category and the height of the ISF Structure the
velocity pressure exposure coefficient, Kh, is 1.09 in accordance with ASCE 7-05 section
6.5.6.6 and Table 6-3. In accordance with ASCE 7-05 section 6.5.7.2, the topographical
factor, Kzt, is 1.0.
The wind directionality factor, Kd, and the importance factor, I, are applied to design wind
load cases only. The Kd factor, according to ASCE 7-05 Table 6-4, is 0.85. Assuming
Occupancy Category III as per Table 1-1 of ASCE 7-05 and Section Exposure C section
6.5.6.6 and Table 6-3, the importance factor is taken as 1.15.
Wind loads are applied in 4 orthogonal directions and 1 skewed/ angular wind load case
from the North West Direction at a 315 degree wind load direction (See Figure 1).

Figure 1. Wind Analysis Directions

These wind load calculations do not change when the latest version of ASCE 7, ASCE 7-10,
is used instead of ASCE 7-05 when the importance factor is not considered (See the ASCE
7-05 to ASCE 7-10 comparison in this Appendix).

Forensic Wind Loads


1.2.1

ASCE 7-05 Forensic Loads V=52 mph


Based on the RWDI research and analysis, the highest reported wind speed was 52
mph at the time of the collapse. TT calculated wind forces in accordance with the ASCE
7-05 analytical method using this wind speed and considering the factors appropriate for
a forensic investigation as opposed to a design case. These factors are described
below:
Wind Directionality Factor, Kd: Per video reviewed and information provided by RWDI
the wind flow during the collapse was a west to east direction, with some minor north to
south wind flow. Note that the exact angle to which the wind direction came from is not
known but it is known that west to east was the predominant wind direction. As
mentioned in the ASCE 7-05 section C6.5.4.4 this factor accounts for two effects: (1)
The reduced probability of maximum winds coming from any given direction and (2) the
reduced probability of the maximum pressure coefficient occurring for any given wind
direction. Therefore, since this is a forensic wind load case, and the analysis considers
the actualized wind speed and direction, this reduction factor does not apply.
Importance Factor, I: This factor is not applied to the forensic case as this factor is only
applied during design cases to adjust the reliability of the structure relative to building
use classification. Note that specific design importance factors are specified in ASCE 705 Table 6-1. For the forensic wind load case the importance factor is not applied.
Gust Effect Factor, G: The ISF Structure, loaded as it was at the time of the collapse,
had a period of 1.5 seconds, which classifies it as a flexible structure according to
ASCE 7-05. Therefore, the gust effect factor is increased to 0.93 in the north-south

direction and 0.92 in the east-west direction from the 0.85 factor used for rigid
structures.
The forces calculated were applied in all orthogonal directions and one diagonal wind
load from the northwest direction. TT calculated wind loads using ASCE 7-05 for the ISF
Structures roof and columns. TT did not calculate the scrim curtain loads using ASCE
7-05 and instead relied upon data from RWDI.
RWDI performed a wind tunnel test on a scaled rigid model of the ISF structure with and
without the suspended production equipment to ascertain the total wind force on the
structure incurred from their established time-of-collapse wind speed. It is RWDIs
opinion that this type of downburst which occurred at the time of the collapse produces
wind contours more similar to that found with an Exposure Category D than the
Exposure Category C specified by ASCE 7-05 for the sites surface roughness.
Therefore, RWDI performed the test with Exposure Category D conditions. When
compared with TTs calculated ASCE 7-05 wind loads for a rigid structure assumption
(G=0.85), RWDIs results for the model without the suspended production equipment
differ by 2.5% from ASCE 7-05 loads in the west to east direction for case B and 13%
for case A, and RWDIs values differ by 17% from ASCE 7-05 wind loads for both cases
in the south to north direction. This larger difference in the north to south direction can
be attributed to the fact that RWDI included the suspended production equipment in their
model while TT considered only the aluminum structure, the fabric roof and the gable
end.
TTs rigid structure wind loads (G = 0.85) were scaled to match the wind tunnel test
results for the final forensic wind load cases. The total scaled drag loading the ISF
Structure is the following:

April 3, 2012
TT Project No. C11137.00

Scrim curtain loads were derived from wind tunnel test results provided by RWDI (Refer
the RWDI Report in the Analysis Appendix). Based on the wind tunnel test results the
scrim curtain loads for a wind speeds of 52 mph are the following:

West to east a total of 5300 lbs of drag


East to West a total of 5300 lbs of drag (assumed equal to west to east
direction)
North to South a total of 14200 lbs of drag
South to North a total of 14200 lbs of drag (assumed equal to north to south
direction)
North West direction drag receives contribution from both orthogonal wind directions. A
total of 4300lbs from the west to east direction and 6200 lbs of drag from the north to
south direction. Therefore, making the resultant North West drag force equal to 7500
lbs.
The above rigid ISF structure and scrim curtain loads must be amplified by 1.08 for the
west to east direction and 1.09 for the north to south direction to account for the
increase in the gust effect factor for a flexible structure from the rigid value of 0.85.
1.2.2

ASCE 7-05 Forensic Loads V=59 mph


RWDI determined using the Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program (WAsP), that
the local wind speeds at the time of the collapse may have been as high as 59 mph at
the site. TT calculated wind forces in accordance with the ASCE 7-05 analytical method
for the time-of-collapse wind speed of 59 mph considering the factors appropriate for a
forensic investigation as opposed to a design case. These factors are the same as the
above section for 52 mph wind speeds with the exception of the gust effect factor, which
changes slightly. Note that these wind loads are only calculated to facilitate answers in
regards to the resistance of the lateral wind force resisting system of the ISF Structure if
anchor points to guy wire system were to be considered immovable.
Gust Effect Factor, G: The ISF Structure, loaded as it was at the time of the collapse,
had a period of 1.5 seconds, which classifies it as a flexible structure according to
ASCE 7-05. Therefore, the gust effect factor is increased to 0.95 in the north-south
direction and 0.93 in the east-west direction from the 0.85 factor used for rigid
structures.
TTs scaled 52 mph wind loads (see Table 1 above) were amplified for the increase in
2
wind speed by a factor of 1.29 [(59mph/52mph) ]. The total scaled drag loading the ISF
structure is the following:

August 8 and August 9, 2011 Wind Loads V=40mph (Using ASCE 7-05)
TT calculated wind forces in accordance with the ASCE 7-05 analytical method for the
maximum wind speeds that occurred during days subsequent to the erection of the ISF
Structure but prior to the collapse. It was reported to TT that high winds damaged the
roof tarp causing the center closure strip to be disengaged from the adjoining two tarp
segments (the west, east panels). Climatic data research resulted in a reported wind
speeds between 40 mph and 60 mph with a wind direction from west north west. TT
analyzed this wind load case similarly as a forensic wind load case, considering the
factors appropriate for a forensic investigation as opposed to a design case. These
factors are described below:

INDIANA STATE FAIR COMMISSION


Report on August 13, 2011 Collapse Incident

Appendix D.6
Page 6 of 71

April 3, 2012
TT Project No. C11137.00

Wind Directionality Factor, Kd and Importance Factor, I: Similarly to the 52 and 59 wind
load case these factors are not applied.
Gust Effect Factor, G: Due to the reduced amount of suspended production equipment
(i.e. minimal lighting and no scrim curtain or LED screen), the ISF Structure had a
smaller mass during the aforementioned date than during the August 13 collapse. Based
on TTs analyses of the approximate mass loads on this date, it is TTs opinion that the
fundamental period of the structure was approximately 1.2 seconds. Therefore, the gust
factors in the west to east to direction and the north to south direction are 0.88 and 0.89
respectively. The flexural amplification factors are 1.04 and 1.05 for the west to east and
north to south respectively.
TTs scaled 52 mph wind loads (see Table 1) were reduced for the decrease in wind
2
speed by a factor of 0.57 [(40mph/52mph) ]. The total scaled drag loading the ISF
structure is the following:

Neglecting temporary structure provisions, in accordance with ASCE 7-05 the design
wind speeds for the ISF Structure should be 90 miles per hour (mph). A wind
directionality factor of 0.85, an importance factor of 1.15, and gust effect factors of 1.02
for the west to east direction and 1.04 for the north to south direction are considered.

Based on the assumptions made above, TT calculated wind forces in accordance with

load case, the loads on the scrim are based on the wind tunnel testing. The loads from
the wind tunnel however are amplified for the increase in wind speed by a factor of 3.00

[(90mph/52mph) ]. Based on the wind tunnel test results the scrim curtain loads for a

Rafter Loads (See Figure 4, 10, 11 and Table 11):

Load on rafters on the windward side are applied directly from the transfer of the pressure
from the roof tarp to the rafter

Loads on the leeward side are applied to the effective area of the rafter only, loads from the
tarp are transferred to the ridge and eave (See Figure 3)

Figure 4. Rafter Lattice Loads

Column Loads:
Wind loads on columns are applied in an increasing manner from the bottom to the top at
approximately 10-0 intervals (See Table 12 and Figure 10 and 11).
Effective area:
Effective area includes front face 2 diameter pipes plus the web members in the windward face
and only the web members in the back face (See Figure 5).

TT has not loaded the purlins with additional uplift, as we assume that the obstructions
(lights and light rigged trusses will shelter these members from taking significant up-lift.

Note that the purlins and the interior main trusses will not experience any drag as they are
sheltered by the roof tarp the lights and light rigged trusses.

Please refer to the structure description section to for superstructure nomenclature.

The eave trusses are loaded assuming the eave is a solid free standing sign as shown in

RWDI TUNNEL TEST DATA


RWDI performed a wind tunnel test that provided base reactions for multiple wind directions
between west to east (260 degree) direction and north to south (360 degree). The scale physical
model of the ISF Structure was generated with the use of TTs SAP and Rhinoceros
computational models (Figure 11). TTs SAP analysis model was generated based on field
collected data. The SAP model was then imported into graphics based platform software
Rhinoceros to allow RWDI to utilize a 3D printer to generate the sections of the modeled ISF
Structure. Although the lattice frame work of the ISF Structure was modeled with very specific
details and the material is uniform, the overall rigidity of the structure was not modeled into the
ISF Structure scaled replica, and therefore dynamic behaviors were not tested. The overall wind
loads the model was tested with mean loads based on 3 second gust wind speeds at 330 as
reported in RWDIs meteorological report contained in this Appendix.
Significant objects in the surrounding near field environment were modeled to capture any
external wind effects attributed by the surrounding environment (See RWDIs report for results).
These objects included the trailers to the north of the ISF structure and other tents constructed
within foot print of the ISF Structure; please see the site description section for further details.
RWDIs configurations were generated to determine the effect of the scrim curtain on the ISF
Structure. Based on the wind tunnel test results it was determined that the scrim curtain and
LED screen contributed to a significant percentage of the ISF structures total drag forces as
indicated in the wind analysis section of this report.

6.5.12.4.2 Buildings with h > 60 ft (18.3 m). Design wind


pressures on components and cladding for all buildings with h >
60 ft (18.3 m) shall be determined from the following equation:
where
q = q, for windward walls calculated at height z above the
ground
q = qj, for leeward walls, side walls, and roofs, evaluated
at height h
q, = qj, for windward walls, side walls, leeward walls, and
roofs of enclosed buildings and for negative internal
pressure evaluation in partially enclosed buildings
q, = q, for positive internal pressure evaluation in partially
enclosed buildings where height z is defined as the level
of the highest opening in the building that could affect
the positive internal pressure. For buildings sited in
wind-borne debris regions, glazing that is not impact
resistant or protected with an impact-resistant covering, shall be treated as an opening in accordance with
Section 6.5.9.3. For positive internal pressure evaluation, q, may conservatively be evaluated at height h
(q, = YI,)
(GCp) = external pressure coefficient from Fig. 6-17
(GC,,,) = internal pressure coefficient given in Fig. 6-5.
q and q; shall be evaluated using exposure defined in Section
6.5.6.3.

