Abstract

The site of Y-shaped Flyover Bridge is at the junction of steel city, Bhilai and the city of Durg.It is being constructed at Raipur Naka over the rail lines leading to three different directions i.e. towards Mumbai, Howrah and Dalli Rajhara. The flyover is being built under a joint venture of BSP, SECR and CG Govt. and the estimated cost of the project is a around 12crores.The prime importance of the construction of flyover is to reduce the traffic congestion and to ease its flow at peak hours when the crossings remain closed for a quite long time due to movement of rails and due to it the structure is resting on end bearing piles i.e. on hard strata materials. Therefore a detailed soil material investigation is carried out in this research paper, which is useful for public welfare.
