Multilevel Car Park-Optimum Solution While Considering Composite Option

Abstract

The Multilevel car park is a unique type of building. In India, the metropolitan cities have started to build this type of structure to solve a parking problem in congested traffic area. In nearer future, the multilevel car parks become a need of the day. Present study is carried out with an objective to understand the various forms, geometry and the structural aspect of the multilevel car parks in India. Accordance with various structural system, type of decking system also has been studied. From literature survey, it is observed that, for the construction of high rise multilevel car park system, the steel-concrete composite option is cost effective solution over the RCC. For deciding the geometry of car park system, the split level type car parks have been considered. It also provides effective and economical solution over the other functional system. Design component of steel-concrete composite construction like: deck slab, and girder has been carried out using the excel worksheet. Design of deck slab and beams has been done using BS-5950 (Part-4) and Eurocode-4. Analysis has the analysis and design of columns been done using STAAD.Pro 2006. The comparison of moment frame and braced frame has been done. The comparison of Deflections, weights and moments are compared for the above two system.