6.5.12.4.3 Alternative Design Wind Pressures for Components and Cladding in Buildings with 60 ft (18.3 m) < h <
90 ft (27.4 m). Alternative to the requirements of Section
6.5.12.4.2, the design of components and cladding for buildings
with a mean roof height greater than 60 ft (18.3 m) and less than
90 ft (27.4 m) values from Figs. 6- 11 through 6- 17 shall be used
only if the height to width ratio is one or less (except as permitted
by Note 6 of Fig. 6-17) and Eq. 6-22 is used.
6.5.12.4.4 Parapets. The design wind pressure on the components and cladding elements of parapets shall be designed by the
following equation:
where
qp = velocity pressure evaluated at the top of the parapet
GCp = external pressure coefficient from Figs. 6-1 1 through
6-17
GCp; = internal pressure coefficient from Fig. 6-5, based on the
porosity of the parapet envelope
Two load cases shall be considered. Load Case A shall consist
of applying the applicable positive wall pressure from Fig. 6-1 1A
or Fig. 6-17 to the front surface of the parapet while applying the
applicable negative edge or corner zone roof pressure from Figs.
6- 11 through 6- 17 to the back surface. Load Case B shall consist
of applying the applicable positive wall pressure from Fig. 6-1 1A
or Fig. 6-17 to the back of the parapet surface, and applying the
applicable negative wall pressure from Fig. 6-1 l A or Fig. 6-17
to the front surface. Edge and corner zones shall be arranged
as shown in Figs. 6-1 1 through 6-17. GCp shall be determined
for appropriate roof angle and effective wind area from Figs. 6-1 1
through 6- 17. If internal pressure is present, both load cases should
be evaluated under positive and negative internal pressure.

Monoslope, Pitched, or Troughed Roofs.
6.5.13.1 General.
Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures

6.5.13.1.1 Sign Convention. Plus and minus signs signify


pressure acting toward and away from the top surface of the roof,
respectively.
6.5.13.1.2 Critical Load Condition. Net pressure coefficients C N include contributions from top and bottom surfaces.
All load cases shown for each roof angle shall be investigated.
6.5.13.2 Main Wind-Force Resisting Systems. The net design
pressure for the MWFRSs of monoslope, pitched, or troughed
roofs shall be determined by the following equation:

where
qj, = velocity pressure evaluated at mean roof height h using the
exposure as defined in Section 6.5.6.3 that results in the
highest wind loads for any wind direction at the site
G = gust effect factor from Section 6.5.8
C N = n e t pressure coefficient determined from Figs. 6-18A
through 6-18D
For free roofs with an angle of plane of roof from horizontal
0 less than or equal to 5' and containing fascia panels, the fascia
panel shall be considered an inverted parapet. The contribution
of loads on the fascia to the MWFRS loads shall be determined
using Section 6.5.12.2.4 with qp equal to qj,.

6.5.13.3 Component and Cladding Elements. The net design


wind pressure for component and cladding elements of monoslope, pitched, and troughed roofs shall be determined by the
following equation:

where
qj, = velocity pressure evaluated at mean roof height h using the
exposure as defined in Section 6.5.6.3 that results in the
highest wind loads for any wind direction at the site
G = gust-effect factor from Section 6.5.8
C N = n e t pressure coefficient determined from Figs. 6-19A
through 6-19C

6.5.14 Design Wind Loads on Solid Freestanding Walls and


Solid Signs. The design wind force for solid freestanding walls
and solid signs shall be determined by the following formula:

where
qj, = the velocity pressure evaluated at height h (defined in
Fig. 6-20) using exposure defined in Section 6.5.6.4.1
G = gust-effect factor from Section 6.5.8
C = net force coefficient from Fig. 6-20
A, = the gross area of the solid freestanding wall or solid sign,
in ft2 (m2)

6.5.15 Design Wind Loads on Other Structures. The design


wind force for other structures shall be determined by the following equation:

where
q, = velocity pressure evaluated at height z of the centroid of
area A using exposure defined in Section 6.5.6.3
G = gust-effect factor from Section 6.5.8
C j = force coefficients from Figs. 6-21 through 6-23
A = projected areanormal to the wind except where C is specified for the actual surface area, ft2 (m2)

pressure determination." The positive internal pressure is dictated


by the positive exterior pressure on the windward face at the point
where there is an opening. The positive exterior pressure at the
opening is governed by the value of q at the level of the opening,
not qj,. Therefore the old provision that used qj, as the velocity
pressure is not in accord with the physics of the situation. For low
buildings this does not make much difference, but for the example
of a 300 ft tall building in Exposure B with a highest opening at
60 ft, the difference between q300and q60 represents a 59 percent
increase in internal pressure. This is unrealistic and represents
an unnecessary degree of conservatism. Accordingly, q; = qr for
positive internal pressure evaluation in partially enclosed buildings where height z is defined as the level of the highest opening
in the building that could affect the positive internal pressure. For
buildings sited in wind-borne debris regions, glazing that is not
impact resistant or protected with an impact-resistant covering,
q, should be treated as an opening. For positive internal pressure evaluation, q, may conservatively be evaluated at height h
(q, = Y I ~ .

C6.5.12.3 Design Wind Load Cases. Recent wind tunnel research [Refs. C6-7 1, C6-72, C6- 125, C6- 1261 has shown that torsional load requirements of Fig. 6-9 in ASCE 7-98 often grossly
underestimate the true torsion on a building under wind, including those that are symmetric in geometric form and stiffness. This
torsion is caused by nonuniform pressure on the different faces
of the building from wind flow around the building, interference
effects of nearby buildings and terrain, and by dynamic effects
on more flexible buildings. The revision to Load Cases 2 and 4
in Fig. 6-9 increases the torsional loading to 15 percent eccentricity under 75 percent of the maximum wind shear for Load
Case 2 (from the ASCE 7-98 value of 3.625 percent eccentricity
at 87.5 percent of maximum shear). Although this is more in line
with wind tunnel experience on square and rectangular buildings
with aspect ratios up to about 2.5, it may not cover all cases, even
for symmetric and common building shapes where larger torsions
have been observed. For example, wind tunnel studies often show
an eccentricity of 5 percent or more under full (not reduced) base
shear. The designer may wish to apply this level of eccentricity at
full wind loading for certain more critical buildings even though
it is not required by the standard. The present more moderate torsional load requirements can in part be justified by the fact that
the design wind forces tend to be upper-bound for most common
building shapes.
In buildings with some structural systems, more severe loading can occur when the resultant wind load acts diagonally to the
building. To account for this effect and the fact that many buildings exhibit maximum response in the across-wind direction (the
standard currently has no analytical procedure for this case), a
structure should be capable of resisting 75 percent of the design
wind load applied simultaneously along each principal axis as
required by Case 3 in Fig. 6-9.
For flexible buildings, dynamic effects can increase torsional
loading. Additional torsional loading can occur because of eccentricity between the elastic shear center and the center of mass at
each level of the structure. The new Eq. 6-21 accounts for this
effect.
It is important to note that significant torsion can occur on lowrise buildings also [Ref. C6-721 and, therefore, the wind loading
requirements of Section 6.5.12.3 are now applicable to buildings
of all heights.
As discussed in Section 6.6, the wind tunnel Method 3 should
always be considered for buildings withunusual shapes, rectangular buildings with larger aspect ratios, and dynamically sensitive

buildings. The effects of torsion can more accurately be determined for these cases and for the more normal building shapes
using the wind tunnel procedure.

C6.5.13 Design Wind Loads on Open Buildings with Monoslope, Pitched, or Troughed Roofs. New Figs. 6-18 and 6-19
are presented for wind loads on MWFRSs and components and
cladding of open buildings with roofs as shown, respectively. This
work is based on the Australian Standard AS 1170.2-2000, Part 2:
Wind Actions, with modifications to the MWFRS pressure coefficients based on recent studies [C6-127 and C6- 1281.
The roof wind loading on open building roofs is highly dependent upon whether goods or materials are stored under the
roof and restrict the wind flow. Restricting the flow can introduce substantial upward-acting pressures on the bottom surface
of the roof, thus increasing the resultant uplift load on the roof.
Figs. 6- 18 and 6-19 offer the designer two options. Option 1 (clear
wind flow) implies little (less than 50 percent) or no portion of
the cross-section below the roof is blocked. Option 2 (obstructed
wind flow) implies that a significant portion (more than 75 percent is typically referenced in the literature) of the cross-section
is blocked by goods or materials below the roof. Clearly, values
would change from one set of coefficients to the other following
some sort of smooth, but as yet unknown relationship. In developing the provisions included in this standard, the 50 percent
blockage value was selected for Option 1, with the expectation
that it represents a somewhat conservative transition. If the designer is not clear about usage of the space below the roof or if
the usage could change to restrict free air flow, then design loads
for both options should be used.
In determining loads on component and cladding elements for
open building roofs using Fig. 6-19, it is important for the designer to note that the net pressure coefficient C N is based on
contributions from the top and bottom surfaces of the roof. This
implies that the element receives load from both surfaces. Such
would not be the case if the surface below the roof was separated
structurally from the top roof surface. In this case, the pressure
coefficient should be seuarated for the effect of tou and bottom
pressures, or conservatively, each surface could be designed using
the C N value from Fig. 6-19.

C6.6 METHOD 3-WIND-TUNNEL

PROCEDURE

Wind tunnel testing is specified when a structure contains any of


the characteristics defined in Section 6.5.2 or when the designer
wishes to more accurately determine the wind loads. For some
building shapes wind tunnel testing can reduce the conservatism
due to enveloping of wind loads inherent in Methods 1 and 2. Also,
wind tunnel testing accounts for shielding or channeling and can
more accurately determine wind loads for a complex building
shape than Methods 1 and 2. It is the intent of the standard that
any building or other structure be allowed to use the wind tunnel
testing method to determine wind loads. Requirements for proper
testing are given in Section 6.6.2.
Wind tunnel tests are recommended when the building or other
structure under consideration satisfies one or more of the following conditions:
1. Has a shape which differs significantly from a uniform rectangular prism or "box-like" shape.
2. Is flexible with natural frequencies normally below 1 Hz.
3. Is subject to buffeting by the wake of upwind buildings or
other structures.

LATERAL STIFFNESS OF ISF STRUCTURE


The lateral load resisting system consisted of fourteen (14) guy wires that were connected to ten (10)
reinforced concrete jersey barriers.

Figure 1: The lateral system of the ISF Structure consists of guy wires tied back to concrete jersey barriers
as shown here.

The global behavior of the ISF structure can be idealized as two degrees of freedom system where a
number of springs are connected in parallel to the stage, considered as a mass. The stiffness of each
guy wire has been calculated using the displacement method and then has been linearly combined with
the stiffness of the other guy wires that are engaged in the same direction. For this calculation it is
assumed the guy wires have been initially tightening enough to remove any significant sag allowing the
wires to act as axially loaded tension members.

The aluminum components that make up the columns and gable roof trusses have a minor contribution
to the overall stiffness of the structure compared to the guy cables. The attached calculations assume
the columns are moment connected to the roof trusses, the base of the columns are pins, and the
stiffness of the roof level truss are much larger than the stiffness of the column trusses. The total
stiffness of the aluminum frame is 312 lbs/in in each direction, or an order of magnitude less than what
is provided by the guy wires.
Accounting for the stiffness of the frame and guy wires the expected displacement under 59 mph wind
from the north and west are shown in Table 1 below along with a comparison of the value determined by
SAP. The hand calculations predict larger displacements then the SAP model, which can be partially

TT REVIEW OF JAMES THOMAS ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS:


TT reviewed a calculation package prepared by Jesse Mise, P.E. titled Indiana State Fair by Mid
America Sound dated 7/22/2010, 7/23/2010, and 7/24/2010. An annotated copy of these calculations
follows this section.
These calculations are a structural analysis of the ISF Structure that were reportedly prepared for James
Thomas Engineering for the 2010 concert productions at the Indiana State Fair. These calculations
included gravity load and wind load checks for three scheduled shows. Statements made by Mr. Mise to
IOSHA investigators indicate that calculations were not prepared for the 2011 concert
Thornton Tomasettis review focuses primarily on the determination of wind loads and ballast
requirements in terms of code requirements and best practices. The wind analysis calculations and guy
wire load requirements are located on pages 7 through 9, 15, and 16 of the calculation package. TTs
review has identified many inconsistencies, questionable engineering assumptions and unreasonable
operational assumptions.
TT has annotated specific items within this Appendix copy of the Mise calculations that correspond to the
discussion below:
Item 1:
This calculation package was prepared for the 2010 ISF Structure installation and a separate package
for the installation 2011 was not prepared. Of note are several discrepancies and differences between
the two installations. These include: three supplemental columns provided in 2011 compared to five
required in 2010; diameter guy wires specified in the 2010 calculations and the 3/8 diameter wire
ropes provided in 2011; variations in the guy line arrangement specified in 2010 and the arrangement
provided in 2011; additional snap bracing called for in 2010 not installed in 2011; and no mention of the
LED scrim in 2010 that was installed in 2011.
Item 2:
ASCE 37-05 is repeatedly referenced throughout the calculation package however it was not published
or revised in 2005.
Item 3:
The 50% porosity approximation for the column truss towers, although not calculated, is similar to
porosity calculated by TT.
Item 4:
The referenced equation in ASCE 7 section 6.5.13.3 is used for the determination of wind loads applied
to component and cladding elements attached to a structure, not for the calculation of wind loads to be
applied to a structure. Generally these loads are higher than those applied over an entire structure as
they are intended to capture local effects on smaller areas; this methodology could result in overly
conservative results.
Item 5:
The gust effect factor is determined assuming the structure is rigid. As shown in previous analyses,
these structures can behave as flexible structures due to the guy lines, slender elements and large
suspended weight associated them.

