Parking Structures provides a single-source reference for parking structure designers, builders, and owners. This third edition is still the only such book. It addresses how to select the best functional and structural designs for a given situation, ensure long-term durability, design for easy maintenance, decide on the number and placement of entrances and exits, design an easily understood wayfinding system, design for ADA compliance, plan for internal auto and pedestrian traffic circulation, select the most effective and energy efficient lighting system, avoid the most common design and construction pitfalls, provide for adequate patron safety and security, carry out needed repairs, and extend the parking structure life. Parking Structures addresses all the major issues related to parking garages. It is an essential reference for parking structure owners, structural engineers, architects, contractors, and other professionals. New in the third edition: This third edition of Parking Structures includes new material on metric dimensions and recommendations for functional design globally, new research on flow capacity and queuing at parking entry/exits, an entirely new chapter on planning for a new parking structure, including cost issues and alternatives to structure construction, pedestrian considerations, safety in parking facilities, plazas above parking structures, an expanded chapter on seismic design, seismic retrofit, life cycle cost analysis, and upgrades to existing structures.

The deterioration of parking structures is now a cause of serious alarm. The main problem is corrosion caused by road salt and water which penetrate the concrete. Construction and environmental factors and maintenance procedures are the key elements in this deterioration. The objectives of this study were as follows: 1. To identify those factors that favourably affect the serviceability of parking structures so that the characteristics that have resulted in durable structures could be isolated; 2. To identify those cost-effective repair procedures tht could be used in present and future repair programs of the contributing departments and CMHC; 3. To identify suitable operation and maintenace procedures to be used after repairs are made; 4. To make information available for incorporation into the relevant codes, by the appropriate committees.
