Abstract
The award-winning Moses Mabhida Stadium, completed in October 2009, is a world-class multi-purpose sporting facility and an iconic, innovative and sustainable landmark in Durban which played host to seven spectacular Fifa World Cup 2010 matches, including a semi-final. The 106m arch, inspired by the Y-shape of the South African flag, was a world first in terms of the design of the arch foundations, involving diaphragm walling to bedrock, massive cappings and springer plinths. Another South African first was achieved for precast design and installation in stadiums.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