Item numbers are hyperlinked


to respective sections in JTE
calculations

Item 6:
A force coefficient (Cf) of 1.3 was calculated based on Figure 6-21 in ASCE 7. This figure is intended to
calculate force coefficients for chimneys, tanks, rooftop equipment and similar structures based on their
aspect ratios (height to diameter/width relationship). These elements are generally solid shapes
mounted on a building or free standing on the ground. It is unclear why this method would be applied to
a clearly open structure. Additionally, the calculation of the aspect ratio (h/D) equal to 2 is incorrect.
Using h equal to 45 and D being the least horizontal dimension of 60 (per measurements in Mises
diagrams), the aspect ratio should be 0.75. Although the calculation is incorrect, the force coefficient
would likely remain 1.3 if this methodology were appropriate for an application such as the ISF Structure.
Item 7:
A net pressure coefficient (CN) of 0.80 appears to have been calculated based on Figure 6-19B in ASCE
7. This figure is intended for determination components and cladding loads for pitched free roofs. It
appears that obstructed flow was assumed based on the value selected from the table. What is even
more unclear is why the corresponding negative net pressure coefficient was not also used, which is
equal to -2.4 and acts upward, or away from the top of the roof surface. Had clear flow been evaluated
the values of CN would have been 1.7 and -1.7 based on the methodology employed.
Item 8:
An importance factor of 1.0 was utilized and would likely be a common assumption among engineers.
Based on TTs evaluation of the building code discussed in Section 5 of this report, a value of 1.15 is
more representative of the intent of the code.
Item 9:
The vertical pressure of 7 psf calculated is based on the net pressure coefficient discussed in Item 7 and
should act toward the top surface of the roof. Assuming the procedure to this point had been correct, a
pressure acting away from the top surface of the roof should also have been calculated based on a net
pressure coefficient of -2.4. Utilizing the same methodology, a pressure of 22 psf would act away from
the roof surface.
Item 10:
Here the base is assumed to be capable of resisting the wind load tributary to the bottom of the column
which is 153 lbs. As long as there is not a net uplift, the magnitude of this load small enough that can
likely be resisted by frictional forces.
Item 11:
The uplift force of 2,811 lbs is calculated here based on the 7 psf pressure discussed in Item 9, which as
previously discussed actually would act downward based on the methodology used. Had the negative
pressure associated with this methodology been used this value would be approximately 8,740 lbs.
Item 12:
Here the total uplift of 4,752 lbs is calculated by adding the effects of overturning due to the horizontal
loading. Carrying through with the prior methodology, this value would be 10,680 lbs.
Item 13:
The net uplift is calculated here by subtracting the self weight of the structure and superimposed dead
loads yielding 3,379 lbs. Again carrying through with the prior methodology this value would be 9,310
lbs. This would be the upward net upward load that would need to be resisted by the guy line system.

Item numbers are hyperlinked


to respective sections in JTE
calculations

Item 14:
The maximum cable load appears to be calculated based on the cable being arranged such that it is
oriented at 45 degrees to the main structural grid lines, and also at 45 degrees with respect to the
ground. It also appears to assume that the restraint requirements in both horizontal directions are equal
to the uplift restraint requirement. The horizontal load restraint in the north-south direction was
calculated equal to 2505 lbs as part of determining the overturning moment. A calculation for in the eastwest direction was not performed. Assuming the methodology used in the calculation is correct, and
using the uplift value from Item 13, the maximum cable load would be 16,123 lbs. This value exceeds
the allowable load for both 3/8 and diameter wire ropes and exceeds the flexural capacity of the tube
members to which the fin plates are attached to.
Item 15:
The guy wire system layout assumes that the stage superstructure can deliver all of the necessary
lateral loads to four points on the structure and there is no mention of, or recommendations regarding
ballast requirements. The layout is also significantly different from the actual 2011 installation.
Item 16:
The note suggesting the superstructure grid be lowered for winds above 50 mph is unrealistic. The
superstructure grid could not be lowered in a timely fashion considering first the suspended production
rigging and other equipment including the LED scrim and LED video wall would need to be lowered and
removed. In addition, the supplemental columns clamped to the bottom of the structure would need to be
disconnected and removed. Next all of the safety straps which support the weight of the roof would need
to be removed in order for the chain hoists to engage the superstructure and lower it. Likewise, removal
of the tarp would be similarly unrealistic to achieve in a timely fashion due to the mechanical connection
of it to the trusses.
Summary:
Thornton Tomasetti has identified three significant shortcomings in the review of the calculation package
prepared for the 2010 installation:

The most significant deficiency is the decision to blindly apply the requirements of the 2010
installation, which were inadequate, to the 2011 installation and the further failure to implement
even the totality of the requirements specified in 2010.

The lack of understanding of the wind load provisions of ASCE 7, the haphazard and incorrect
application of provisions not specific to the structure, and the failure to provide a complete load
path including ballast requirements.

The operational recommendations for handling a high-wind event which could not be
implemented in a time frame consistent with typical weather warning systems.

TITLE

November 4, 2011

Purpose:
Concrete barriers, commonly referred to as Jersey barriers, or K-rails were used as
ballast that served as the ground anchor points for the rigging structure system at the
above referenced property. Therefore, in order to evaluate the lateral stability of roof
structure system, the static friction resistance of the ground anchor points needs to be
determined through testing. The determination of the ultimate static friction resistance
will be based upon the procedures outlined below. The testing procedure will be
performed in situ and result in disturbed ground conditions surrounding the location of
the barriers and may further deteriorate the current condition of the Jersey barriers.
Notification/Evaluation:
All involved parties/stakeholders shall be notified of the testing time and location.
Notifications shall be issued by the regular distribution process posted at:
www.IN.gov/sfc/
Said notifications and evaluation of tests shall be in conformance with ASTM E860 - 07
Standard Practice for Examining And Preparing Items That Are Or May Become
Involved In Criminal or Civil Litigation.
It is anticipated that labor and equipment from F. A. Wilhelm Construction will be
utilized to execute the testing procedure.
Testing Specimen Quantity and Location:
The testing procedure will be performed on the following categories of Jersey barriers:
Displaced: Displaced Jersey barriers serving as ground anchor points that were moved
by the collapsing structure. These Jersey barriers will be moved back to their
approximate pre-collapse location to be tested. Namely JBW2, JBW3, JBNW1, JBNE1.
Non displaced: Jersey barriers serving as ground anchor points that were not
displaced by the collapsing structure and are still in their original pre-collapse location.

The testing procedure will displace these barriers from their undisturbed positions.
Namely JBW1, JBE1, JBE2, JBE3, JBE4.
Ancillary: Jersey barriers not used as ground anchor points. These barriers will be
tested at various locations around the site to serve as a control group.
The location of each barrier shall be documented and photographed before, during and
after each test. The pre-collapse locations of displaced Jersey barriers will be
coordinated by Thornton Tomasetti. Documentation shall include notation that
identifies the location and ID number of each barrier.
Site Access Contact:
Authorized Individuals whom wish to observe the testing process shall request access
through [email protected]
Testing Methodology:
This testing procedure was developed by Thornton Tomasetti based on ASTM G 11504 Standard Guide for Measuring and Reporting Friction Coefficients and is designed to
determine the ultimate static friction capacity of the Jersey barriers with the rigging
components in their respective pre-collapse configuration and geometry. ASTM G 11504 provides guidance for the selection of a method for measuring the frictional
properties of materials, requirements for minimum data, and a suggested format for
presenting the data.
Test Equipment
o Dillon Dynamometer(s)
10,000lb service capacity, stated accuracy 0.1% of service capacity.
5,000lb service capacity, stated accuracy 0.1% of service capacity.
o Lull Forklifts
o Chain hoist winches
o 1/2 inch diameter wire rope and hardware (shackles, U-bolts, etc.)
o Nylon tie-down strap.
Jersey barrier pull tests will be conducted using a nylon tie-down strap
with length similar to that of the original guy system setup to ensure
similar elastic properties in the test apparatus. The name and material
properties of all testing and rigging components will be documented.

Test Procedure
The following procedure for determining the ultimate static friction resistance shall be
performed:
1. Equipment will be setup following Diagram 1, Jersey Barrier Test Configuration
(see attached). A combination of the following cable angle/configurations shall be
implemented:

a. A horizontal force will be applied to the barrier in line with its longitudinal
axis at an angle horizontal to the ground plane.
b. In addition, a force applied at a vertical angle will be evaluated. The vertical
angle (V) of the cable will approximately represent the pre-collapse
configuration.
c. Equipment setup will be duplicated for test cases where the Jersey barrier
was attached by two separate cables to the rigging structure.
Document and photograph Jersey barrier and local ground conditions.
Document temperature and weather conditions
Recording of force/time data will begin.
a. Sampling rate of data will be established in the preliminary test.
Using a mechanical advantage device (chain-hoist winch) apply an increasing force
to the cable until the Jersey barrier is displaced. The applied force (as a measure of
increased load in the dynamometer) will be recorded. The movement of the Jersey
barrier will also be measured and recorded (L3).
a. Preliminary tests will establish which method of applying force is most
suitable.
Recording of force/time data will end.
b. Record data output.
c. Document peak force during test.
Document and photograph any displacement of the Jersey barrier.
Document any noticeable damage and/or wear to the Jersey barriers and ground
conditions.
Attach a 2-point bridle arrangement to opposite ends of the Jersey barrier and lift
the barrier using the forklift. Document the weight of each Jersey barrier using the
Dillon Dynamometer
Document the condition and surface area of the contact surface between Jersey
barrier and ground while barrier is suspended during weight determination noted
above (#9).

The testing procedure will be repeated for each of the displaced and non-displaced
barriers a minimum of five times in accordance with the guidance of ASTM G 115-04. In
the event a barrier experiences deterioration such that its friction capacity is no longer
representative of the pre-collapse condition, an ancillary barrier will be substituted and
testing will continue using the ancillary barrier.
In order to refine the execution of the testing procedure before disturbing the displaced
and non-displaced barriers, preliminary tests will be conducted using ancillary Jersey
barriers.
Amendments to Protocol:

TITLE

Vice President

Purpose:
In order to properly evaluate the conditions and material properties of select structural
components of the above'referenced location, materials testing needs to be performed.
To facilitate laboratory testing, material specimens (coupons) need to be
procured/extracted from the structure at the Indiana State Fair (ISF) that is presently
located in the warehouse. Properties of baseline (control) specimens and distressed
materials shall be evaluated.
The intent of the testing is to establish baseline material properties for use in the
analysis of the structure.
The tests and requirements in this protocol define the requirements for destructive and
non'destructive materials testing of aluminum truss components and their welded
connections. It is understood that other testing protocols (i.e. jersey barrier friction
capacity) exist and have been implemented under a separate protocol.
Notification/Evaluation:
All involved parties/stakeholders shall be notified of the testing time and location.
Notifications shall be issued by the regular distribution process posted at:
www.IN.gov/sfc/
Said notifications and evaluation of tests shall be in conformance with ASTM E860 ' 07
Standard Practice for Examining And Preparing Items That Are Or May Become
Involved In Criminal or Civil Litigation.
Material Specimen Procurement Quantity:
Identification of locations for specimen/coupon extraction will be the responsibility of
Thornton Tomasetti. Specimen location may be modified in the field as conditions
warrant at the sole discretion of Thornton Tomasetti. Location of each specimen shall
be documented and photographed before and after extraction. Documentation shall
include notation on a scaled drawing that identifies the location and ID number (see
below) of each specimen. Note, the size of the sample set is such to establish baseline
and comparison of material properties, not to establish a statistically representative
example of properties.

