ABSTRACT
The construction of the three No. cantilever type car parking bay at the College of Engineering was carried out by using galvanized hollow circular steel stanchions. Before the erection of the cantilever car parking bay; site visits and clearance, setting out and excavation processes were done in order to achieve quality work. The height of the stanchions used was 2.4m, the width was 4m and length was 8.1m, and the breadth, length, and depth of the foundation were 300x400x600 respectively. The stanchions were properly erected vertically with the use of spirit level and builders’ line while a concrete mix of 1:2:4 was used for the foundation work. The cantilever car parking bay comprises of four (4) stanchions to make three car parking bay. The galvanized steel was cut into various sizes as specified in the drawing plan before the welding was done. The aluminum roofing sheet was used for the roofing throughout. The connection made for the galvanized hollow steel circular stanchions was made to a standard that no adverse effect or failure will affect it when subjected to significant stresses or applied load.
