Abstract
IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE ANY URBAN SETTING WITHOUT PARKING GARAGES. GIVEN THE LIMITED AVAILABILITY OF USABLE AREAS IN BUSY CITIES, PARKING STRUCTURES EFFICIENTLY PROVIDE STALLS FOR VEHICLES IN AIRPORTS, TRAIN STATIONS, BUS STATIONS, COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS, HOSPITALS, AND MALLS. THEY ARE COMMONLY BUILT USING CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE, PRECAST CONCRETE, POST-TENSIONED CONCRETE, STRUCTURAL STEEL, ENGINEERED LUMBER, OR A COMBINATION OF THESE SYSTEMS. STRUCTURAL PARKING DECKS TYPICALLY CONSIST OF REINFORCED CONCRETE SLABS OVER PRECAST SUPPORTING UNITS. THE INITIAL SLOPES OF THE SLABS ALONG WITH THEIR STRUCTURAL DEFLECTIONS ARE IMPORTANT TO DIRECT WATER TOW ARD TI-lE DRAINS AS PER TILE BUILDINGS WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN.