METALLURGICAL TESTING SUMMARY


th

The samples for metallurgical testing of the ISF Structure components were extracted on January 19 ,
2011. This work was performed at the warehouse where the components from the ISF Structure are
presently stored. Components that were selected for testing consisted of two primary groups:
1. Typical column / column splice consisting of:
2 Tube
1 Tube
1 x 2 rectangular tube
Channel
2. Nodes Gates with the fin plate (to which the guy lines were attached) consisting of:
Fin plate
2 Tube
1 Tube
The samples were selected so as to obtain an accurate representation of the metallurgical properties of
the components being evaluated.
The process consisted of:
1. The samples locations were marked out and then were extracted using powered band and
circular saw and/or angle grinder with a metal cutting blade.
2. The extracted samples were then tagged and annotated utilizing the established tagging
nomenclature.
3. The extracted samples were then transported to Lucius Pitkin, Inc. for metallurgical and physical
evaluation.

Picture 2. Column Splice

The samples group consisted of failed components and representative/control samples. The control
samples allowed us to identify possible deficiencies in the failed components.
COMPOSITIONAL ANALYSIS:
The compositional profile of the base metal and the weld filler metal used in the column splices and fin
plate/ node gate was identified by LPI. For the base metal, Alloy 6061most closely matched the profile of
the column splice (12 samples were tested) and Alloy 6351 (8 samples were tested) most closely
matched the profile of the node gate/fin plate.
For the weld filler metal, Alloy 4043 most closely matched the profile of the column splice (3 samples
were tested) and Alloy 5356 most closely matched the profile of the node gate/fin plate filler material (4
samples were tested).
The material compositions of the various components of the ISF structure are tabulated below:

COLUMN SPLICE CAPACITY:


The capacity of the column splices was evaluated by means of monotonically loading a channel at its two
bolt hole locations so that the total load that was being applied is approximately distributed equally. The
reactions due to the applied loading were maintained by anchoring four 2 tubes. The maximum load that
each column splice sustained before failure is tabulated in Table 1.
Failure Mode:
Upon testing the column splice to failure, the region of the weld between the channel and the 1 x 2
rectangular tube failed as shown in Figure.

EVALUATION OF COLUMN SPLICE CHANNEL-TO-1X2 TUBE WELDS:


Welds were evaluated on an intact column splice specimen identified as MTG.CB4.5. Failure during the
column splice mechanical tests occurred by cracking along the channel-to-1x2 tube welds. The weld
evaluation revealed shrinkage cracks at both the locations. Also, it was noted that the size of the channelto-1x2 tube welds significantly violated good welding practice based on thickness of the joint materials.

Tensile testing
Tensile testing was performed on the fin plate and column splice
materials. Standard round and flat tensile test specimens were machined from
fin plate B4.NORTH and column splice (1x2 tube) MTG.CB4.5, respectively, and
tested in accordance with ASTM E8 and B557, as applicable. Results of tensile
testing are given in Table 5.

Based on chemical composition analyses, the fin plate and column splice
materials met the compositional requirements for aluminum Alloy 6351 and Alloy
6061, respectively, per ASTM B221. The measured tensile properties of the fin
plate and column splice materials also met the mechanical property requirements
for aluminum Alloy 6351-T6 and Alloy 6061-T6, respectively, per ASTM B221.
Mechanical testing
Mechanical tests were performed on submitted intact column splice and
node gate/fin plate samples identified by TT in mechanical testing diagrams
submitted January 27, 2012.
Mechanical testing of three submitted intact column splice samples was
performed by monotonically loading a channel by its two bolt hole locations so
that the total load is distributed approximately equally, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Reaction forces were maintained by anchoring the four two-inch tubes. The
maximum load each column splice sustained before failure is given in Table 6.
Failure of the column splice samples occurred in the region of the weld between
the channel and 1x2 in. tube, as shown in Figs. 3 through 5.

Evaluation of welds
Welds were evaluated on an intact column splice specimen, identified by
TT as MTG.CB4.5. Failure during column splice mechanical tests occurred by
cracking along channel-to-1x2 tube welds. Cross-sectional samples were
prepared from the intact column splice specimen MTG.CB4.5 at the throat of the
short and long welds, as shown in Fig. 10. Samples were polished and suitably
etched to reveal the weld and heat-affected zone regions, as shown in Fig. 11
and 12. Both cross-section locations exhibited shrinkage cracks.
Additionally, the size of the channel-to-1x2 tube welds significantly
violated good welding practice based on the thickness of the joint materials.

The incident occurred on July 17 , 2011 at Ottawa, Ontario. Heavy wind gusts of up to 57.5 mph were
reported. 3 people were hurt with minor injuries. The structure was constructed by Groupe Berger. The
Ontario Ministry of Labor investigated the failure. The structure was attached to a trailer truck weighing
approximately 180,000 pounds. The wind blew the roof of the trailer off but also pushed the base about
five feet on the ground, which destabilized the structure and caused the collapse. The failure was also
attributed to the inability to release the windscreens (which were secured using zip ties) quickly enough,
as the wind speeds built up very fast. The stage was supposed to sustain speeds of 75 mph, but a nearby
weather station recorded speeds of nearly 98 mph.

The following configuration descriptions are based on the information provided by the Indiana State Fair
to Thornton Tomasetti. They do not represent all possible configurations that may have been in use for
the period starting from 2003 to 2011.
ISF STRUCTURE CONFIGURATION YEAR 2011
The 2011 ISF Structure consists of 10 exterior columns and 3 interior columns. The three interior columns
(depicted in black below) are located on gridline 3.5 at gridlines C, D and E. 12 Guy lines attached to 10
jersey barriers (ballast) for lateral support.

STRUCTURE CONFIGURATION YEAR 2010


This structure had 10 exterior columns as were present in the ISF structure configuration. However, there
th
were varying numbers of interior columns utilized. For the Rick Springfield concert on 12 August, 2010,
the structures configuration was the same as that in 2011 except that 2 additional interior columns were
used (along gridline 3, right next to the exterior columns) as shown in configuration 1 (total of 5 interior
th
columns). However, for the Sugarland concert on 20 August, 2010, only 3 interior columns were utilized.
The two on gridline 3 remained; however, two of the three on gridline 3.5 (at gridlines C and E) were
removed as shown in configuration 2. The structure was tied down using guy wires.

VEAM VSC
CONNECTORS

Thomas presents the high quality Veam VSC connectors.


The VSC is a threaded coupling multi-pin cylindrical connector for lighting applications.
The VSC offers machined aluminium shells with a heavy ribbed coupling ring to provide easy
manual coupling and uncoupling. Resilient insulators are crack and chip resistant. Both solder
and crimp removable contacts are available as well as a complete range of assembly tools and
accessories.
Furthermore, all of VSC's component parts are REPLACEABLE. VSC's one piece, light weight
glass-filled valox backshells provide a waterproof seal at the cable entry point. The backshells'
extended length allow adequate working room for crimp contact assembly.
The inline plug threads are teflon coated to make coupling and uncoupling smoother. Finally,
the black hard-anodized finish provides a scratch and wear resistant surface to maintain VSC's
cosmetic modern appearance.
Available from stock in the following configurations.

PRE-RIG TRUSS
ENGINEERING

Pre-Rig truss is 30" x 26" in size. It is manufactured from aluminium tube 6082-T6 with 2" x .125"
wall thickness for main tubes and 1" x .125" wall tube for the diagonals. Each truss piece has 4 castor
wheels for easy maneuverability and bolts for the connection of truss pieces.
Each truss is designed to carry 2 lighting bars complete with lanterns. The lighting bars are stored
internally in the truss and can be lowered to the working position when in use. This design reduces the
amount of space required for lighting and rigging in the truck. Each truss is also designed to carry a
varying amount of lanterns, the 10' section carries 2 bars of 8 lanterns, 7' 7"section carries 2 bars of 6
lanterns, 5' section carries 2 bars of 4 lanterns, and the 3' 9-1/2" section carries 2 bars of 3 lanterns. This
feature enables great flexibility in the truss design.
The Pre-Rig truss accepts a modified lighting bar which have 2 sleeved holes in them. The lighting
bars are located inside the truss by guide rods. In the storage position the bars are securely held in the
truss by shank hooks. The whole system can be used with our Ground Support System by using suitable
sleeve blocks and towers.

SUPER-TRUSS
20.5 x 20.5

ENGINEERING

Thomas has rethought truss design to encompass the changing demands of the touring industry. The supertruss
design features new double end connectors, which are orientated, so that the truss elements are unisex ( they can be
used either way ). Made from 6061T6 or 6082T6 alloy, the truss has 2" x 0.157" main chord tubes and 1" x 0.125"
diagonal tubes.
Supertruss saves truck space because of its very high strength in relation to its size and also the space saving
design of the corners.
The corners are simplicity themselves. As for the 2 way corner, only a connecting gate is required to brace
between the outer fork connectors. The 3 way corner only requires a connecting gate and 2 square connecting
plates. The 4 way corner requires just 2 square connecting plates. In order to use the supertruss with towers, 2
sleeve connecting plates with roller wheels are required with 1 or 2 ladders depending on how many truss
connections their are. 60 degree corners require 2 extended double fork connectors and a connecting gate. Other
angles can be easily made to order. Variable and vertical connecting forks are available for 0 - 90 degree operation.

MOVING
LIGHT
SUPERTRUSS

ENGINEERING

Moving Light supertruss has been designed around the Pre-rigged supertruss size. 96 x 30" x 26" in
size (other sizes are available). Moving light supertruss provides a substantial increase in load bearing
capacity over the flat plate pre-rigged truss. It is manufactured from aluminium tube 6061-T6 or 6082-T6
with 2" x .157" wall thickness for main tubes and 1" x .125" wall tube for the diagonals. Each truss piece
has 8 castor wheels for easy maneuverability and pins and R-clips for the connection of truss pieces.
Each 96 truss is designed to carry 3 moving light fixtures. The moving lights are stored internally in
the truss and can be lowered to the working position when in use. This design reduces the amount of
space required for lighting and rigging in the truck. .
Two handles allow the lowering of each moving light. The following units have been tried in our
moving light trusses:
Highend Studio Color and Studio Spot.
Coemar CF7 wash fixture
Martins line of Mac fixtures; 250, 300, 500, 600, and 2000

Other fixtures may fit within the design of this truss by using a custom fitted plate.

The whole system can be used with our Ground Support System by using suitable sleeve blocks and
towers.
Please note: no fixtures are included with truss.

30" FOLDING
SUPERTRUSS

ENGINEERING

This range of truss has been developed for those applications which require a compact truck pack with
high load bearing capability. All sections fold completely flat and therefore take up the smallest amount of
space possible. Indeed 50' of folding truss requires the same space as 1 x 8' section of Pre-rig Supertruss.
Quick assembly of trusses together by the tried and trusted Supertruss fork connector.
Each truss
is separated at the bottom boom by folding locking elbows and hinged at the top with our custom made
extrusion. It is made from 6061-T6 alloy 2" x 0.157" tubes in the main chords and 1" x 0.125" tubes in the
diagonals

20.5" FOLDING
SUPERTRUSS

ENGINEERING

This Supertruss has been developed for those applications which require a good loadbearing capability and
a compact truck pack . The truss ladders are separated at the bottom by folding locking elbows and are
hinged at the top with our custom made extrusion. All sections fold flat to a width of 5.25" to take up the
smallest amount of space possible. Indeed 40 feet of folding truss requires about the same space as 1 - 10
foot section of 20.5 inch Supertruss.

