Elevated Swimming Pool Construction Guide | PDF | Building - Scribd
A rooftop pool exerts live load (people, waves) and dead load (the water, tile, concrete). One cubic meter of water weighs 1,000 kg (2,205 lbs). A 10m x 4m pool with a 1.5m depth holds 60,000 kg of water. That is equivalent to parking 40 cars in the same spot.
Rooftop swimming pools present unique engineering challenges due to the combined loads of water, occupants, and equipment on an elevated structure. This report outlines critical construction details to ensure structural safety, waterproofing integrity, and long-term durability.
