Parking Garage Snow Removal
Parking Garage Snow Removal
(OP)
Maybe this isn't a structural question per se, but it becomes one when it's done wrong. Anyway, I was wondering what the options are for snow removal in a pretensioned parking garage. Salt corrodes and piling up mounds of snow can break double-T joists. What are other options? Any of you bridge guys have any creative solutions? Thanks.

2) If there's only one elevated deck, push the snow down the ramp leading up to it.
3) Pile the snow up in some designated area and leave it. This costs some stalls.
4) Construct one of those snow chutes that dcarr mentioned.
That's all that I know of. I visited a parkade with a combination of concepts 3 $ 4 last week. A photo is attached.
