I am going to go spelunk after work on the way home and then I can comment about it more intelligently. First construction site I've seen in Denver that has 24 hour security - it's making it very hard for me to go explore after hours!

It definitely looks like a parking garage from what I can tell, there is absolutely no other reason to have sloping floor decks. The ramp(s) must be on the interior. Bunt if you can see if you can get a picture of the interior, there has to be a ramp in there.

One-way slabs (which are the inverted T-slabs) are usually used because of the long distances they can span between columns. The inverted T-slabs are also usually precast. However this looks like a cast-in-place 2-way flat slab design, possibly post tensioned for the parking decks, but I can't tell from the pics we have. This design could easily support traffic loads as long as the columns are spaced close enough together and the slab is thick enough. From scaling off of the cars in the foreground, it appears that the floor slabs is roughly 8-10

I'll see if I can sneak some interior photos. Haven't seen any sign of post tensioning, but you could be right. Seems like an odd way to do it. But cost effective, I suppose.

Yes, pictures would be good. And covneniently, last weekend on my way to Winter Park I bought myself a little tiny 7.1 Canon for keeping in my pocket so i don't always have to lug around my SLR. The splurge was motivated by the skiing bikini girls, but rest assured, you will all benefit from my having a photographic weapon at the ready at all times!

Feel free to make available the skiing bikini girls so we can make sure the your camera is properly tuned.

Have a good weekend, all.

Thats hilarious because I just did the same exact thing, and mine was brought on by being up skiing and wanting a little camera with me at all times (unfortunately I didn't see the bikini girls). Which camera did you get? I picked up the Canon SD750.

#**608** Posted **Apr 21, 2007, 12:22 AM**

Canon S3 IS here. I will never buy a Nikon again.

LOL Oh and this Mexicano is not that short, I stand at 5'10/11" and weigh in at 195LBS Baby...

Gabe I got your back holmbre...

Oh yeah almost forgot 1LP is looking good!!!

bunt_q · #**610** Posted **Apr 21, 2007, 4:07 AM**

Close to the same, mine's the Canon SD800 IS.

I'm too lazy (and drinking) to pull off pics right now, but there is indeed a ramp on the Lincoln ride... at least, visible from that side now, but I assume that the access will be off of 20th Ave.

Took my first close (not in my truck) look at this bad boy... and those *are* thin slabs, prob 8 at best. The column spacing doesn't look to ever go over 20 or 30' (still excellent for condos - wish I could afford one)... Couldn't see where they were tensioning, but I'll find it when I'm not trying to take pics, talk on the phone, and not die at the same time. This is certainly not a spectator-friendly construction site.

EngiNerd · #**611** Posted **Apr 21, 2007, 5:53 PM**

They don't necessarily have to be post-tensioned slabs, it was just a thought. It would probably be pretty noticeable if they were, you would see the tendons or patching in section along the edge of the slab. If they are not there then its just a typical flat-plate slab design. I have done these before, it just requires a lot of rebar. Is the slab thickened at the column locations from what you can see?

Gabe, my money is on you. Wong is much like Glowrock.

Big mouths make easy targets!

Big words from someone who doesn't even know me. But, hey I'll take you and Gabe on at once. You won't even feel the soft embrace of death, probably because your spine will be separated from your body.

Took a closer look at 1LP today, the slabs are post-tensioned and I saw the ramp leading up from the ground floor (sucker was well hidden from the street). So those levels are parking.

Well, this is late and the question has already been answered, but since I am a dork (hey, look who's reading) I went to the Swinerton website and wrote an email inquiry about it - the concrete poured so far and why the slabs slope. They were nice enough to respond, so I thought I'd give the shout out:

Michael,

Thanks for your interest in the One Lincoln Park Project.

The first 7 floors above ground level are for parking (some retail) and do have slopes in them for the access ramp, and water drainage.

This is a very exciting project for us too. There's not too many chances to build a 32 story high-rise and change the skyline.

Cheers,

Kevin

32? I thought it was 31....extra floor surprise! w00t.

DenverCrow · #**619** Posted **Apr 30, 2007, 7:58 PM**

I just want the large frame to be visible above the skyline...is that too much to ask?

enjo13 · #**620** Posted **Apr 30, 2007, 8:11 PM**

As for progress: It looks like they've made some visible progress (finally). They' been pouring concrete pretty solidly for the last week or so. Looks like a new floor (the first of the actual tower) is ready to go in any day now. New supports have been poured all over.. got a pretty good look at it last night.
