Making Safer Cities from Damaged Foot-Over-Bridges
The urban foot-over-bridges are part of everyday life of citizens which provide access to transportation. In Mumbai, India on September 26, 2017 a major stampede happened on a railway foot over bridge. In many cities, the old foot-over-brigades are heavily damaged which may cause a fatal accident. How can we analyse a foot-over-bridge to understand level of safety? Which NDT techniques can provide us accurate analysis? How can we make a planning for a common policy to make our cities safer? It is indeed important to investigate the damages of foot-over-bridges to make our cities safer to avoid stampede. Some of the important aspects of the investigation of these foot-over-bridges are the strength of the concrete, damages of the steel element and severity in damages in the steel connections which causes the failure. Further in this research, a case study is illustrated of railway foot-over-bridge deteriorated with passage of time. The investigation found that the foot-over-bridge was completely damaged and need an urgent demolition for the safety of the citizens.
