Global Monitoring of the Technical Condition for the 'Donbass Arena' Stadium, Ukraine

About 70% of the Ukrainian cities’ territory has complicated geotechnical conditions and it requires reliable, constantly updated information about the changes in the Earth’s surface and engineering structures. Contemporary trends of developing big cities and megalopolises show a total neglecting geotechnical processes occurring on the construction sites of modern, unique and complex structures. Adequate safety measures are often ignored while designing, constructing and, then, operating the above-mentioned objects which also include large sport facilities. Withal such facilities are included in the list of objects that have “… unique and very important economic and / or social value ...” as determined in Ukrainian national construction regulation, particularly National Building Code V.1.2-5:2007. They are subjected to mandatory scientific and technical support during the exploitation. One of the points of scientific and technical support is a requirement for monitoring the technical condition of framings. This paper describes the unique multipurpose monitoring system of the “Donbass Arena” stadium, which is located in extremely unfavorable geotechnical conditions.
Oko 70% teritorija ukrajinskih gradova ima složene geotehničke uvjete što zahtijeva pouzdane i stalno ažurirane podatke o promjenama na zemljinoj površini i građevinskim objektima. Suvremeni trendovi razvoja velikih gradova i megapolisa pokazuju potpuno zanemarivanje geotehničkih procesa koji se pojavljuju na gradilištima modernih, jedinstvenih i složenih građevina. Odgovarajuće mjere sigurnost se često ignoriraju prilikom dizajniranja, gradnje i funkcioniranja gore spomenutih objekata što također uključuje velike sportske objekte. Osim toga, takvi objekti su uključeni u popis objekata koji imaju „…jedinstvenu i vrlo važnu gospodarsku i/ili društvenu vrijednost…“ kao što je definirano u Ukrajinskom nacionalnom zakonu o graditeljstvu, posebno u Nacionalnom pravilniku o gradnji V.1.2-5:2007. Oni podliježu obaveznoj znanstvenoj i tehničkoj podršci tijekom eksploatacije. Jedan od točaka znanstvene i tehničke podrške je i potreba monitoringa tehničkih uvjeta. Ovaj rad opisuje jedinstveni višenamjenski sustav monitoringa stadiona ''Donbass Arena'' koji je smješten u izrazito nepovoljnim geotehničkim uvjetima.
