Parking Structures - Planning, Design, Construction, Maintenance and Repair

Drawing on the combined expertise of three of the world's leading parking structure experts, this updated edition provides the only single-source guide to planning, designing, and maintaining parking structures. It provides readers with design solutions, including material on how to ensure long-term durability, design for easy maintenance, select the most energy efficient lighting system, decide on the number and placement of entrances and exits, and avoid the most common construction pitfalls.
Reflecting recent advances in technological innovations, this volume features significantly revised mterial and contains five new chapters on the Americans with Disabilities Act, lighting, graphics, seismic design, and designing for maintenance. The Second Edition of Parking Structures offers architects, engineers, parking facility owners, and contractors a unique and comprehensive guide to designing safe and effective parking structures.In addition, institutions providing education courses for professional registration in related fields will benefit from this timely, authoritative account.
