Kuwait has one of the most prominent cars per square km ratio. Significant infrastructure upgrades continue. This paper mentions about multiple structural problems faced with a 3.2 km viaduct in one of the crowded main arterials of Kuwait City. The structural design should meet public needs with stability, strength, serviceability, economically and aesthetically. Any design starts with new ideas and hopes. Unfortunately, designs always go through scope creep due to the nature of highway projects. At the time of despair, it is well understood that engineers are created by time, critical thinking, and creativity in addition to education. This paper aims on introducing and discussing every challenge faced, starting from the beginning of design in Kuwait City. |
