Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 1971 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1967 FHWA recommended that the HRB committee on parking develop a new publication to update and revise BPR's 1956 publication, "Parking guide for cities." In the present study, the committee attempts to view parking across the entire spectrum from the home to the central business district. Eight major topics are addressed: parking characteristics, zoning, parking programs, parking studies, location and design, operation, parking at transit stations, and curb parking. The three appendices comprise a glossary of terms, legal aspects of parking and public use, and change-of-mode facilities.

Download or read book Design Live Loads for Parking Garages written by Y. K. Wen and published by ASCE Publications. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Report to the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. This report provides a better understanding of parking garage live loads and recommends an appropriate value for design. Based on a load survey conducted in nine parking garages in Chicago and Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, and Cambridge and Boston, Massachusetts, statistical analyses were carried out of the equivalent uniform distributed loads. These produce the maximum column axial loads and beam midspan moments that the building is expecting to experience during its lifetime. The dynamic amplifications resulting from vehicle motions on the decks and ramps were also investigated, and results suggest a possible reduction of the design live load from the current value of 50 psf, as stipulated in the ASCE-7 and Uniform Building Code, to 40 psf, but with no allowance for reduction according to bay area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward-thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co-founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem. Inside, you’ll learn why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles—and why it just doesn’t work. New development and high-risk investing don’t generate enough wealth to support itself, and cities continue to struggle. Read this book to find out how cities large and small can focus on bottom-up investments to minimize risk and maximize their ability to strengthen the community financially and improve citizens’ quality of life. Develop in-depth knowledge of the underlying logic behind the “traditional” search for never-ending urban growth Learn practical solutions for ameliorating financial struggles through low-risk investment and a grassroots focus Gain insights and tools that can stop the vicious cycle of budget shortfalls and unexpected downturns Become a part of the Strong Towns revolution by shifting the focus away from top-down growth toward rebuilding American prosperity Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.
Download or read book A Guide to Parking written by International Parking Institute and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you own a car, use public transportation, go to work or school, use health care, shop or dine out, or are part of a metropolitan community, parking affects you, probably in more ways than you’ve thought about. Because parking has such a huge effect on what happens in cities and towns and how the greater transportation system functions, decision-makers are beginning to realize that it’s critical to employ parking expertise at the beginning of the planning process. Designing and implementing an effective, professionally managed parking strategy can mean the difference between frustrating and costly traffic congestion and efficient, time-saving traffic flow. A Guide to Parking provides information on the current state of parking, providing professionals and students with an overview on major areas of parking and the transportation and mobility industry, punctuated by brief program examples.
Download or read book A Carpark for Urban Growth written by Joshua L. Fisher and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the advent of the automobile, people started moving out to the suburbs to escape the dense and undesirable conditions of city life. The suburbs represented the American Dream; having your own house, white-picket-fenced yard, with a car and a couple of kids. In the United States, individualism and privacy are cherished qualities and the suburbs provide that. One setback to this dream was the nation would be heavily reliant on the personal automobile as a primary source of transportation. People were willing to commute between ten and thirty miles to and from work in order to have that American Dream; sprawl became the method for providing this type of lifestyle. Over the following decades as automotive technology was increasing and the symbolism of the car carried over into garage design; parking garages began to transform. As automobile design improved and vehicles became operable in all weather conditions; garages' concern to protect the automobile from the environment began to decrease, effecting parking garage design. Just as the car was an icon for freedom, people thought that parking garages should operate similarly. As the notion "to come and go" dominated, the concept of waiting for your vehicle via valet or elevator, clashed with that mindset. This led to self-park garages that have been dominant for the past half century. These garages have evolved into banal and sterile archetypes that only serve a function, and not how they interface with the context. The intent of this thesis is to propose a new perspective toward the design of parking garages within the urban context to a capacity that promotes urban growth. This proposal will make assessments on the drawbacks to urban parking garages as well as identify obstacles that impede urban development. The idea is by bringing these drawbacks to the foreground; solutions may be developed in a manner that not only improve qualities to both parking and urban progress, but also allows the parking garage archetype to transform from a space for storing your car into a place that becomes part of the urban experience. The downtown Market District of Roanoke, Virginia will be the backdrop to this thesis.