Supermegatruss
ENGINEERING

Supermegatruss has been developed for those applications which require monumental loadbearing capability.
The truss is manufactured from 6082T6 or 6061T6 tube using 3"diameter main tubes, 1.96" cross boom
tubes and 1.5" diagonals. The end connection is a scaled up version of the Supertruss fork ensuring the easy
and strong connection qualities required. Manoeuvrability is ensured by the standard fitting of castors. This
truss has a maximum clear span capability of 127' (39m) without lateral restraint. If there is lateral restraint
available mid span, then the maximum span can be up to 157' (48m). This truss is an excellent basis for a
"Mothergrid" or a large Roof System.

BABY TOWER 2
ENGINEERING

The Thomas Baby Tower 2 system is a small ground support tower designed to lift loads of up to 2000 lbs. to a
maximum height of 26 feet in a 4 tower configuration, 18 feet in a goal post (2 tower) configuration with the outrigger
section fitted or 14 feet as a single tower with the outrigger arms and section fitted.
The Baby Tower is made up of modular lengths of 4" x .25" wall thickness square tube to provide an adjustable
height to suit your requirements. These simply fit together by sliding the section into the top of the section below it.
The truss rig is adapted to the tower system by means of suitable sleeve blocks for the type of truss being used. The
sleeve blocks are fitted with 4 wheels which allow the truss rig to rise up and down the tower smoothly. The whole
system is very light weight and simple to use and will pack away into a very small space.

The Baby Tower can be used to lift loads by one of the 3 types as following :1) Manual wire rope winch mounted to Base section.
2) Manual Chain hoist mounted to the truss rig.
3) Electric Chain hoist mounted to the truss rig.
Each set of system components is by the following method :1) Which type of lifting method is required ?
2) Do you require a hinge section ?
3) Are you using it as a 3 or more tower system ?
4) Are you using a goal post system ?
5) Are you using just a single tower ?
Recommendations for choosing system components
We recommend the use of a hinge section when a tower is 13 feet high or taller or when there is more than 1 tower.
If using 4 towers in a box configuration, the outrigger section will not be necessary. All systems with 1 or 2 towers
must be used with 4 Outriggers and the Hinge Section fitted to each tower.
If using a chain hoist system you must order the Roller Beam. Manual chain hoists must be custom ordered with the
manual hoist mounting kit for the truss type being used. Electric chain hoists can be used with truss lifting points or
span sets.
If using a wire rope system then you must order the Top Pulley Section. The hand winch with wire rope must be fitted
to the Hand Winch Mounting Bracket which is fitted to the Base section.

12" TOWER
SYSTEM
ENGINEERING

The 12" square ground support tower. A system manufactured with the purpose
of providing a lifting medium for a variety of Thomas trusses ranging from 12" x 12"
through to heavy duty truss.
The towers will provide the necessary equipment to support a truss rig in venues
where the flying points are either not strong enough, or in the right place. Each
tower is capable of lifting 2 ton to a maximum height of 33 feet. The 2 ton weight
must include the self weight of the truss rig and the motors. The truss rig is raised
and lowered by means of electric chain hoists. The motor is rigged in the truss and
works in double fall due to the chain being passed over the roller beam at the top of
the tower. The motor is then connected onto the other side of the sleeve block.
Below, we list a brief description of the parts which make up a 12" ground support
tower.
The base of the tower has 4 screw jack assemblies with 6" diameter foot pads
which are adjustable to enable leveling of the tower. The base also incorporates 4
ball castors which allows the whole rig to be accurately positioned before the tower
is raised. Once the tower system is ready to be raised, all the screw jacks must be
adjusted evenly and must take the load off the ball castors.
The hinge section is designed to allow the towers to be assembled horizontally at
truss top level before being swung and locked in the vertical operating position.
The tower sections are manufactured from aluminum 6082-T6 2" x .157" thick
wall tube with 1" x .125" wall diagonals. The tower sections are connected together
by Camloc quick release bolts. The tower sections are in modular form to allow 30"
adjustments in height up to a maximum of 33 feet. Once the tower height has been
determined, then the roller beam is fitted at the top of the tower.
The roller beam accepts the chain from the chain hoist which is run over the top
of the roller beam and back down to the other side of the sleeve block.
The sleeve block is the interface between the truss rig and the towers. It is
designed to create a semi-rigid joint between the truss grid and the towers by using
16 heavy duty 4" wheels to guide the rig up each tower.
The standard 12" tower kit is made up of the following truss elements:

The ground support tower system can also be specified with lock offs which provide safety
against chain failure. We offer 2 types of lock offs. The first type of lock off is for truss systems
which will always be rigged at the top of the towers. The second type is designed to fit in the

The 15" square ground support tower is a system manufactured for the purpose of
providing a lifting medium for a variety of Thomas trusses from, 20.5" x 20.5", Heavy
duty, Supertruss, and Pre-rig truss through to Roof systems.
The towers will provide the necessary equipment to support a truss rig in venues
where the flying points are either not strong enough, or not in the right place. Each
tower is capable of lifting 4 tons to a maximum height of 40 feet. However, if you use
a CM 1 ton hoist you will only be able to lift 2 tons (ie. block and fall). The 4 ton weight
must include the self weight of the truss rig and the motors. The truss rig is raised
and lowered by means of electric chain hoists. The motor is rigged in the truss and
work in double fall due to the chain being passed over the roller beam at the top of the
tower. The motor is then connected onto the other side of the sleeve block. Below,

15" TOWER
SYSTEM

ENGINEERING

The Tower Lifting System is a device fitted to the sleeve block with 2 diagonal braces which
clamp on to the horizontal truss to enable the tower to be raised or lowered safely using the
chain motor. The chain hoist is rigged in the lifting point and the hoist chain is passed over the
lifting system pulley and then around the Roller Beam and fixed to the top of the hinge section.
The tower is raised by using the chain hoist to pull up on the tower. Caution should be used to
not pull the tower over, when the tower is near vertical.

TRUSS USER INSTRUCTIONS


JAMES THOMAS ENGINEERING, INC.

A. DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR TRUSS


Determine the type of truss required to do the job. Check the load requirements for the job carefully to determine the exact
load on any truss run. Make sure that the truss is capable of lifting the required loads. Refer to the structural engineering report for
loading information.
Make sure you have the loading figures for your truss, which is in the back of the structural report book, if you do not have
the information contact James Thomas Engineering.
Make sure you fully understand the loading figures, if in doubt ask.
When mixing the old flat Camloc plate truss with the newer flanged Camloc plate truss, ensure that loading figures are
taken from the flat Camloc plate truss structural engineering report.
Determine the amount of weight loading on flying points as this will have a bearing on the truss type used. Do not forget to
take the whole weight of the rig including the hoists into consideration, when determining how much weight is to be suspended
from each flying point.
If the truss is being rigged permanently, then we suggest that high tensile M16 nut and bolt sets (or the U. S. equivalent to
these sets) are used to join the truss sections.

B. HANDLING AND TRANSPORTATION


Truss is generally a reliable maintenance free product. When used within its designed loading parameters and handled
with care, truss will have a long operating life.
Do not drop truss as this will cause ends to deform. If dropped the truss will not operate correctly. Each section is designed
to transfer load through the top tubes as well as the Camloc fixings. Therefore it is imperative that the ends are circular,
Do not drag the truss as this will cause the tubes to pit and aluminum to be shaved off.
When possible store truss upright with the female Camlocs facing down (never the male). If truss is to be stored
horizontally it is advisable to stack the truss with pieces of wood in between each section.
When loading or unloading be sure you have enough people to load the truss so that the above doesn't happen.
Additionally there are recommendations for the weights that an individual should carry without harm. Stick to those limits. Do not
drag truss over other trusses as this will cause damage to tubes and diagonals.

C. GENERAL INSPECTION OF TRUSS BEFORE EACH USE


Do not use truss if:
i. Any welds have cracks in them.
ii. Any of the end Camloc plates are bent.
iii. Camloc male studs show visible sign of twist.
iv. Camloc crosspins are bent or missing.
v. Female Camloc receptacles are loose.
vi. Crosspins in new QRB Camlocs are bent or missing
(These are designed to break before bolt is damaged)
vii. High tensile M16 nuts & bolts are worn.
(Every time any nut & bolt is used some thread is lost)
viii. There are any dents in the main tubes and diagonals.
ix. Truss is badly chewed by wing bolts.
(Exercise care when using Hook clamps)

Refer to JTE
Replace as necessary

Refer to JTE
Refer to JTE

D. RIGGING

Assembly of truss should be done by competent personnel


who are familiar with the use and assembly of aluminum truss.
Ensure that one person is responsible for making sure all the
Camlocs, nuts and bolts are tightened correctly. Ensure that this
person is responsible for rigging the span sets and flying points so as
not to put the truss in any danger of being overloaded. One individual
should be overall responsible for the whole rig.
Truss must run with the diagonals visible at the sides. Where
sections are joined the diagonals "must form a continuous pattern"
see figure here.
Note: Diagonals must
form a continuous pattern

Never mix different makes or types of truss.


Truss should be rigged to the underside tubes with suitable spansets that will not damage tubes. Alternatively truss lifting
points can be used to allow safe rigging of truss. See figures below
Lifting point with
hoist hook

Hoist hook and shackle

Note:
The spanset must be next to a
horizontal cross member
which can support the
compression resulting from
the spanset

Spanset wrapped
around all 4 tubes

Lifting point used in box


configuration only

Refer to operating instructions for safe rigging of spansets or lifting points.


Ensure that all the hoists used to lift the rigged truss operate simultaneously before lifting. If they do not the truss must not be
lifted.
When rigging light fixtures to the truss ensure that they are safely supported by using the correct fixing medium. Do not
screw the wing bolts so tight as to damage the tubes. Always undo the wing bolt before adjusting the fixture, then retighten. With
heavier equipment, it would be advisable to use half couplers in place of the hook clamps. Safety chains are recommended.

E. USE OF CAMLOCS
CAMLOC 34F QUARTER TURN
To assemble, Line up truss male end to female receptacle end correctly so that all main truss tubes align, push male
Camlocs into female receptacles. Use a 3/4" spanner to turn the male stud through 90 degrees onto the stop position on the
female receptacle. Turn the adjusting screw with 3/16" hexagonal wrench to give the desired compression. Do not exceed 75 FP
torque.
To disassemble the truss: loosen the camloc adjusting screw, then rotate male camloc through 90 degrees
counter-clockwise. Then pull truss apart.

QRB CAMLOC (QUICK RELEASE BOLT)


To assemble truss with the QRB, use the custom camloc spanner. Line up the truss male end to female receptacle end
correctly so that all main truss tubes align, push male QRB Camlocs into female receptacles. Using the custom Camloc spanner
castleated end turn the QRB through 90 degrees to engage the lugs into the female receptacle. Using the 3/4" end of the spanner
tighten the locking nut until it is a snug fit against the spacing washer
To disassemble, Use 3/4" spanner to slacken off the locking nut, then use the castleated end of spanner to release the
QRB by turning counter-clockwise.

NOTES ON TRUSS INSPECTION

All trusses need to be inspected by a competent Testing House or Persons qualified to inspect truss and
associated parts.
A. Truss must be inspected every year in accordance with ANSI E1.2.
B. Recommended technique for inspection is detailed below and in ANSI E1.2.
C. Should the truss fail any of the requirements in items 1,2 or 3. Then it must be stamped "UNSAFE
DO NOT USE" and taken out of service. If the truss fails on any of the requirements in 4,5 or 6, then the
failing parts must be replaced before it is returned to service.
Truss that has failed can be returned to James Thomas Engineering Ltd. or James Thomas
Engineering, Inc. for inspection and repair if possible.
D. Associated truss parts should also be checked for defects, in line with the criteria shown above.
Attention should also be paid to parts not described above.
E. Structural reports are available from James Thomas Engineering Ltd. They are available for
reference and should be in the users possession. This report shows the maximum loads for given spans
and also indicate the maximum span of the truss being used.

1. CAMLOC PLATES (end plates)


Check all plates for signs of outward bending. Check for Camloc/bolt holes that are distorted. This is
caused by overloading the truss when in operation. The recommended method for checking plates, is to
place the thin edge of a steel rule diagonally across the face of the plates. If any bends are detected in
the plate, do not use the truss.

page 1 of 3

2. WELDING
All welds should be checked visually with the aid of a magnifying glass or with the use of a dye penetrant
to help in the detection of cracks. If any cracks are found in the weld, do not use the truss.

