MULTI-STOREY CAR PARKS A COST COMPARISON: STEEL VERSUS CONCRETE

Maskell, D.V., 1970. MULTI-STOREY CAR PARKS A COST COMPARISON: STEEL VERSUS CONCRETE. Fire Research Notes 834


ABSTRACT

This report seeks to show that where unprotected steelwork can be used in multi-etorey car park construction, it is a better economic proposition than the conventional reinforced concrete structure. The figures aft based on the overall costs of existing car parks, both concrete and steel, and even though the sample of steel car parks is rather small, the trend is noticeable and the possible savings quite large.
