American Airlines Arena
IRT was retained to design the roof of the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida, as the original design did not meet the Miami-Dade wind uplift requirements. The arena faces Biscayne Bay in Downtown Miami, making wind uplift conditions a primary concern. IRT completed wind uplift engineering calculations to determine the design pressure for the building. Once the design pressure was determined, a suitable system was designed and proper attachment procedures were specified.