3. TUBES
BENDS There are several points to be visually inspected on both the main and diagonal tubes. First
check all tubes for any signs of bending (please note that during manufacture rippling in the main tubes
will unavoidably occur). If the main or diagonal tubes show any visible evidence of being bent, do not
use the truss.

MISSING DIAGONALS If any Diagonals have been badly damaged or are missing, do not use the truss.

Truss Inspection 2003.lwp
Last Revised November 13, 2002
page 2 of 3

DENTS AND CHEWS Damage is often caused when the truss not stored correctly or other objects
being dropped onto the truss or clamps are overtightened. Visually check all the tubes for dents,
damaged ends, and chew marks. Use the figures below as a guide. If any defects are visible in the
tubes, then the truss should not be used.

GENERAL CONDITION After any truss has been in circulation, it will start to wear. Make a thorough
inspection of all the above and also general condition. The wall thickness and the ends of the tubes will
need special attention. Check for excessive wear in the tube.

Q R B male Camloc

Male Camloc 34F

Female Camloc

4. CAMLOC FASTENERS
MALE STUDS 34F SERIES Check for signs of wear, damage, twist, missing adjustment screws, or
missing cross pins. Replace any missing parts, or replace the fastener if damage is present.
QUICK RELEASE BOLTS Check for signs of wear, damage, twist, or missing pins. Replace any missing
parts, or replace the fastener if damage is present.
FEMALE RECEPTACLE 34F SERIES Check for loose or missing nuts and screws. Re-tighten the nuts
and screws if they are loose or replace them if they are missing. Check for excessive wear at the point
that the Camloc pin rests inside the Receptacle.

5. HIGH TENSILE NUT AND BOLTS


Check for signs of wear, damage, twist and missing nuts and bolts. Regularly check the condition of the
bolt as it will lose an amount of thread every time it is used. Replace any missing parts, or replace the
nut and bolt, if damage is present.

6. TRUSS IDENTIFICATION LABELS


All trusses must have an identification label present in order that you can relate the following: Date of
manufacture, Serial No, Truss type, and specifications. The label must not be removed. This label will
also allow for proper record keeping of annual inspections.

12 and 15 GROUND SUPPORT TOWER - OPERATING


INSTRUCTIONS
For your safety and protection, YOU MUST read these instructions completely before using the
equipment, and keep them for future reference.
Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and instructions when using this equipment. All
personnel using this equipment should be trained for the proper and safe use of this equipment.
SAFETY NOTES
1.

Unless optional outriggers are used the system to be lifted MUST be a four (4) sided box or
rectangle and include four (4) towers, one in each corner.

2.

The total load of each tower, including hoist, must not exceed the figures produced in
Structural Engineers Report.

3.

The ground, floor, or stage on which the towers will stand must be capable of withstanding
the substantial point load imposed by these towers. Please refer to Structural Engineers
Report for the correct figures.

4.

A square of 3/4" (20mm) plywood should be placed under each tower base in order to avoid
damage to the floor surface and to help disperse the load.

5.

The towers must be assembled with the diagonals forming a continuous pattern. The sides
of the tower with the diagonals should be parallel with the longest span of truss (If the rig is 5
section wide and 3 sections deep the diagonals will be on the upstage and downstage faces
of the tower).

6.

Towers must be vertical before any weight is applied, or the strength and stability will be
impaired.

7.

Tower sections must be examined regularly for signs of damage; Please refer to "Notes on
Truss Certification" sheet. Care should be taken when handling tower sections.

8.

The Camlocs, truss pins with clips, or truss bolts must be checked every time the towers are
used.

9.

Once a load has been applied to the tower, the screw jacks should be adjusted to so that
each is carrying an equal load. Use a wrench and adjust by hand until equal pressure is
achieved.
-1 of 8usergst2

10.

When rigging the chain hoist it is essential there are no twists in the chain. The hoist should
be rigged on the downstage or offstage side of the sleeve block (depending on alignment of
the head block) so the moving chain will not rub against the structure.

11.

All hoists must be run simultaneously so the rig always remains level.

12.

Also, the motor must be rigged in such a way as to keep the motor and hook below the top of
the sleeve block or plate. This enables the truss to be raised to the top of the tower, actually
touching the underside of the roller beam and locking the lighting rig rigidly to the tower (be
careful not to trap lighting or motor cables between the two). This does not apply to the
Super-truss sleeve plates where the wheels must not run over the end of the Tower truss.

13.

Once the rig is at show trim a safety should be fitted. A 2000 - 3000 Kg (4000- 6614 LBS)
truck ratchet strap or spanset is suitable (unless fireworks or pyro are used). This must be
fitted tightly around the top of the roller beam and the sleeve block. Any slack could result in
the safety being ineffective; in the event of a chain failure, the block would drop before any
weight would be taken.

14.

Before raising truss the motor on each tower should be "bumped" until the load is evenly
distributed. (Subject to the rig design, number of towers and load distribution)

15.

The stability of the tower is derived from the sleeving action of the sleeve block. Therefore
the base area of the whole structure, not just the tower base, should be evaluated when
determining the height / depth ratio. The tower height should not exceed that stated in the
Structural Engineers Report.

16.

It is recommended to connect the towers together at the base with tube and clamps (2" dia.)
and to form an 'X' brace between the towers using cables tensioned with a rated
come-a-long. This will provide total rigidity of the structure which is particularly important if
any moving objects are flown or spot operators are used on the lighting truss.

17.

When possible, once the rig is at full height additional safety cables should be attached
between the truss and the venue roof to provide a fail safe.

18.

A full understanding of the principals employed in the systems design is necessary before
use. It is important that the weight and distribution of the entire load is known, and that
experienced personnel, who are able to evaluate the circumstances, are used to operate this
equipment.

19.

If the truss is being used outdoors Guy wires must be used; Please refer to "Guy Wire set"
sheet.

GENERAL POINTS
1.

The height of the base, hinge and head block must be added when figuring the total tower
height. The screw jacks in the base can add (4 1/2" (114mm) when they are fully extended.

-2 of 8usergst2

2.

It is recommended that you double check the total height available in each venue as the
information provide could be incorrect and result in wasted time if towers are built the wrong
height.

3.

The recommended kit comprises a multiple of section lengths that cover most of the height
variations likely to be encountered. To alter these lengths without understanding the
principals is inadvisable.
A) The individual lengths are multiples of 30" (76.2 cm) in order to have a X2 capability. Two
of one length will always equal another.
B) This combination allows the hinge to fall just above the sleeve block regardless of stage
height when bases rest on the floor below the stage.
C) The total height of the tower above stage, is limited by the length of chain in your hoist; an
80' (25m) chain enables a 15 X 15 tower of 32.8' (10 metres) above the stage which given a
6.5' (2 metres) high stage accounts for the 40' (12 metres) total kit height. 12 X 12 tower
has a maximum height of 30 (9 metres).

4.

If a single truss with 2 towers ( Goalpost ) is specified, then a minimum of 2 outriggers per
tower must be fitted perpendicular to the truss run.

5.

If a single tower is specified, then 4 outriggers must be attached to the tower.

1.

Place the bases on the stage with the screw jacks completely off the floor. Connect 954mm
hinge section to the top of each of the base. Take care to align the hinge so that it opens
toward the truss.

2.

Lift a sleeve block and slide it down over each hinge section so that the wheels are on the
stage around the base. In the case of Super-truss please refer to the "Super-truss user
instructions".

Figure showing the tower truss assembled


and lying on the Lighting truss ready to be
fitted with the Tower erecting arm and
rigging rope.

3.

Lay out and connect the entire lighting truss to the desired shape incorporating the sleeve
blocks with bases as previously assembled.

4.

Position the rig on the stage and place 3/4" (19mm) plywood under each base.

5.

Assemble remaining tower sections and the roller beams to desired height. Be sure the
diagonals are on the same side and form a continuous pattern.

the tower to the hinge

-4 of 8usergst2

section. Be sure to align the tubes on the tower with the tubes on the hinge and that the
diagonals are all facing the proper direction.
7.

Attach a rigging rope (recommended length 30 meters (100ft) to the head block and run it
over the top of the tower truss as shown in the figure below. If using a Tower Lifting System
refer to instructions and continue with step 13 after securing the Hinge pins, bolts or camlocs.

8.

Check that entire rig is assembled and ALL truss pins with r clips, camlocs, or truss bolts are
secured correctly.

9.

Raise tower by using 4 or 5 of the crew pulling on the rope plus 5 or 6 pushing up on the
tower. Take care not to pull the tower over when it reaches its vertical position.

10.

While continuing to hold tension on the rope insert and lock camloc or truss bolts in the hinge
section.

11.

After the camlocs, pins, or truss bolts are secure one person, equipped with a proper safety
harness, should climb the tower, untie the rope and run it over the roller beam wheels so the
loose end reaches the stage.

12.

Then, attach the hook of the chain hoist chain to the rope and pull the chain up the tower
over the rollers and back down to the sleeve block. (The hoist should be on the onstage or
upstage side of the sleeve block with the hook on the chain on the offstage or downstage
side). The person on top of the tower will need to feed the hook over the rollers (take care
not to get fingers between the chain and rollers) and check to see that there are NO TWISTS
in the chain.

13.

Attach hoist to the bottom tubes of the truss with spansets or truss flying point. In the case of
Super-truss, attach hoist and chain to the lifting points. The chain hook and hoist should be
rigged so they ride below the top of the truss. Be sure the hook of the hoist is carrying the
load and that the hoist housing is not wedged between the gusset plates. Again, check to be
sure there are no twists in chain.

14.

Screw down the jacks on the base until each of the four has an equal load (a torque wrench
is recommended). Check for level in both upstage/downstage and on/off stage directions
using at least an 45 cm level. Do not apply any load to the motor until the jacks have been
screwed down.
Continue to the next tower repeating steps 6 - 14.

15.

After all towers have been erected and levelled, electrical cables should be run for the chain
hoists.

16.

Then 'bump' each motor until there is equal tension on all chains. When all personnel have
been cleared raise the rig to a working height. HOISTS MUST ALWAYS BE RUN
TOGETHER. IF FOR ANY REASON ONE SHOULD STOP THEY SHOULD ALL BE
STOPPED.

-5 of 8usergst2

17.

Finish setting up the rig. Be sure no cables will be pinched between the sleeve block and
roller beam. All cables near the sleeve blocks should be tied to insure they can't become
tangled.

18.

When the rig has been raised to "show trim" a safety MUST be put on each tower. This
should be a spanset running from one side of the sleeve block, over the roller beam to the
opposite side of the sleeve block. This must be fitted tightly around the top of the roller beam
and the sleeve block. Any slack could result in the safety being ineffective.

METHOD B - With base on the floor below stage.


1.

Without removing any panels from the temporary stage, lay out and connect lighting truss to
desired shape incorporating the sleeve blocks as designed.

2.

Roll the rig into its correct position and mark the stage decks to be removed. Now roll the rig
left or right so the decks can be removed.

3.

After the decks have been removed roll the rig back to its correct position with the sleeve
blocks over the holes in the stage.

4.

Place the tower base on the floor under the stage.

5.

Having measured the distance from the house floor to stage, join the appropriate length of
tower to the hinge section so that the hinge will fall a few inches above the height of the
sleeve block. Take care to ensure the hinge opens toward the truss.

6.

With the hinge section on top, insert the pre-assembled tower and hinge section through the
sleeve block and connect it to the base. Be sure the diagonals are properly located and
form a continuous pattern.

7.

Continue assemble as in Method A from Step 5 onwards.

8.

As noted in "Safety Notes" on page 2. If the truss is to be used outdoors then the whole
system must be restrained against wind loading on the truss; Please refer to "Guy Wire set"
sheet.

-6 of 8usergst2

Figure showing a Guy wire set


up on one corner of the Tower
system. This must be used on
all corners, if the Rig is used
outdoors.

DISASSEMBLY
1.

Climb each tower (with proper safety harness) and release the safety lock off.

2.

Ensure all hoists run together and lower the rig to working height.

3.

Raise lamp bars and remove any equipment that will stop the rig from being lowered to the
stage deck. Do not remove motor cables.

4.

When everything and everyone is clear, lower the rig to the deck.

5.

Clear the rig of all other equipment and cables.


