City Creek Center Parking Structure
2011 ACI Intermountain Region Excellence in Concrete
Reaveley Engineers teamed with MKA Engineers on the design of the City Creek Center. The project consists of retail, office, and residential space over four levels of below-grade parking that spans 20 acres (two city blocks) in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. With a particular focus on safety and comfort, the owner required there be no interior walls in the parking garage. The structure is 500-600 feet long in each direction and visually appealing to users. In addition to corrosion modeling and life-cycle costing, Reaveley developed a matrix for methods of dealing with shortening of concrete due to shrinkage and temperature changes. Reaveley designed and was structural engineer-of-record for street ramps, tunnels, loading areas, and other miscellaneous structures. The experience designing this mixed-use project enhances our expertise in integrating retail/office tower structural systems over below-grade parking structures.
