Hi, I'm a structural eit and I have a lot size that's 80' x 280'. I need at least 300 parking spaces indoors, but because the building is so narrow, it would prove uneconomical for indoor ramped parking. I tried a few configurations already, and for 300 cars, I'll need to go up to 8 stories. The only other option to keep the costs low would be to use an automated parking system that would get the number of spaces I need in 3 stories. I called an automated parking company called Westfalia USA, but I couldn't get a ballpark for the amount of load that each floor level that would be placed onto the foundation. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can obtain this information or the technical specs for automated parking structures? Thank you.
