In Pune District Ferrocement Society(NGO) has encouraged Prof Ambegaonkar to build a samll dam in ferrocement. This dam is useful to recharge the ground water.

We are thankful to Mr Girish Sangle for submitting this picture to us.

The South Runway Expansion Project continues to progress at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL). In 2012, FLL served 23.5 million passengers. The Project is extending the South Runway (9R/27L) from 5,276 feet to 8,000 feet, giving the Airport two parallel commercial runways. Parallel runways can increase airport capacity dramatically. When completed, the expanded South Runway will accommodate up to 27 percent more flights into and out of FLL. That’s a potential increase from 84 to 107 flights per hour. Motorists, trains and pedestrians will pass under the new Runway through a series of tunnels.The South Runway Expansion Project is expected to create over 11,000 jobs during construction. The Project is currently contributing more than one million dollars each day to the local economy. The new South Runway is scheduled to open in September of 2014. Additionally, the airport has commenced wetland restoration/mitigation activity at West Lake Park, in Hollywood, Florida, and recently completed the pilot phase of a $170 million noise mitigation program. Beyond the direct economic impact, there are countless additional economic benefits that will be derived by the on-going activity during the construction period. The project is funded by the Federal Aviation Administration, the Florida Department of Transportation, and Passenger Facility Charges. FLL operates under the governance of the Broward County Board of County Commissioners and is an Enterprise Fund of Broward County, receiving no local tax revenues to support operations.

Runway Structures Construction

In case of large water-table exact below the structure we should provide Cross bars in slab at columns as shown in picture to reduce bending due to the Uplift pressure of Water.

We are thankful to Darshan Vekariya for submitting this picture to us and helping civil engineers understand the cross bars reinforcement at columns.

The cable stayed bridge connects to National Highway 1 near existing T-point at Wazirabad on Western bank and Marginal Bund Road at Khajuri Khas on eastern bank of the river Yamuna. The deck of bridge will be composite i.e steel and concrete while pylon will be in steel.

The bridge is expected to be completed in Dec 2012 and will cost around Rs 1,131 crore.
