We designed a precast parking building for client. Project location was in Lindesberg, Sweden. A parking building with total area of 3200 sq. m used precast elements like double T-slab, columns & inverted T&L shaped beams. We used StruSoft’s IMPACT & FEM design software to deliver this project within a month’s timeline.
About Client
The client is one of the biggest precast suppliers in Sweden and they have their own factories for concrete elements for frames and facades for tall residential and office buildings, but also for smaller buildings in wood or concrete.
Challenges
- As this was the precast parking building, Ramp was requited in double T-slab. Those connections were complicated.
- Due to geometry of project, one edges slanted double T-slab was required.
- Longer span of beams were required with less beam depth.
Solutions
- As this was a precast parking building, 7.5 m x 7.5 m grid of column was required. We used double T-slab to cater the requirement of longer span. We used Doble T-slabs instead of hollow core due to the truck movement load.
- Shop drawing were generated from IMPACT easily
- We used Prestressed beams with continuous support to reduce number of beam element.

Benefits to Client
StruEngineers team provided technical suggestions to client such as slanted ramp, prestressed beams to fulfil client’s requirement. IMPACT software helped to export Double T-slab element to shop drawing hassle free.
Taking well-thought-out measures and being a proactive catalyst ensured the successful implementation of the project. We could help client fulfil its requirement. The implementation has been executed in such a way that it reassures the client. With careful use of StruSoft AB’s IMPACT, FEM design software and an exclusively dedicated team working for the client reporting to a single point of contact, the client has a full proof plan for their endeavors.
