Urban population in Surat city has been witnessing rapid growth over the years as evidenced by the fact that the percentage of urban population of the city increased from 27% to 32% in 2001 and is accepted to increase to 50% by 2050. This increase in urban population has major implications for infrastructure systems, which are accepted to support the needs of the growing population and plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of these areas. The quality of infrastructure services available in the city governs, to a large extent, the quality of life their citizens have. However, the continuous growth in population without a corresponding upgrading of infrastructure services have seriously compromised the ability of this service to function at peak efficiency levels. The pressure on the water supply, sewerage, drainage, solid waste management services is evident from the results of data obtained from research by government and non-government organizations. Data derived from study on infrastructure services across various cities suggest that water is available for an average of 2.9 hours per day across cities and towns in India and non-revenue water including physical and revenue losses accounts for 40-60 percent of total water supply. Around 50% do not have sewerage connection and less than 20 % of waste water is treated.

In this technological era, development of infrastructures such as railway, roadway, bridges, special buildings etc. are increasing tremendously. Due to paucity of useful land and strength of soil, engineers have to improve soil properties like shear strength, bulk density, permeability, void ratio, water holding capacity etc. by adopting different ground improvement techniques. The one of the method among ground improvement techniques is reinforcing the soil with materials like steel, stainless steel, aluminium, fibers, fiber glass, nylon, and polyester, polyamides in the form of other strips or grids, combination of grids and Geotextiles. The main purpose of reinforcing a soil mass is to improve its stability, increasing its bearing capacity and reduce Settlements and Lateral deformations. Geotextiles and geomembranes, widely speaking are synthetic fibres used to stabilize structures built on soil having poor conditions. Lots of ground improvement techniques are available in today’s market. Such as vibro compaction, vibro replacement, ground freezing, grouted stone columns, dry deep soil mixing, vacuum consolidation, preloading, heating etc. Among them geocell reinforcement is recently developed technique. The aim of this study is to increase bearing capacity of soil in railway embankment by ground improvement technique named as "geocell".

Unrivalled urban growth is a major issue that the cities of developing nations are facing difficulty to cope with. The mushrooming of slums which perfuse the cities are the visible sign of this failure. UN-Habitat defines slum as “an area having poor structural quality of housing, overcrowding, inadequate access to safe water, inadequate access to sanitation and other infrastructures and insecure residential status”. In Millennium Development Goals, for the assessment of slums, UN-Habitat defined a framework based on the above five characters. ISO 37120 also defines Shelter as one of the key indicators for Sustainable City, where major shelter indictors are focusing on the slum population of a city. For making the cities sustainable and live able, slum free city should be one of the key missions. Presence of slum has been one of the major factors affecting the live ability of any city. For a smart and sustainable city, continuous monitoring of slum is inevitable for the enhancement of living standard and making them more live able. This paper discusses about the role of Indicators be as a tools that would help in the formulation of policies which would lead the cities towards the complete slum eradication. Selection of indicators should be such that the monitoring of that particular parameter will ultimately results into the improvement of quality of life of slum dwellers and finally make the city Slum Free. This paper discusses about the definition of slum and the slum eradication policies and programs by UN-Habitat and Indian Government. Paper also focuses on the framework for slum free cities and development of indicators for continuous monitoring of the same.

Today world is growing rapidly and the living standards of society is improving due to development in each and every field. Due to evolution of new affordable technologies world has become small and faster. Despite availability of many infrastructural facilities, the growth in population has outpaced all efforts of development so far. Slow pace of development in villages and pursuit of better life style has led to huge migration from villages to cities. For most villages on one hand some essential infrastructural facilities like children playground, public garden, etc. have been over looked and on the other hand provided infrastructural facilities like drinking water, drainage, etc. have become insufficient. In the present study, Rurbanization of Uchchal village of the Tapi district is carried out. Efforts have been made in this work to identify and plan some of the new infrastructural facility as well as up gradation of existing facilities as per the needs of future population. Selection of infrastructural facilities has been made based on the most urgent needs of people as well as environmental protection and modernization.

In present day constructions, many high rise apartment buildings are constructed in which frame is the most common structural form. Generally, in multi storey buildings only frames are not sufficient to take horizontal force, which is produced by earthquake or wind, as stiffness or ductility of the frame is less. To enhance the stability of building against lateral loads there are different kinds of techniques are used such as base isolation method, bracings, providing shear wall etc., in which we have adopted provision of shear wall in building design. Analysis of shear wall thus becomes necessary for stiffness and stability purpose that can be much utilized for safety in building. In this project, the parametric study of RC framed structure with and without provision of shear wall is to be carried out and parameters like shear force, bending moment, storey drift etc. will be checked by using software like ETABS.

