| Abstract: |
Rakesh Kapoor, born 1958, received his civil engineering degree from Delhi University, India. He worked for Consultants Companies in Delhi. His main area of experience is design of bridges and flyovers. An elevated road of 2.25Km is to be constructed over an arterial road in Aizawl city on hilly terrain passing through built up urban areas. Proposed viaduct has complicated geometry with closely spaced curves and variable grades. Constructing the viaduct on existing two-lane road in running traffic in a phased manner is the project challenge. Design has to complement the scheme of construction. |
