    OBSERVATION

    ln

    general,

    the

    stadium

    is

    an relatively

    good

    condition.

    During

    the

    inspection,

    it

    was

    noticed

    that

    some

    ofthe

    expansion.ioints

    were

    restrajned

    -

    during

    the 2008

    refurbishment/renovation

    works.

    Expansion

    joints

    running

    through floor

    slabs were

    terminated

    in

    front

    of

    newly

    introduced

    columns

    and

    wall

    partitions.

    Cracks

    had

    developed

    through

    plaster

    in

    the

    face

    of

    such

    columns

    and walls.

    ln oiher

    areas,

    the

    expansion

    joints

    were

    either

    plastered

    or

    tiled

    over,

    thereby

    restrainiag

    those

    joints.

    Well visible

    cracks had

    developed

    in

    sLrch

    situations,

    running

    from

    the

    ground

    floor

    to

    the

    third floor

    ofthe facility.

    One

    of the

    inspected

    rooms

    at the

    ground

    floor level

    (shop

    no.

    11),

    had severe

    dampness

    on

    portion

    of

    it

    wall.

    The

    situation

    is

    so severe

    such

    that,

    the dampness

    had caused

    the wall

    plaster

    to

    breakdown,

    crack

    and

    some

    painted

    sections

    to

    widely

    peel

    off.

    Other

    portions

    ofthe damp room

    also

    had severe

    btack

    spot mould

    and mildew

    sporing

    on

    the

    damp

    walls.

    The

    cause was

    traced

    to the

    sealant

    used in

    sealing the

    expansion

    joints,

    formed

    along

    transitions

    of

    the seating

    tiers

    and

    within

    the

    stadium

    arena.

    The

    finishing

    sealant had

    weathered

    ;n most

    sections.

    Further

    inspection

    also revealed

    that, most

    of the

    sealant

    used

    in sealing

    the

    expansion

    joints

    within

    the

    whole

    stadium

    bowl

    had

    weathered

    in

    some sections

    oftheir

    leneths.

    Sealant

    materials

    typically

    have

    a service

    life

    of

    5-7years.

    The

    broken

    down

    surface

    of

    these

    joints

    exposes

    them,

    thereby

    causing

    rainwater

    to seep

    through,

    penetrating

    adjoining

    block

    work

    and

    further

    staining

    internal

    block

    work

    partitions

    of

    rooms

    below.

    For

    ihe seating

    bowl expansion

    joints,

    we

    could

    only

    observe the topside

    condition.

    Well

    defined

    medium

    cracks,

    were

    also

    observed

    to be

    running

    along

    risers

    of tiers.

    The

    open

    spaces,

    created

    by

    these

    cracks

    present

    a

    path

    for

    rainwater

    to enter

    into

    fabric

    of

    structure

    below.

    Along

    the seatjng

    arena

    some

    guard

    barriers

    are loose, and

    these

    must

    also

    be

    proper{y

    flxed

    into

    position.

    Changes in

    temperature

    cause

    expansion

    and

    contraction

    ofthe

    rail

    at

    different

    rates

    than

    the

    concrete

    holding

    it.

    The

    differential

    movement,

    over

    the

    length,

    results in

    stresses

    on

    the concrete.

    as

    well

    as

    ln

    some areas,

    render

    breaks

    awaV

    from

    block

    wall.

    This

    defect

    is

    largely

    due

    to incompatibilities

    between

    render

    and

    background

    or

    may

    lie with the

    render

    spe€ification.

    Observing

    the

    tartan

    tracks, it

    was

    also

    noticed

    that the

    existing

    surface

    has

    worn-out

    making it

    uneven

    in

    most

    areas. The red

    surfaces as well as

    the white

    markangs

    have

    faded,

    with water

    stains evicient

    in numeaous

    places.

    The worn

    out surface makes

    the track

    more

    firm.

    However, it

    is in

    a fair condition,

    and can

    still

    be

    used.

    During

    the

    20C8

    re-construction

    works,

    more

    seats

    were

    also

    added to

    the facitity,

    especially

    in

    the VIP areas

    (between

    2500

    to

    3000 seats).

    However,

    no

    additional

    septic

    system

    was

    incorporated

    to

    take

    up with

    the

    added

    number.

    This has led

    to an increase

    in

    the

    de-

    sludging

    rate

    from

    septic

    tanks serving the

    Vlp

    lines.

    As

    such,

    to

    take

    up

    the deficit,

    a

    new

    septic

    tank should

    be

    sized and

    reconstructed

    to take

    that

    number.

    slabs

    the

    REMEDIAL WORK

    A)

    TREATMENT

    OF THE

    EXPANSION ]OINTS

    1)

    ln

    walls

    and slabs

    where

    expansion

    joints

    have

    been restrained

    and

    have

    not

    been

    allowed

    to

    continue,

    the

    designed

    joint

    (25mm)

    should

    be

    created,

    and

    filled

    with

    an

    approved flex-cell material.

    This

    should then

    be

    pointed

    with

    approved non,

    hardening

    mastic

    to a depth of

    about

    25mm to

    seal.

    2) For

    all expansion

    joints

    with deteriorated

    in-fill

    material,

    joints

    must

    be

    opened

    up,

    re-filled

    with

    flex-cell

    and

    then

    pointed

    with

    approved

    non-hardening

    mastic

    to

    the

    same

    depth of 25mm.

    3)

    Remove all

    metal

    surfaces

    of columns

    and

    the

    effe.t

    of rainwater entry into

    sealed through

    it

    transitions

    along

    the

    seating

    tiers

    ofthe

    As

    such;

    1) Remove

    all

    failed sealant

    and

    c,ean with

    grinders

    to

    remove
