A team from IEME Brazil was present at the São Paulo Futebol Clube stadium on Saturday, September 7, to monitor the structural behavior of the stands during the concert by Canadian singer The Weeknd.

As is regularly done at events at MorumBIS, the monitoring work included sensors to measure the deformation of the structure, subjected to dynamic loads, such as those generated by the public at artistic and sporting events. The measurement is important because the excitement of the audience generates vibrations in the structure that can exceed the limits permitted by technical standards and cause panic, accidents and even structural collapse. Regular monitoring, as is done by SPFC, allows the adoption of preventive measures that guarantee the safety and comfort of users.

Due to the regular monitoring of the structure, the excitement was only due to the show, which ended the trilogy that began with After Hours (2020) and continued with Dawn FM (2022), at the same time that the singer gave a small sample of “Hurry Up Tomorrow”, his new album. The show ended with a pyrotechnic show on the huge stage set up on the track and drones forming the name of the artist’s new work, which drove the audience wild.
