INTRODUCTION:
History:
The earliest known multistorey car park was opened in May 1901 by City &
Suburban Electric Carriage Company at 6 Denman Street, central London.
The location had space for 100 vehicles over seven floors, totaling 19,000
square feet.

Types of parking:
1. Parking lot : is a cleared area that is intended for parking
vehicles. Parking spaces are marked on ground with white or yellow
lines.
2.On-street parking: as the name itself suggest on-street parking means the
area allotted for parking purpose at the sides of roads.

3.Parking garages: a building where you can leave a car for a period of time.

Further classification of parking garages

• Single level parking garage
• Multi level parking garage
• Underground parking garage
• Automated parking garage
OBJECTIVE:
1.Functional planning of underground car parking system and selection of site
for proposed plan.
2.Estimation of load of building to find required depth of bore hole for site
investigation.

METHODOLOGY:

• Comprehensive study of various case studies and PARKING STRUCTURE

DESIGN GUIDELINES prepared for CCDC.
• Functional planning of car parking system.
• Selection of appropriate site for proposed plan.
• Calculation of load of structure and find required depth of bore hole.
LITERATURE REVIEW:
Underground car parking garage:
As available land becomes scarcer, underground parking becomes more and more appealing,
especially in urban locations. Underground parking solutions have many advantages over
aboveground parking:

• It makes much more land available for non-parking uses

• It offers easier access control to help reduce crime
• Due to the parking structure, parked cars are unseen
• No obstruction of views or sunlight
• Improved liquid and solid waste pollution control etc.
Geometry:
Parking areas take on many configurations. Parking spaces may be parallel,
perpendicular, or angled (30, 45, or 60 degree) to the driving lane, or aisle. A
common factor among these various parking layouts is the size of the
parking space. The minimum standard automobile parking space should be
6 meters long and 2.75 meters wide. Aisle widths vary based on the angle
chosen and if they are one- or two-way. Two-way aisles should be a
minimum of 7 meters wide.

The area required by each parking configuration will vary. As a general rule
of thumb, the closer to perpendicular, the more vehicles can be parked per
linear meter. Perpendicular, or 90 degree parking, accommodates 82
vehicles per 100 linear meters versus just less than 40 vehicles for 30
degree.
1. Parallel
For the driver, parallel parking requires experience, confidence, and patience. Parking
spaces should be a minimum of 7.5 meters long and at least 2.75 meters wide. On-
street parallel parking spaces should be 3.35 meters wide.
Advantages
• Works well in extremely narrow, linear spaces
• Requires minimum pavement area
Disadvantages
• Difficult maneuvering for most drivers
• Less than ideal visibility of adjacent traffic
• Inefficient use of on-street space

2. Perpendicular
Especially effective in low turnover rate or long term parking areas, the perpendicular,
or 90 degree parking configuration is the most efficient and economical since it
accommodates the most vehicles per linear meter.
Advantages
● Works well with either one- or two-way aisles
● Handles the most vehicles per square meter of pavement
● Handles most vehicles per linear meter
Disadvantages
● Requires widest area
● Difficult maneuvering for some drivers
● Two-way traffic can create some visibility problems
3.Angled :
This parking area configuration is ideal for a fast turnover rate or predominantly short
term use. This is often offset by difficulties of inefficient circulation patterns and one-way
aisles.
Advantages
• Easy maneuvering in and out of parking spaces
• Good visibility
• Lends itself to either one-or two-way aisles
• Most common short term parking configuration
Disadvantages
• Requires more pavement per vehicle than perpendicular configuration
• Handles less vehicles per linear meter
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS OF RAMPS

Angle of departure
• Min 10º
• To reduce incident of tailpipe and rear bumping dragging
Angle of approaches
• Min 15 º
Ramp slopes
• Max 15%
• For slopes over 10%, transition at least 8 feet long should be provided at
each end of the ramp at one half the slope of the ramp itself
Width
• One way straight ramp - min 12 feet
• Two way straight ramp - min 22 feet
• Circular ramp - min 14-18 feet
Ramp radius
• Single lane helical ramp - min 32 -37 feet
• Must kept min to conserve space and reduce travel distance
• Very sharp can cause dizzy
Site Requirements:

Large and rectangular shaped sites are ideal for parking structures. Although
flat sites are generally more economical to develop, sloped sites can provide
design opportunities such as access on different levels and/or no ramping
between levels.
Longer sites provide the opportunity to park along the end bays, which
provides more parking spaces, improves efficiency, and lowers the cost per
space. A longer site also allows for shallower ramps which provide improved
user comfort.
Walking distance tolerances from parking to a primary destination are typically
200 to 300 feet for shoppers, 500 to 800 feet for downtown employees, and
1,500 to 2,000 feet for special event patrons and students.
DETAILS OF WORK CARRIED OUT:
• Plan of parking
• Structural plan of car parking

1. FRONT VIEW

2. SIDE VIEW

3. ISOMETRIC VIEW
LOAD CALCULATION
RESULTS OBTAINED:

• We have drawn the floor plan and structural plan of car

parking and found the no. of parking space in each floor.
• We have selected the site behind the administrative
building.
• As our structure is fully floating type we will do site
investigation upto a depth of 10m.
