Deformations observed on completed systems of space steel structures appear to be much higher than foreseen by standard structural analysis. The proposed technique for resolving this problem uses the steel roof structure of the stadium in Split. The procedure may also be applied to systems other than the MERO-type, and warrants the conclusion as to the adequacy of the erected structure, consisting of other types of “industrial assemblages”.
