Design Of Overhead Roadway At Road Intersection

This project deals with the Design of overhead-roadway located at CHALLENGE junction which is a T-junction. Analysis of the existing conditions was carried out to proffers solution to the cause of the problems occurring due to the vehicle competing for space at this intersection. Before carrying out the analysis a traffic surveys at peak hours for morning 0730 to 0830 am and afternoon 0300 to 0400 pm were conducted using 15 minutes interval. From the analysis it was found out that the peak hour factor and flow rate was 0.88 and 1656pcphpl respectively corresponding to LOS E. This implies that the capacity of the existing road is no longer able to accommodate the traffic flow hence overhead roadway was introduced to improve the efficiency of the intersection. The overhead-roadway is of 140 m length with 7 spans 20 m per span. It consists of a deck slab longitudinal girders cross girders deck beam pier foundation and retailing wall. All structural parts for this Flyover were designed using Staad professional software package and Manual method.
