Abstract
This work proposed an architectural alternative project of a stainless steel roof structure that uses roof tiles also in stainless
steel with emphasis on roofs for multi-sport gymnasiums. In the development of the work, two existing multi-sports gymnasiums are
taken as a reference, but with ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) A36 steel roof structure. The proposed cover
system uses cables and light gauge profiles, in commercial stainless steel, which reduces the weight and of course the final price of
the roof structure. A structure that presents technical feasibility is obtained and analyzed by checking its behavior with respect to the
efforts and displacements generated by the combinations of the acting loads, following the safety recommendations of the applicable
standard. It is verified that using the stainless steel structure proposed in this work would cost 42% of the reference structure if this
were in AISI (American Iron and Steel Institute) 304 stainless steel. And this cost tends to be minimized due to greater durability and
consequent reduction in maintenance costs of this type of steel.
