Columns at garage building more often have square cross-section cutset. However on planning decision there can be expedient an application of columns of rectangular section; at placing of columns between places of parking the width of section of a column, as a rule, remains to a constant on all floors. The round columns, which are receiving a positive estimation of drivers and not demanding substantial growth of expenses, are used successfully.
For the device of overlapping almost all systems applied in usual many-storied building, for example the plates reinforced in one …

Erection of many-storied garages is justified when possibilities of creation of land parking places are settled. Use of the platforms intended for parking places, on other appointment can become the reason of building of many-storied garages also. Thus there is a question how on the same or even the smaller area to place bigger number of cars, than before? Placing of demanded premises one over another downwards or upwards became the most reasonable and expedient decision. So there were underground and land garages with a various layout and an operation …

Entrances and departures from garages should provide the good view, to be appreciable from apart and to settle down so that all transport maneuvers were carried out easily, without crossings and without creation of essential hindrances to traffic.
Between transport highway and a garage stage with a bias more than 5 % the horizontal platform in length not less than 5 m necessarily should be provided
With a view of improvement of the control of a zone of entrance and departure by attendants it is recommended to arrange entrance near to departure. …

I would like to speak in this article about stages.
Radiuses of curvilinear stages are estimated taking into account their bias. For transport lifting on height of several floors (for example, at industrial use of the ground floor of land garage or a thick layer ground filling for landing of green plantings and trees over the first deepen floor of underground garage) can arise necessity for radius increase in comparison with norms to keep a stage bias in admissible limits.
From two sides of carriage way the stage part should provide a …

Stages are an essential component of internal transport system of garages — from their form and the sizes depends throughput and functional suitability of all construction.
The type of stages gets out depending on number of places of parking and floors, an expected stream of cars, appointment of projected garage (long or short-term storage), a lay of land, conditions of connection with a high system and height of lifting and descents, and also from visibility conditions and system of the organization of movement in garage. In special cases there can be …

It is rather difficult to raise capacity of garage by a superstructure of new floors if it has not been provided in advance; otherwise on new top floors of garage it is necessary to refuse advantages of mechanical transportation of cars at separate stages of process of giving of cars, their vertical and horizontal transportation.
In all systems lifts submitting mechanisms and other mechanical devices cope from the panel, which is in a cabin of the lift and on the central post. In certain cases process of installation of the car …

I would like to speak about garages of special designs.
Let me say some words about combination of stages with mechanical devices. To garages of special designs put, first of all, those constructions where stages are used in a combination with mechanical devices. Thus the lift is applied to normal operation of garage, and during peak loadings the part of cars drives on stages or on the contrary, and storage process always should correspond to local traffic conditions and operational requirements of users.
Other combination of the mechanical device and stage is …

In the mechanized garages the car together with the driver, and more often empty, by means of external forces is transported from entrance to a parking lot and on the contrary — from a parking lot to departure. If at car transportation the mechanical way is used only on a way part to a parking lot such garage refers to the semi-mechanized constructions. An ideal variant is entirely automated servicing at full mechanization of process of storage. The interval limited to such limiting cases (semi-mechanized and completely automated garage), includes …

I would like to speak in this article about automated constructions. In other systems the driver himself drove to a cabin of the lift and left it on the necessary floor; the further mechanization of process of transportation has led to application of the automatic devices submitting the car in a cabin of the lift and returning it back. Submitting devices of various types are known. For example, in Germany system MAN with grabbing cart working by a following principle is extended: the car on own to a course approaches …

Nowadays you can meet very often garages with stages. They become rather popular among people and car owners very like to use them for parking their cars.
It is necessary to aspire to shortening of ramp ways, to avoid frequent change of directions of movement and long thoroughfares on floors. These requirements correspond to aspiration to increase of intensity of movement that in turn influences productivity of garage (number of serving cars in unit of time). Are usually most convenient for movement not too abrupt, direct or left-turned stages though …
