Abstract: Bhutan is landlocked country situated in Himalayan region of south Asia. In Himalaya complex geology is found. This region poses unexpected geological challenges and high construction risks. The Mangdechhu Hydroelectric Power Plant (HEPP) is one of the major project under Bhutan initiative to generate 10,000 MW Hydropower by 2020 with the support of Republic of Indian Government. The Mangdechhu...
Abstract: This paper discusses challenges in planning, designing of new railway track parallel to existing track between Laxmipur road Station and Baiguda Station in Odisha State of India. Numerical model of the existing tunnel, proposed tunnel and surrounding rockmass is prepared and analysed. The results of this analysis indicate that the stresses developed in the rock mass surrounding both the tunnels...
Abstract: The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation’s (MMRC), Mumbai Metro line 9 project involved the construction of three closely spaced tunnels. The close proximity of these tunnels necessitates the examination of the influence of multiple closely spaced tunnel openings on ground deformation. It consists of parallel twin stabling tunnels of new metro and storm water tunnel. The different construction...
Abstract: Pune is ranked 9th most population in India and in last decade the city has witnessed a rise in population as the people are migrating from different part of the country for job opportunities, which has put the city travel infrastructure to stress. There was a growing need for mass rapid transportation, however most of project is elevated viaduct consisting of prestressed concrete girders...
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to analyse the impact of bored tunnels on nearby flyover pile foundation and rock formation. The study covers the series of developments of tunnel excavation close to existing pile foundation. Impacts of excavation on the existing structures are studied using suitable standard software. Model outputs will be cross verified in the field and then validated. For...
Abstract: The metro rail system introduced in major Indian cities in recent years has resulted in significant improvements in the country’s transportation infrastructure and intra-city connectivity. Rail-based ‘Mass Rapid Transit System’ has been widely accepted as a solution for most of the traffic and environmental pollution related problems which major cities throughout the world are facing now. Pune...
