Description
Problems of parking space in urban towns and in all
places of large congregation is becoming a common issue around
the world. Over the years engineers and architects have come up
with a lot of solutions finding a way to create more parking spaces
within minimum size of land by the design and construction of
multi-storey car parks. This is line with the trend in modern cities
all over the world of developing high-rise buildings as to overcome
the challenges of urban over population, for optimal use of scarce
land resources, as status symbol, etc. Standing on the advances
made so far and the frequent problematics verified on existing
multi-storey car parks, this research presents the design of a
multi-storey car park for the mitigation of traffic challenges in
public areas using Canaan land, Ota Nigeria as a case study.
Canaan land, the seat of Faith Tabernacle in Ota, Ogun State of
Nigeria is used as a case study because of the amount of vehicles
that compete for parking space on Sundays or on other days of
events. The research consist of the creation of the architectural
drawings of the multi-storey car park with AutoCAD drafting and
the modelling, structural analysis and design using the software
Orion R16. The structural analysis and design were challenging
but good results were obtained, approach for more innovative
multi-storey car park identified
