Walder Sharp have undertaken the structural appraisal of the AA multi-storey car park in Basingstoke as first phase of a refurbishment program. The early seventies reinforced concrete frame structure presented signs of deterioration and Walder Sharp carried out some advance FE model analysis of the structure to ascertain the possibility to comply with the newest IStructE design recommendations, such as the increased imposed load from 2.5kN/m2 to 3.0kN/m2.
