Multi-Storey Car Park 2
Project Information
The objective of this assignment is to establish whether the stability of a multi-storey
carpark has been put in to account to cater for loadings as well as wind effects exposed on the
structure. The car park is proposed to be erected at the Wolverhampton Molineux Stadium. This
will maximize the available parking area as less ground area is utilized. The car park is to be six
storey with each floor having an area of 1518.75 square metres.
The design has been done as per the British and European Standards as well as the
Building Regulations 2000.
The site-wide information available at the design stage is that the area has an underlying
clay and sandstone. From the hydrology and geological survey of the site, the underlying clay is
stiff and it is consistent. The water table is way below 5 metres from the ground level. The
column footings are expected to be up to 2 metres below the ground level. At this level, the soil
has a bearing capacity of approximately 250KN/ Sq. metres (Buckland 2018)
