Santiago Bernabéu Soccer Stadium, Madrid, Spain

To increase the number of seats, the roof structure had to be raised. The existing reinforced concrete columns were strengthened and extended. They were lengthened by 12.5 m high steel columns with steel trusses cantilevering to 32 m and anchored by Ø 40 mm GEWI ^® Bars.

Six GEWI ^® Bars were anchored in each foundation, four on the tension side of the columns and two in the front. This arrangement carries the uplift forces from wind loads on the roof which was placed on top of the extended columns.