DO NOT DISCONNECT ANY CAMLOCS, PINS, OR TRUSS BOLTS, ANYWHERE ON THE
RIG !

6.

Have someone climb (with proper safety harness) each tower and lower chains from towers
using the rigging rope, the person will need to guide and feed hook over the rollers (take care
not to get fingers between the chain and rollers). If using a Tower Lifting System refer to the
instructions for lowering towers.

7.

After the chain has been lowered the rope should be tied to the top of tower and the person
should return to the stage.

8.

With a crew standing ready on the rope and base of the tower remove the truss pins,camlocs
or truss bolts that allow hinge to open.
ONLY DISCONNECT THE HINGE CAMLOCS, PINS, OR TRUSS BOLTS ! !

9.

Carefully lower the tower using the Tower erecting arm (optional).

10.

Disconnect the tower from the hinge section and place on the floor. Continue to the next
tower repeating steps 6 - 10 until all towers have been lowered.
ALL Towers MUST be lowered before any truss is disassembled.

11.

After all towers have been lowered disassemble the towers and rig. Put the hoists in their
cases. Spansets and shackles can also be stored in the case.

corrected for efficient power distribution and
reliability.
The VL3500 Wash is similar in size to our other
Series 3000 luminaires, which provides
a consistent hang configuration and
appearance no matter which luminaire
type is utilized.

Six color control wheels total. A three filter CYM cross fading system, two fixed color wheels
with five interchangeable color filters each capable of continuous wheel rotation for
additional effects, and a variable CTO color temperature correction wheel.
A zoomable beam spreader mechanism provides continuous beam size control for rapid or
smooth timed changes. The VARIBRITE mode, accessible from all zoom positions, splits
the beam spreader and produces a tight, intense column of light. Easily interchangeable
glass panels (included) allow user to choose either Fresnel or Buxom spreader patterns.
Beam may also be controlled through the use of one of three easily interchangeable front
lenses: Plano Convex-Clear, Plano Convex-Stipple, and Fresnel all three included. All front

Specifications
The unit is an integrally designed, remote-controlled, motorized spot luminaire.
The head, yoke and enclosure housings are constructed of aluminum alloy for
light weight, strength and durability. Low-noise fans provide forced-air cooling for
internal components. The rear cap is hinged, providing easy access to the lamp
for replacement.
A single AC input cable along with two, five-pin DMX512 compatible connectors
(in and through) are provided. The unit can be controlled from a wide variety of
DMX512 consoles.
Each unit is equipped with an on-board processor providing diagnostic and
self-calibration functions as well as internal test routines and software update
capabilities.
The unit contains two independent three-phase stepper motors to provide
movement of the head through 540 in the horizontal plane (pan) and 270 in the
vertical plane (tilt). The pan and tilt mechanisms are belt-driven, providing
positional resolution and repeatability of 0.3 on either axis.
A 6:1 zoom optics system adjusts the projected field angle over a range of 10 to
60. Variable beam focus is provided to soften the edges of gobos or spots and to
provide gobo morphing. The projected image remains in focus throughout the
entire zoom range.
The unit contains a CYM color mixing system, as well as variable CTO color
temperature correction.

Photometric Data*

One continuously spinning, removable color filter wheel is included. The color
wheel holds six interchangeable dichroic colors to allow for custom
configurations. The unit comes equipped with a standard palette of dichroic color
filters. (Custom colors are available from Vari-Lite.)

VL3000 Spot Luminaire - 1200W Metal Halide

Three gobo/effects wheels two six-position, one five-position each containing


individually rotating, indexable gobos and patterned glass effects. The rotating
gobos are easily interchangeable to allow customization of the unit. The unit
comes equipped with a standard set of gobos and effects. (A wide selection of
colored and patterned gobos and effects is available from Vari-Lite.)
A mechanical iris provides continuous beam size control for rapid and smooth
timed beam angle changes.
The unit contains a patterned glass dimmer wheel that provides full field dimming
and allows for smooth timed fades and fast blackouts.

Description

Stagebar 54 is a bright, high efficiency LED pixel bar with RGB color mixing
plus amber and true white for a broader color spectrum and greater
range of pastel shades than other LED lights in its class. Light output is
constant, regardless of ambient temperatures, and different lens angles
give greater flexibility of application. Stagebar 54 also features high speed
video capability and HSI (Hue, Saturation, Intensity) control. Installation,
connectivity and serviceability are all made easy and regulated fan speed
ensures outstanding heat management. Industry standard DMX 512-A
controllable, Stagebar 54 is lightweight yet built to withstand the rigors of
the touring market. It comes in a small or large version.

V-DOSC

L-ACOUSTICS V-DOSC is the first


full frequency line source array based on
the principles of Wavefront Sculpture
Technology (WST). At the heart of
V-DOSC is the internationally patented
DOSC waveguide which permits fulfilment
of WST criteria at high frequencies, allowing
elements to couple coherently and create a
single, continuous, isophasic sound source.
As a result, V-DOSC is a full-spectrum
coherent system, whereas conventional horn
and driver assemblies interfere throughout
most of their operating bandwidth. By creating
a continuous radiating ribbon, V-DOSC
functions as a line source array in comparison
with other line arrays that do not satisfy WST
criteria at high frequencies.
A turnkey V-DOSC system consists of
V-DOSC elements, dedicated rigging, SB218
subwoofers, dV-DOSC fill enclosures,
digital signal processors with proprietary
OEM factory presets, V-DOSC amplifier
racks and associated loudspeaker plus signal
distribution cabling. A proprietary return
snake system including panels and multicore
is also available.
The 90 degree horizontal coverage
and coplanar symmetry of V-DOSC provides
excellent stereo imaging in left-right configurations while WST flexibility allows the designer
to cover virtually any room geometry.
Well-defined vertical and horizontal directivity
allows accurate performance prediction
with easy-to-use software tools and by using
calibrated angle values, a V-DOSC array is
physically configured as a variable curvature
line source array to match vertical directivity
to the audience. The end result is predictable
coverage, exceptionally even frequency
response and SPL along with the elimination
of comb filtering, phasing and lobing problems
associated with conventional arrays.
The unique attenuation properties of
V-DOSC (3 dB reduction in SPL with
doubling of distance) are obtained through
cylindrical wave generation plus proper
focus of the system. Nearfield extension
is an associated benefit that helps maintain
tonal balance with distance while extending
the critical distance in a given venue. This
provides improved fidelity and excellent
intelligibility even under highly reverberant
acoustic conditions.
As a full range 3-way system, V-DOSC can
be used in corporate, classical or theatrical
productions without subwoofers. For
touring applications, the addition of SB218
subwoofers is recommended and V-DOSC
is highly suited for sound reinforcement in
theatre, arena, stadium or outdoor festival
applications.
V-DOSC has revolutionized the loudspeaker
industry by providing the sound
engineer with an effective and versatile sound
reinforcement tool. All elements of the
V-DOSC system have been selected for their
quality and durability and there is a strong
emphasis placed on complementary technical
support and training.

SB218
The L-ACOUSTICS SB218 is
the companion subwoofer for
V-DOSC or ARCS and
features two, front-loaded
18-inch transducers loaded
in an optimally-sized and tuned
vented enclosure. With power
handling capacity of 1100 Wrms
(4400 Wpeak) and response to
25 Hz, the SB218 is ideal for
applications requiring maximum
low frequency extension and
impact.
The SB218 provides unparalleled low end punch and bass
articulation combined with high
power handling and efficiency.
Due to its compact design and
critically damped tuning, multiple
SB218 enclosures couple
effectively while providing the
bass definition and musicality
that only a front loaded subwoofer
can provide.
Due to its 200 Hz bandwidth
capability and complementary
phase characteristics, optimum
coupling and maximum low end
efficiency are obtained when the
SB218 is used with V-DOSC.
The SB218 is unique in that it
can be flown in column arrays
up to 8 enclosures deep.When
flown, low frequency directivity
control is provided and
optimum low frequency
summation is obtained when the
SB218 array is closely coupled
physically to the V-DOSC array.
Ruggedly constructed of 24 mm
baltic birch and internally
braced with steel corner plates,
the SB218 remains free of
vibration at extreme sound
pressure levels. The compact
front dimensions of the SB218
are convenient for use under
stages or along stage fronts in
either vertical or horizontal
(single or double row)
orientations. With advanced
electronic arc processing,
directivity control is obtained
when the SB218 is used in
ground-stacked horizontal line
array configurations.

dV-DOSC

Compact WST Enclosure

Description
The dV-DOSC Line Source element has an operating frequency bandwidth
from 65 Hz to 20 kHz and this response can be lowered down to 35 Hz with
the addition of the dV-SUB low frequency extension cabinet.
The dV-DOSC system is a 2-way, bi-amplified design and is equipped with
2 x 8 speakers in a bass-reflex tuned enclosure. The HF section features a
3 diaphragm driver coupled to a DOSC waveguide. The V-shaped coplanar
transducer configuration generates a symmetric horizontal coverage of 120
without secondary lobes over the entire frequency range.
The combination of coplanar symmetry and DOSC waveguide in the HF
region allows the system to fulfil the 5 WST criteria, thereby allowing the
wavefront of a dV-DOSC line source to be curved up to a maximum of 7.5
for each element without breaking the inter-element acoustic coupling.
The dV-DOSC enclosure heart is made of first grade Baltic birch plywood with
top and bottom aluminum plates to ensure maximum acoustical and mechanical
integrity. The 4-point rigging system allows flying up to 24 dV-DOSC.
The dV-DOSC system is driven by the dedicated LA8 amplified controller
which ensures active system linearization, intelligent transducer protection,
and optimization for three operating modes:

Line Source arrays or distributed applications.

Features, Benefits
& Technical Specifications

FARO Laser Scanner Focus3D

A leap in innovation and efficiency to lower your costs


The Focus3D is a high-speed 3D laser scanner for detailed measurement
and documentation. With a touch operated screen to control scanning
functions and parameters, the Focus3D uses laser technology to produce
incredibly detailed three-dimensional images of complex environments
and large scale geometries in only a few minutes. The resulting image
is an assembly of millions of 3D measurement points that provide an
exact digital reproduction of existing conditions.
The Focus3D offers the most efficient method for three-dimensional
documentation of building construction, excavation volumes, faade
and structural deformations, crime scenes, accident details, product
geometry, factories, process plants and more. Given its minimal size
and weight as well as touch interface, the Focus3D is easy to work with
and saves up to 50% of scan time compared to conventional scanners.

How the Focus3D works


The technology behind the Focus3D is simple. First, it emits a laser beam from a rotating mirror out towards
the area being scanned. Then the unit distributes the laser beam at a vertical range of 305o and a
horizontal range of 360o. The laser beam is then reflected back to the scanner by objects in its path. The
distance to the objects defining an area is calculated as well as their relative vertical and horizontal
angles. The data is captured and transmitted via WLAN for calculating precise 3D renderings.

Features of the Focus3D


Intuitive touchscreen display

Control all scanner functions with a touch interface for


unparalleled ease of use and control

Small and compact

With a size of only 9.5 x 8 x 4in and a weight of just


11lbs, the Focus3D is the smallest 3D scanner ever built

ELIGIBILITY

150

These exams are designed to evaluate and validate the knowledge and skill base of the upper third of entertainment technicians working in the industry. ETCP uses a point system to determine eligibility for examinations. A candidate must have 30 points to apply. Points are awarded for work experience, training (e.g. internships or apprenticeships) and degrees from accredited
institutions. Points can be earned through work experience alone or through a combination of the above. The point system translates to 1 point per 100 hours of work experience. A candidate
must complete the Employment History section of the ETCP Application and contact information should be sufficiently detailed to allow verification by ETCP. Education credits may contribute a
maximum of 10 points and all degrees must be achieved from an accredited institution. An official transcript is required from the granting institution. Courses taken outside a formal program
of undergraduate or graduate studies do not count towards eligibility. Internships count as 1 point per 200 hours - with a maximum of 5 points; and apprenticeships count as 1 point per 100
hours - with a maximum of 10 points. Electricians licenses may be used for additional points towards eligibility for the electrical exam.

