The aesthetic advantages of cast-in-place concrete parking structures are demonstrated in project case studies. The ease with which architectural treatments of exposed concrete are achieved is a definite advantage of cast-in-place concrete structures. A notable example is the Williams Square West Garage in Irving, Texas, shown above. In this structure, the concrete in exposed perimeter elements was made with a crushed granite aggregate. The concrete for the interior beams, slabs and columns used a more economical crushed limestone aggregate. To fully reveal the color of the granite, perimeter surfaces were sandblasted.