Calculation of wind induced loads is essential for design of tall structures. With the advancements in computer technologies, CFD simulations are now a good alternative for wind tunnel tests for knowing the wind induced responses of a structure. In current scenario, presence of nearby structures exhibit Interference effects. In this paper, CFD simulation is carried out for a particular arrangement of group of tall buildings. Pressure coefficients on the same have been studied using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. Buildings of different heights are taken into consideration. The effect of different wind incidence angles on the pressure coefficients on all the faces of Principal Building has been investigated. Also, the pressure coefficient contours on all the faces of all buildings for wind incidence angles of 0°, 30°, 60° and 90° are plotted. ANSYS CFX is used for carrying out the CFD simulation.

The effectiveness of multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMD) for vibration control of structure over a single tuned mass damper (STMD) is investigated in the paper. A base isolated structure supported with MTMD is considered and the governing differential equations of motion are derived. The response of the structure under four selected earthquake ground motions is obtained by solving the equations of motion numerically using the state space method. A parametric study is also conducted to investigate the effects of important parameters such as number of dampers in MTMD, damper frequency spacing, mass ratio, tuning ratio. It is found that for a given structural system and level of excitation an optimum value of the parameters (i.e. frequency spacing, tuning ratio) exists at which the peak displacement of structure attains its minimum value. The response time history of the structure with STMD and MTMD with respect to their optimum parameters is compared. It is found that the MTMD is more effective in controlling the response of the structure in comparison with the STMD having the same mass.

Now a day, the population is biggest problem in India, to overcome that, there is need of vertical development instead of horizontal development. And therefore there is a demand of Tall structures. Structural frame only are not sufficient to stand against various loading act on the building. In RC building, Shear wall is the most appropriate structure form, which improves structural behavior in tall buildings. This resists lateral loads like wind & earthquake force efficiently and therefore studying of the shear wall in structural system is necessary. In this study the behavior of the R.C. building with shear wall is analyzed by providing openings in the shear wall and the resultant parameters like displacement, time period, stiffness etc. are compared by using structural software ETABS.

Concrete is an absolute essential material use for construction. Despite of its versatility in construction. It is known to have several limitations. It is having limited ductility and less resistance to cracking, so concrete structure suffers a large amount of distortions in strength under the effect of external forces. Some recently developed materials and technique can play virtual role in structural repair, strengthen and retrofitting of existing building, weather damaged or undamaged condition. By use of standard and innovative repair material appropriate technology, proper quality control, are the key factors for strengthen and retrofitting of concrete. The main objective of our study is to suggest best innovative material and techniques to enhance the strength of concrete. The natural calamities such as earthquake, tsunami is not in our control but solution to the damaged structure is available with engineers through retrofitting and rehabilitation technique.

One common type of multi-storeyed building having raft foundation resting on different type of soil i.e. soft soil, medium hard soil, hard soil. This multi-storeyed building compared with seismic parameter using software aid. And an attempt is made here to compare seismic parameter on multi storeyed building having raft foundation resting on three different type of soil i.e. hard soil, medium hard soil, and soft soil. And also made to understand the effect of soil flexibility on the performance of building frames resting on raft foundation. Our project involves comparative study of seismic parameter of multistoried building having raft foundation with different soil type using very latest designing software SAP2000. The building is subjected to both the vertical loads as well as horizontal loads. The vertical loads consist of dead load of structural components such as beam, column, slab etc. The horizontal load consist of seismic load. Thus these multistoried will be design for live load, dead load, as per IS 456-2000 and seismic load as per IS 18930-1993 and other than earthquake design load as per IS 875 (part-1, 2, 3). The building will be analyzed for the maximum and a minimum bending moment and shear force by using software SAP2000.

Configuration is very much important for good seismic performance of the building. To makes the structure having good aesthetics and functionally effective, both shape and structural system must be sound enough. The wide range of the damages observed during past earthquakes across the world due to poor configuration. A building with simple geometry in plan has performed well during strong earthquake with compare to complex shape as symmetry is maintained. When irregular shapes are included in a building, a higher level of engineering efforts is required to make the structure good earthquake resistant. In these paper ill effects of irregularity which includes Time period, axial load, bending moment, her force, and torsion is reduced to remarkable extent by providing crumple section, which converts an irregular E-shape building into regular one. A building is analyzed having regular and irregular shape under the effect of earthquake loading by using latest software Aid. Analysis make possible to plan an irregular structure even in earthquake prone areas.

