CHAPTER1

INTRODUCTION

Civil engineering is a strategically principal profession for each developed and setting up
countries. With creativity and technical knowledge, civil engineers plan, design construct,
preserve and operate infrastructure facilities essential to modern-day life, ranging from bridges
and highways to water and wastewater medication services and constructions. Civil engineering
is a wide discipline that spans a number of branches together with topics such as Structural
Engineering, Water assets Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Transportation Engineering
and Geotechnical Engineering. As international locations increase, and their populaces broaden,
and as environmental issues mount, civil engineering knowledge will probably be increasingly
wanted throughout the sector. Meeting the challenges of supplying housing and constructions,
infrastructure to control pollution, transportation hyperlinks, ingesting water and vigor wishes,
urban redevelopment and group planning are few examples of the problems civil engineers
resolve. Civil engineering presents huge career selections, starting from design, development,
study, planning, instructing, to administration. The department of structural engineering is
involved with the structural design and evaluation of structures, bridges, and different
constructions. This entails calculating the stresses and forces that act upon or arise within a
structure, and designing the structure to efficiently face up to those forces and stresses.
Resistance to wind and seismic loadings, mainly efficiency close resonant frequencies, which
influence the total balance of a constitution are important design issues. Different explanations
reminiscent of sturdiness and cost are additionally regarded. Moreover to design of latest
constructions, structural engineers could design a seismic retrofit for an present constitution to
mitigate undesirable efficiency in the course of earthquakes. Most civil and structural engineers
today take care of power plants, bridges, roads, railways, buildings, water supply, irrigation, the
natural atmosphere, sewer, flood manage, transportation and visitors. Civil and structural
engineering pursuits to improve and preserve the constructed and typical atmosphere with
excellent use of resources to increase the best of life for gift and future generations. Those
coming into the civil engineering subject are increasingly required to proceed their education
lengthy after bachelors graduation and are required to broaden their talents base to remain
competitive
1.1 Definition of a Flyover

In Civil Engineering it is also called as overpass means an intersection of two roads at which one
is carried over the other with the aid of a bridge (Aeronautics) the USA identify for fly-earlier

An overpass (referred to as a flyover in the United Kingdom and most Commonwealth nations)
is a bridge, road, railway or identical constitution that crosses over another road or railway. An
overpass and underpass together type a grade separation.[1]Stack interchanges are made from
many overpasses.

The flyover-bridge intersection is an intersection that has a designated bridge constructed over an
at-grade intersection to enable for the free float in two instructions on some of the main road to
develop capability of site visitors drift and scale down the traffic congestion in both of those
instructions, however underneath of the bridge, the prevailing traffic signalization continues to
be used to manipulate visitors because the quandary earlier than (Fig. 1). This model is used for
increasing traffic ability at a better intersection in suburb subject, there are 29 flyover
intersections in Thailand (apart from Bangkok and its vicinity) . On this study 5 present flyovers
have been selected covering all regions of Thailand.

According to the recommendations for controlling visitors at an intersection, it used traffic

quantity as standards to pick a style of junction, for traffic volume about 25,000 to 45,000
vehicles/day, two stages of control must be used. The flyover simplest enables site visitors flows
in the directions of the bridge, however the infrastructure are not able to wholly clear up the
entire issues notably on the secondary street. This study grants issues that still exist on the
flyover intersection and recommend upgrades to the problems

1.2 History

Overpass in Washington, D.C.

The world's first railroad overpass was once developed in 1843 through the London and Croydon
Railway at Norwood Junction railway station to hold its atmospheric railway autos over the
Brighton important Line.

The first overpass in India was once opened on 14 April 1965 at Kemps corner in Mumbai. The
48 ft (15 m) lengthy bridge used to be built in about seven months by Shirish Patel at a cost
US$970,000 in 2015).

KATHIPARA FLYOVER

Kathipara Junction is an important road junction in Chennai, India. It is located at Alandur at the
intersection of the Grand Southern Trunk Road, Inner Ring Road, Anna Salai and Poonamallee
High Road. Kathipara flyover is the largest cloverleaf flyover in Asia

CONSTRUCTION

The junction used to be a roundabout with a statue of Jawaharlal Nehru. A cloverleaf grade
separator was constructed as part of the NHDP to ease traffic congestion at the junction. The
structure was built at an estimated project cost of 486 crore (US$72 million) with an initial
deadline of March 2007. It is the first of three grade separators being built on the Inner Ring
Road to improve connectivity between the various National Highways radiating from the city, the
other two being the one on Koyambedu junction (NH 4) near the Chennai Mofussil Bus
Terminus and the one at Padi Junction (NH 205). The main span of the flyover connecting Inner
Ring Road and GST Road was opened to traffic on 9 April 2008 and the entire section was opened
to the public on 26 October 2008. Landscaping work worth 150 lakh (US$220,000) on the
40,000 sq m area will be taken up after Chennai Metro work is completed
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "BRIDGE" AND "FLYOVER"

The difference between Bridge and Flyover is based on the purpose of its usage and the location
where it is built.

Bridges

Bridges are built to connect two points separated by a naturally occuring region like valley, river,
sea or any other water bodies, etc.

They are usually lengthy depending upon the width of the valley or river.

Construction over river is tedious since foundation has to be carried out on the river bed.

Bridges are usually built for trains, buses and cars.

Fig 2.11 Typical Structure of a Bridge

Flyovers
It is a structure which joints two or more points which are separated by an accessible route/s or a
man made structure to cut the traffic for faster mode of travelling.
They are usually made over road junctions, roads, streets, etc.

The name itself suggests that you are flying over a traffic zone.

They are usually built for road vehicles.
