The Aloha Stadium is a 50,000 seat facility, with 4 of its 6 stands allowing for field configuration changes from football to baseball. The stadium is a corten steel structure which was left unpainted. Due to the corrosive atmosphere in Hawaii, the corten steel never stopped rusting. Inspection of the stadium indicated that corrosion losses of primary structural members ranged from 15% to as high as 80% in localized areas. The State of Hawaii contracted with our firm to perform a complete “as designed” and “as is” analysis of the stadium, render an opinion of its safety and recommend any structural repairs that may have been required. We were then contracted to complete all the analysis and engineering repair work before the University of Hawaii football season was to start.
