Design recommendations for multi-storey and underground car parks (2002) (3rd edition)

Publisher: Institution of Structural Engineers.
Ref. Number 343. A4, 86 pages, 80 illustrations. June 2002. ISBN 0 901297 23 2.

This report is intended for use by structural engineers who have an appreciation of the design process for buildings, and offers additional design guidance specific to car park design and construction. The scope primarily relates to multi-storey car parks above and below ground, for access and use by the public. The report has sought to retain those parts of the previous two editions published in 1975 and 1984 that were found to be of significant value and are still current, while updating other areas in the light of recent developments, design feedback and advice from operators, as well as to reflect current and likely future expectations of facilities in public car parks. Although the recommendations are intended for structural engineers, some sections will be relevant to other construction professionals and car park owners/operators. The form and order of the report has been established to relate to key areas of design considerations in increasing detail. The three main stages are:
Agreement of the design scope and the considerations necessary for general car park layout design and planning
Structural considerations and issues related to the development of the structural form, framing and use of space
Design details and specific measures that can be used to enhance durability
The report is not intended as a stand-alone document and complements and deliberately refers to current standards and codes of practice in the UK without repeating the details they contain. The guidance seeks to suggest good practice and clarify interpretation of commonly used reference standards. It also illustrates areas of special concern in car park design where these differ significantly from the normal practice set out in building and construction codes. The guidance principles are intended to be applicable worldwide. The report recognises that local, regional and national variations to design requirements exist and it recommends that these should be confirmed in developing the design basis. Use of these recommendations will assist with the creation of safe, durable and successful car park structures that provide long term good value and performance for both the developer and the public user alike.
