Abstract:
Parking structures in the United States are subjected to different thermal, moisture, and chemical environments. This article primarily deals with ob-served deterioration and distress of open, unheated parking structures located in climates where deicing salts are used on nearby roads and highways. Some of the observations made, however, may apply to other structures and exposures. [Author]
