Elevated Swimming Pool
Elevated Swimming Pool
(OP)
Dear All,
I wish to seek for your advises and guides on designing the above-mentioned subject. The main project is to construct shoopping complex plus apartments.
Instead of inground, the swimming pool will be build on the third floor of the building. I have yet to find a structural guide on how to design the elevated swimming pool. Could anyone share a link if they have about this subject? What factors shall I have to take a great care of? I believe check for crack width is important and deflection of the slabs?
Thanks for your help in advanced.

2) Obviously, you've got that rather large seismic sloshing mass to consider. And perhaps a mass discontinuity.
3) Issues surrounding water-tightness as you've mentioned.
It's nice if you've got a pool consultant on board to help out.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

Stainless (316, not 304) is the way to go, especially for an existing building. No leaks after 50 years.