Central Business Districts (CBD) are certain areas of traffic attraction due to the rapid urbanization, growing population, and increasing commercial and economic activities. More population generate a large number of vehicles, leading to conflict with vehicles and congestion. It in turn adversely affects the ultimate goal of efficient mobility of the citizens. The CBD is likely to offer high accessibility with the provision of transportation infrastructures; it is also threatened by mobility challenges resulting in low productivity and loss of man-hours, thus adversely affecting the overall wellbeing of residents. This research observes the challenges of traffic congestion and management problems within Surat CBD, on a major arterial known as, ‘Rajmarg’ having a 2.4 km of length. Researchers obtained data through identification of land use (ground truthing), cross-section road inventory, and observing major traffic activity. For addressing the traffic congestion, classified volume count survey and pedestrian count of 3 days i.e. Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (videography), speed and delay survey (using android based mobile application “My Tracks”). Findings exposed an irregular land use pattern, resulting in traffic and transportation bottleneck, vehicular conflicts and unnecessary traffic congestion, longer travel time and loss of human hours during a day-time. The paper deliberates the need for a review of CBD -Surat by the execution of the planning and regulatory rules for effective traffic management.

Huge quantities of blast furnace slag, is being generated in the steel plants during the extraction of iron from iron ores, and they are normally dumped in and around the plant occupying a large land area apart from causing significant environmental problems. Granular Blast Furnace Slag (GBFS) resembles to cohesion less granular material and is observed to contain mostly the sand-size particles. Therefore, the industrial wastes like Granular Blast Furnace Slag (GBFS) if used as a substitute to good quality borrow soils for base/ sub-base course in flexible pavements or as an embankment material, it may significantly decrease the construction cost apart from increasing the sustainable development. This study is carried out to utilize the slag in embankment construction. Being cohesion less material, it is mixed with local soil collect from Suvali near Eassar steel Ltd. As, the embankment/subgrade having high strength, can resist to deformation and increase the stability of the pavement. If the parent soil does not have good engineering properties can achieved with the use of additives/stabilizer. This additives/stabilizer is mixed with the soil materials to get desired improvement. This study focus on mechanical stabilization of parent soil (CH type) using GBFS. The CBR tests are conducted to check the four day soak strength of the soil mixed with the GBFS in different range (10 %, 15 % and 20 % by mass). The results of these tests are comparing with soil stabilized with lime (3, 4 and 5 % by mass) and cement (0.5, 1 and 1.5 % by mass) with different proportion.

After the first stage of transportation planning i.e. trip generation, it is necessary to determine the direction of travel. The number of trips generated in various zones of the area under study has to be apportioned to the various zones to which these trips are attracted. These generated trips from each zone are then distributed to all other zones based on the choice of destination i.e. Trip distribution. This paper gives a framework for the trip distribution for the city of Vadodara based on a Household Survey, as the data is main input for O-D matrix. The trips are combination of work trips, shopping trips, recreational trips and religious trips.

Cities in the developing countries in general and India in particular, are in search of sustainable solutions to their accessibility and mobility issues. The process is complicated due to the rapid pace of urbanization, which is characterized by motorization, the co-existence of motorized and non-motorized modes, deteriorating public transport services and institutions and deteriorating air quality. A variety of modes such as walking, cycling, two-wheelers, Para-transit, public transport, cars etc. are used to meet the travel needs in urban areas. Public transit systems world over are struggling to complete with private modes and the shift is noticeable in the developing countries as well; the predominant modes being cars, two wheelers and other intermediary modes. At present, public transport becomes financially less viable, speeds reduce, and congestion levels increase and the transportation becomes a source of environmental problem. So, to compete with these requirements BRTS is one of the most solutions of these problems. The aim of the present paper is to introduce BRTS which is the sustainable solution for public transport services in urban area of Indian city. This paper highlights how we can improve the public transport through BRTS on the basis of literature.

Significant growth in population, urban activities, travel demand and traffic flow has been observed in most of our metropolitan cities in recent time, leading to considerable travel time delays. And it is the important transportation parameter to indicate the efficiency of the movement of the people and freight. This paper precisely attempts to address the traffic congestion measurement employing travel speed profiles obtained from V-Box. Though number of traffic congestion measuring indices are available today the simplest and an effective way of presentation of congestion of enroute stretches is missing. The present study emphasize on this particular approach to make use of speed profile diagrams by conducting speed and delay survey studies on ‘Udhana- Sachin’ one of the stretches of major corridor in Surat. The travel speed indices have been developed to describe the traffic congestion scenario on the road stretch.