Personnel certification is the voluntary process by which a nongovernmental organization grants
recognition to an individual who has demonstrated a high level of knowledge, skills and abilities.
Certification means that one has met specific eligibility requirements including training, experience and education, and passed a rigorous, comprehensive examination. Certification indicates
a substantial professional commitment to the field and documents this expertise to employers,
colleagues and professional organizations.
Feasibility surveys of employers show eighty-one percent would encourage employees or personnel
working in their venues to seek certification in rigging. Establish your credibility and gain the
confidence of employers and coworkers by achieving ETCP certification.

Introduction

Independent Testing Agency

This handbook provides information about


the examination and application process to
become an ETCP Certified Rigger. It outlines
the design and content of the examinations
and guides candidates through the entire
process from application to examination. For
your convenience, this handbook may also
be downloaded from the ETCP website at
http://etcp.esta.org.

ETCP has contracted with Applied


Measurement Professionals, Inc. (AMP) to
assist in the development, administration,
scoring and analysis of ETCPs certification
examinations. AMP, located in the greater
Kansas City area, is a leading provider of
licensing and certification examinations for
professional organizations.

About ETCP
ETCP is an industry-wide program of PLASA.
Participating in the governance of the program
are: Alliance of Motion Picture and Television
Producers (AMPTP), BASE Entertainment,
Broadway Across America, The Broadway
League, Canadian Institute for Theatre
Technology (CITT), Cirque du Soleil/MGM
MIRAGE, Disney Theatrical Productions,
International Alliance of Theatrical Stage
Employees (IATSE), International Association
of Assembly Managers (IAAM), InfoComm
International, Live Nation, NBC Universal,
Production Resource Group (PRG), Safety and
Health in Arts Production and Entertainment
(SHAPE), TEA, and United States Institute
for Theatre Technology (USITT). For more
information, please visit http://etcp.plasa.org.

Vision Statement
ETCP was created to develop an ANSIAccredited Personnel Certification Program
to recognize those individuals who have demonstrated knowledge, skills and abilities in
specific disciplines within the entertainment
technology field. By providing a thorough,
independent assessment of knowledge, skills
and abilities for entertainment technology disciplines, the Program seeks to enhance safety,
reduce workplace risk, improve performance,
stimulate training, and give due recognition
to the professional skills of entertainment
technicians.

Non-Discrimination Policy
ETCP and AMP do not discriminate among
candidates on the basis of race, color, creed,
gender, religion, national origin, ancestry,
disability, military discharge status, sexual
orientation, or marital status.

ETCP Certified Rigger


There are currently two divisions of the
main ETCP Certified Rigger credential:
ETCP Certified Rigger Arena and ETCP
Certified Rigger Theatre. The Arena certification encompasses rigging that employs
chain hoists and truss systems to temporarily
suspend objects from overhead structures in
any environment. ETCP recognizes that these
methods and hardware are used throughout
the entertainment industry in arenas, convention and trade show spaces and in theatrical
venues. However the principles, practices, and
components are consistent and similar in all
applications and are different from those used
in traditional theatrical spaces. The Theatre
certification encompasses rigging that employs
the use of counterweighted systems, mechanical systems and hydraulic systems, usually, but
not always, permanently installed in facilities
for the use of theatre technicians in the execution of their rigging responsibilities. An applicant may seek certification in either or both
of these divisions. Each division has its own
separate examination covering the specific
knowledge, skills and abilities needed.

ETCP Candidate Handbook

About the Examinations


The ETCP Certified Rigger Examinations are
designed to test a well-defined body of know
ledge representative of current professional
practice in rigging. Successful completion of a
certification examination verifies broad-based
knowledge in the discipline being tested.
The content of the ETCP Certified Rigger
Examinations has been defined by a national
job analysis study. The study involved surveying practitioners in the field to identify tasks
that are performed routinely and are considered important to competent practice. The
examinations have been developed through
a combined effort of qualified subject matter
experts and testing professionals who have
constructed the examinations in accordance
with the ETCP Certified Rigger Examination
content outlines.
Each ETCP Certified Rigger Examination
consists of 150 multiple-choice questions.
Each question has four alternative answers
(A, B, C, D), with one of those being the correct response. Candidates will be permitted
three (3) hours to complete the examination.
Those who are approved by ETCP to sit for
the examination and achieve a passing score
will be awarded the designation of either:
ETCP Certified Rigger Arena

or

ETCP Certified Rigger Theatre


Applicants who achieve a passing score on both
examinations will be awarded the designation:
ETCP Certified Rigger Arena and Theatre
This handbook provides specific information related to the ETCP Certified Rigger
Examinations. To apply for either examination, complete the application and send it
along with all required supporting documents
ETCP Candidate Handbook

and the examination fee to ETCP. ETCP


recommends that you keep copies of all materials and send all documentation by certified
mail or other trackable delivery service. The
handbook and all application forms can also
be printed at http://etcp.plasa.org.

Preparing for the Examination


Your primary objective in preparing for the
examination is to pass. Other objectives such
as learning new material and reviewing old
material are critical to this objective. Begin
your study by developing your strategy for
success.
A good study strategy includes preparation.
To prepare, determine first what you need to
learn, choose your study materials, and select
a quiet, comfortable place that allows you to
focus. Before you begin, check to make sure
you have everything you need. Try to avoid
interruptions for any reason.
Developing a study plan will allow you to
learn the most as you study. Include setting
goals in your study plan. Review what you
have studied as often as possible. The more
you review, the more you will retain.

web-based practice exams


Many candidates have not taken an exam in
some time and/or may be unfamiliar with
computer-based testing. Fifty question webbased practice exams can provide candidates
with a low cost, valuable tool for self-assessment. There is no application process for the
practice exams; so any interested candidate
can take the exam privately at home, at the
office or on the road whenever it is most convenient. Score reports are provided to help
candidates focus their studies. The exams are
available for $35 at www.goamp.com. Go to
Candidates and then follow the menu to
ETCP to choose one of the three exams.

Failing to Report for an


Examination or Cancellations
Unless an Emergency Waiver (see below) is
granted, a candidate will incur an additional
$150 cancellation and rescheduling fee under
any of the following circumstances:

12

Candidates who are unable to take the examination on the scheduled date may request an
emergency waiver from ETCP. This waiver
will allow the candidate to reschedule the
examination appointment to a future date
without penalty. Waivers may be granted for
the following reasons:
Disaster resulting in an officially declared
state of emergency;
Death of an immediate family member within 14 calendar days prior to the examination
date. Copy of death certificate or obituary
must be provided in order for the cancellation and rescheduling fee to be waived; or
Illness or injury. A doctors verification is
required.
Please contact ETCP if you have questions
or concerns about obtaining an emergency
waiver.

ETCP Candidate Handbook

Inclement Weather, Power


Failure or Emergency
In the event of inclement weather or unforeseen emergencies on the day of an examination, AMP will determine whether circumstances warrant the cancellation, and subsequent rescheduling, of an examination. The
examination will usually not be rescheduled
if the Assessment Center personnel are able
to open the Assessment Center. If power to
a testing center is temporarily interrupted
during an administration, your examination
will restart where you left off and you may
continue the examination.
Candidates may contact AMPs Weather
Hotline at (913) 895-4618 (24 hours/day)
prior to the examination to determine if AMP
has been advised that any Assessment Centers
are closed. Every attempt is made to administer the examination as scheduled; however, should an examination be canceled at an
Assessment Center, all scheduled candidates
will receive notification following the examination regarding rescheduling procedures.

Test Content
The three-hour 165 question examination is
designed to assess the candidates knowledge
of rigging practice. The examination is developed by ETCP. A group of experts drawn
from a wide variety of work environments
and geographical areas write the examination
questions. For a list of these Subject Matter
Experts see page 29. The examination consists
of four-option, multiple-choice questions written at three different cognitive levels: recall,
application, and analysis (see following table).
These levels represent an organized way to
identify the processes that practitioners utilize
on the job. A description of the examination
content follows on page 14.

ETCP Candidate Handbook

1 Recall: The ability to recall or recognize


specific information is required.
2 Application: The ability to comprehend,
relate or apply knowledge to new or
changing situations is required.
3 Analysis: The ability to analyze and
synthesize information, determine
solutions and/or evaluate the
usefulness of a solution is required.

Non-scored items
There are 165 questions on each ETCP examination of which 150 are scored items. Because
ETCP is testing so many candidates, it is necessary to have a large bank of questions that
can be rotated, so candidates are not seeing
the same test forms as their peers. The testing
company, Applied Measurement Professionals
(AMP) includes the 15 pretest items because it
helps the exam committees collect meaningful
statistics about new questions that may appear
as scored questions on future examinations.
By including the pretest items, all examinees
are ensured their scores are the result of sound
measurement practices and that scored questions are reflective of current practice. These
pretest items are interspersed throughout the
exam to ensure that candidates answer them
with the same care as they do the scored questions. These 15 items do not count towards
the pass/fail of the exam. Including pretest
items is a standard practice in the credentialing world; and most examinations that are
used for the purpose of issuing a credential
include pretest items.

may be provided for any question by clicking on the button displaying an exclamation
point (!) to the left of the Time button. This
opens a dialogue box where comments may
be entered. Comments will be reviewed, but
individual responses will not be provided.

Following the Examination


After completing the examination, candidates
are asked to complete a short evaluation of
their testing experience. Scores are reported in
written form only, in person or by U.S. mail.
Scores are not reported over the telephone, by
electronic mail or by facsimile.
Your score report will indicate a pass or
fail. Additional detail may be provided in
the form of raw scores by major content category. A raw score is the number of questions
you answered correctly. Your pass/fail status is
determined by your raw score.

Pass/Fail Score Determination


The methodology used to set the minimum
passing score is the Angoff method, applied
during the performance of a Passing Point
Study by a panel of experts in the field. The
experts evaluate each question on the examination to determine how many correct answers

ETCP Candidate Handbook

are necessary to demonstrate the knowledge


and skills required to pass the examination.
Your ability to pass the examination depends
on the knowledge and skills you display, not
on the performance of other candidates.
Passing scores vary slightly for each version of
the examination. To ensure fairness to all candidates, a process of statistical equating is used.
This involves selecting an appropriate mix of
individual questions for each version of the
examination that meet the content distribution requirements of the examination content
blueprint. Because each question has been
pretested, a difficulty level can be assigned.
The process then considers the difficulty level
of each question selected for each version of
the examination, attempting to match the
difficulty level of each version as closely as
possible. To assure fairness, slight variations in
difficulty level are addressed by adjusting the
passing score up or down, depending on the
overall difficulty level statistics for the group
of scored questions that appear on a particular
version of the examination.

Scores Cancelled or Withheld


by ETCP or AMP
ETCP and AMP are responsible for the validity and integrity of the scores they report. On
occasion, occurrences such as computer malfunction or misconduct by a candidate may
cause a score to be suspect. ETCP and AMP
reserve the right to void or withhold examination results if, upon investigation, violation of
its regulations is discovered.
In addition, the ETCP Council reserves the
right to periodically withhold examination
scores to conduct a review for quality assurance. You will be notified by ETCP if your
examination scores will be temporarily withheld for any reason.

25

If You Pass the Examination


Candidates who pass the examination will
receive:

A certificate from the ETCP detailing


your qualification as an ETCP
Certified Rigger
A credit-card sized ETCP Certified
Rigger identification card with your
photograph
A pin, patch, and sticker identifying
you as an ETCP Certified Rigger

If You Do Not Pass the


Examination
Candidates who do not pass an ETCP
Examination may re-register with ETCP for
the same examination twice more within two
years without submitting a new application
and supporting documents. The full retake fee
of $200 ($150 for members - see Examination
Fees on Page 8), is payable for each re-registration along with a signed letter of intent. If
the candidate is not successful in these three
attempts, he/she must wait one year before
reapplying and the full application and fee
must be submitted at that time.

Confidentiality
Information about candidates and their examination results is considered confidential.
Studies and reports concerning candidates
will contain no information identifiable with
any candidate, unless authorized by the candidate.

Duplicate Score Report


Candidates may purchase additional copies
of their results at a cost of $25 per copy.
Requests must be submitted to AMP, in writing. The request must include the candidates
name, examination identification number,
mailing address, telephone number, date of
examination and examination taken. Submit

26

this information with the required fee payable to AMP in the form of a money order or
cashiers check. Duplicate score reports will be
mailed within approximately two weeks after
receipt of the request and fee.
