Covered Car Park
Covered Car Park
(OP)
Hi All,
For covered car park, what loadings do you usually need to consider? Do we need to include uplift in the design also?
Thanks for your help.

Yes. Figures 27.4-4 through 27.4-7 (in ASCE 7-10) cover wind uplift on the roofs of open structures.

With regards to vehicle impact,...put it in the drilled pier. Which you have,....yes?
But seriously, don't let this be your first carport without direct, within area of practice (say carports) senior mentor-ship. Again IMHO,...others will disagree. Higher a guy who's done it,....give him your fee (plus some more because you didn't charge enough, we never do), pay careful attention to his calcs, hopefully they are stellar, and then do the next one yourself. Again IMHO. Have a super day!