The existing GSRTC bus station in Surat is located at Delhi Gate and as per the observations made in 2015, it faces the dilemma of inadequate space. Buses did not depart from the platforms provided within the premises. The recent renovations have been noticed but the problem of traffic congestion due to the central bus station being in the west of the railway station and the central bus depot being in the east, still prevails. It is proposed to plan a new Central Bus Station in the nearby area on L.H. Road, with improved services. Also an approach road to be constructed, connecting the newly proposed bus station with Sahara Darwaja. The proposed bus station would increase the passenger handling efficiency and would decrease the traffic in station area. It would also accommodate the GSRTC offices, employee quarters, bus depot, a fire station, a fuel station and a shopping mall with multiple.

Everyone dreams of a beautiful house, comfortable conveyance and a useful workspace. In between and around comes the remaining infrastructure. Though essential, it is still secondary on the minds of people. The primary concern of every working individual is to have these three essentials. While all these are to be fulfilled by him or his employer, it is the responsibility of government to provide, maintain and upgrade the required infrastructure with time. The government is also entrusted to educate and make people (users) aware of standard methods of using these utilities, to make them last longer and in aesthetically useful condition. The modern cities of India are reeling under multiple problems due to tremendous migration. A heterogeneous mix of urban population poses cultural and economic difference in life style and behavior. A serious concern among others is providing a safe, contemporary and cost effective solution to all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists, which are two significant mode of green travelling in urban places. Many countries greatly promote these modes of urban travel yet in India it is still perceived as financially deprived man’s compulsion. It is important to make legal provisions and technical specifications to facilitate users to go for green and healthier transport which also needs paradigm shift of masses. With mass transport system being the order of day, feeder transport like cycles have potential to serve the purpose in perfectly effective manner. The aspects of urban green transport are discussed in present study in context of Rajkot city of Gujarat, India.

In this paper main emphasis is put on methods for improvement of soft ground with the use of vibro compaction methods, Vacuum consolidation, Soil nailing, Grouting methods and dewatering methods. Vibro-compaction increases the density of the soil by using powerful depth vibrators. Vacuum consolidation is used for improving soft soils by using a vacuum pump. Preloading method is used to remove pore water over time. Vibro replacement stone columns improve the bearing capacity of soil whereas Vibro displacement method displaces the soil. Many ground improvement techniques are available to suit the particular needs of soil type, structure type and performance criteria. These techniques offer cost effective solutions, whilst reducing construction period considerably. Furthermore, these techniques also offer environmental friendly systems, which is important for urban areas.

Keywords : Dewatering, Grouting, Soil nailing, Vibrocompaction, Vibrodisplacement

Land is a resource and at the same time, it is non-renewable. So it should utilize very carefully. The constitution of India grants the right to acquire hold and dispose of property to every Indian citizen. It, however, allows the state to impose restrictions on property and its acquisition in public interest. Different states like Haryana, M.P., U.P., Punjab and Tamilnadu have formulated Land Supply Models Keeping in focus the land requirements for urban poor. In this paper, different urban land management techniques used in different region of India are study by urban land management models.

There is increasing demand for facilities in urban areas, which result in several negative effects like undeveloped rural areas, ignorance of lower class group, demolitions and several destructions. Many people; mainly farmers who move to cities in search of better life and better occupational opportunities end up as casual labour. This leads to menacing problem of urbanization- THE GROWTH OF SLUM.Nani Naroli is one of the villages of Surat district belonging to mangrol taluka. Emphasizes is to made for on rural development that is the process of improving the quality of life and economic well-being of people living in relatively isolated and scarcely populated area. Change in global production network and increased urbanization have changed the characteristics of rural areas which are drastically affecting the environment condition and the standard of living. Thus, the need for rural community to approach development for wider prospective has created more focus on broad range of development goals rather than simply creating incentive for agriculture and resource based business. Thus the main purpose this project is to model out the identification of channel through which segmentation in market results in migration of people and steps to reduce the uneven economic growth that emerge as consequence of detroiting economic growth of the country. Efforts have been made for recognition of the basic amenities that are not available to the people as well planning and identifying of infrastructure facilities for the up gradation as per the need of future population. Thus the problems are thereby resolved by the joint efforts of Gujarat Technological University with the students and government offices by conducting a systematic based analysis of problems and solving it by allocating required fund for the desired problem which is termed as VISHWAKARMA PROJECT. The decisions are made on the most urgently needs creating a balance between the environmental conditions and the modernization.
