Abstract
The exhibition hall 3, with 38,000 m2 of space on two levels, was built to expand the Frankfurt am Main trade fair location. An outstanding architectural feature is the 165 m wide self-supporting.hall roof. After a general introduction, this article deals with the supporting structure of the hall roof and its static and dynamic calculation. After descriptions of the structural design, the production and assembly as well as the quality assurance of the tubular structure are described.
