Special Requirements for Aluminum Alloy Tents in Sports Events

Aluminum alloy tents used in sports events must meet special requirements in safety, functionality, environmental adaptability, rapid deployment, and spectator experience. The details are explained below from different dimensions:

1. Structural Safety and Stability

1. Wind and Earthquake Resistance Design

1. High-strength aluminum alloy frames (e.g., 6061-T6 aluminum alloy) must be used based on the climatic conditions of the event site (e.g., typhoon-prone coastal areas), ensuring the tent can withstand wind forces of Level 8-12. Wind tunnel testing is required for extreme regions to verify stability.

2. The structure must account for seismic loads, with secure anchoring to the ground via foundation bolts, counterweights, or ground nails to prevent displacement or overturning.

2. Load-Bearing Capacity

1. The tent roof must withstand snow loads (typically designed for 0.3-0.5kN/㎡). In severe cold areas, thicker roof materials or additional internal supports may be needed.

2. If used to hang lighting, sound systems, or other equipment, the frame must have pre-installed load-bearing nodes to ensure local weight capacity meets installation requirements (e.g., single-point hanging load ≥50kg).

2. Functionality and Space Adaptability

1. Large-Span Column-Free Space

1. Sports events (e.g., basketball, badminton) require open venues. Tent spans typically need to be 15-50 meters, using truss-style aluminum alloy frames to minimize internal columns and avoid blocking sightlines.

2. Multi-Functional Zoning Design

1. The tent must be divided into functional areas such as competition zones, spectator areas, athlete rest areas, and media zones, with detachable partitions or modular structures for flexible layout adjustments.

2. The spectator area must 预留 (reserve) stepped grandstand interfaces or integrated retractable seating systems to accommodate different attendance sizes (typically 500-5,000 people).

3. Facility Integration Capability

1. Built-in ventilation systems (e.g., exhaust fans, air conditioning interfaces) to ensure air circulation and prevent stuffiness; equipped with lighting systems (illuminance ≥500lux) to meet live broadcast and spectator viewing requirements.

2. Pre-installed power, network, water supply, and drainage interfaces to support quick access for electronic scoreboards, live broadcast equipment, temporary restrooms, and other facilities.

3. Environmental Adaptability and Durability

1. Weather Protection Performance

1. Waterproof Design: Tent fabrics use PVC-coated polyester fiber, with heat-sealed seams and a waterproof rating of IPX6. The roof slope must be ≥5° to ensure smooth drainage.

2. Sun Protection and Thermal Insulation: Tent fabrics are coated with UV-resistant layers (UV blocking rate ≥90%). In cold regions, double-layer fabrics with thermal insulation cotton can maintain stable indoor temperatures.

3. Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum alloy frames undergo anodization treatment, and additional anti-corrosion coatings are required for coastal or high-humidity areas to extend service life beyond 10 years.

2. Rapid Assembly/Disassembly and Mobility

1. Modular design allows single units to be set up in ≤4 hours, and large tents (e.g., 2,000㎡) can be fully assembled within 24 hours to meet temporary event site needs.

2. Components must be easy to transport (e.g., foldable frames, rollable tent fabrics), with a transportation volume 70% smaller than traditional buildings, reducing logistics costs.

4. Spectator Experience and Event Needs

1. Sightline and Acoustic Optimization

1. Tent height must ensure no oppressive feeling (typically ≥6 meters of clear height). Curved or domed roof designs reduce echo, and acoustic absorption materials may be added to minimize noise interference in spectator areas.

2. Transparent or semi-transparent tent fabrics (e.g., PVC transparent film) are used on walls to increase natural light and improve indoor lighting.

2. Safety Evacuation and Signage

1. Multiple safety exits (width ≥1.2 meters) must be set up, with fluorescent guidance markers on passage floors to meet the standard of evacuating 50 people/㎡ per minute in emergencies.

2. The exterior of the tent must clearly mark fire-fighting equipment locations (e.g., fire extinguishers, fire hydrants) and reserve space for fire vehicles.

5. Environmental Protection and Sustainability

1. Material Environmental Friendliness

1. Aluminum alloy frames are 100% recyclable, and tent fabrics use degradable PVC materials to reduce environmental impact from events.

2. Low-Carbon Energy-Saving Design

1. Prioritize natural ventilation and lighting to reduce energy consumption; solar power systems (e.g., photovoltaic tent fabrics) can meet part of the electricity demand.
