La ingeniería oculta del Estadio BBVA

The BBVA Stadium, known worldwide as the "Steel Giant," is not only one of the most modern venues in Latin America, but a true masterpiece of structural engineering. The great challenge of its design was to completely cover the stands with a monumental cantilevered structure without placing a single intermediate column to obstruct the fans' view. In this video, we analyze the X-ray of its external metal skeleton, how its enormous three-dimensional trusses work to counteract bending moments and wind loads, and the logistics required to assemble this jewel of construction in Monterrey.
