Its a brief analysis of one world trade center from architectural perspective. It also provides the idea of design concept used to build this building.
The Kingdom of Bahrain translates as "Two Seas"—is actually an archipelago of 33 low-lying islands located in the heart of the Gulf. Situated along traditional Arabian and international trade routes between Asia and the West, the Kingdom has served as an important port and center of business for thousands of years. Today, the capital city of Manama is a vibrant cosmopolitan center offering an open society and an educated workforce enhanced by modern cultural am entities like museums, shopping, restaurants and fine hotels.Though modest in population, land area and resources, Bahrain has achieved considerable social and economic status. Our modern roads, international airport, telecommunications, public services, medical facilities and schools are considered among the best in the Middle East, if not the world.Located just 25 kilometres from Saudi Arabia and the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, Bahrain is easily accessible by sea, air and even automobile via the King Fahd Causeway. Completed in 1986, the causeway provides a symbolic and virtual link between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, connecting the archipelago to mainland Arabia for the first time since people first inhabited the islands. Today, the causeway serves as a vital link to the entire Middle East.
The Kashmir Railway is perhaps the most difficult new railway line project undertaken on the Indian subcontinent by the Government of India. The terrain passes through the young Himalayas, which are full of geological surprises and numerous problems. The alignment for the line presents one of the greatest railway engineering challenges ever faced, with the only contest coming from the Qingzang Railway in Tibet that was completed in 2006 and crosses permanently frozen ground and climbs to more than 5,000 m (16,000 ft) above sea level.

An Expressway is a highway especially planned for high- speed traffic, limited points of access or exit, and a divider between lanes for traffic moving in opposite directions. Also called Freeway, limited access highways, superhighway, thruway.
Yamuna Expressway is a 6-lane, 165 km long, connecting Greater Noida with Agra in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. The expressway starts from Greater
Noida and ends at Kuberpur on NH 2 towards Kanpur and Agra. The total project cost was 128.39 billion , its construction began in December 2007 and inaugurated on 9 August 2012. A total of 13 service roads of about 168 km have been built for local commuters to access the expressway
CASE STUDY-CHENNAI TO SALEM
Salem City located at the South west of Chennai with an aerial distance of about 280 Km. The present NH Route from Chennai to Salem along NH45 & NH68 via Ulundurpet is 345 Km and along NH4, NH64 & NH7 via Krishnagiri is 360 Km
The traffic density on both the roads is increasing day by day as it covers so many towns, thus direct traffic from Chennai to Salem and leading to Coimbatore and Kerala found much difficult. Hence a direct NH from Chennai to Salem as Expressway in between the above two routes via Thiruvannamalai will serve the purpose of easy traffic.
CHENNAI TO SALEM EXPRESSWAY
This study for Constructing Expressway from Vandalur to Salem is prepared based on the primary data and information, inquiries, inspection, reconnaissance survey.
Since the cost of land is higher in Vandalur–Walajabad road, the expressway will be constructed as an elevated corridor on both side of existing 6 lane road by utilizing the existing Right of Way.
The Expressway crosses NH234, 10km from Thiruvannamalai. For the vehicles coming from Thiruvannamalai an approach to
The cost of construction including Land Acquisition for this project may be recouped within 10 to 11 years by BOT.
After this period this property will be owned by Government and the Expressway will be allowed to all vehicles without tolling

14. Geological Features
Heterogeneous soil near portals to trap and Quartzite in the middle.
Fault zones encountered.
Limestone region encountered where heavy water inflow can occur.
The general trend of mountain range and strike direction of bedding
is NW-SE.
Folding is there in central areas.
The types of rocks are mainly limestone, andesite, basalt, quartzite
and sandstone.
15. Design of tunnels
Normal tunnels adopted by railways – D shape for single broad
gauge line.
Improvised design – Elliptical shape (300 % more efficient than D
type).
For tunnels of length > 3 km – Horse shoe section with 3 m wide
jeepable pathway for rescue operations.
LINES : Some of the yards have either ends in tunnels for which
two line or three line sections will be designed.
16. Project management
The project is being implemented by three principal agencies:
Northern Railway Construction Organisation (NRCO)
Konkan Railway Construction Limited (KRCL)
IRCON International Limited
The railway Board is responsible for technical
guidance and co-ordination of overall progress.
17. The project is funded by the Govt. of India and the Ministry of Finance is
responsible for providing finances.
KRCL is in the charge of the Katra-Laole section which is the toughest portion of the
line with most of the line comprising of either tunnels or bridges.
HCC constructed the Banihal Tunnel, 11.215 km long, across the Pir Panjal range.
AFCONS with Ultra Engineering will design and construct the Chenab Bridge for
US$130 million.
Gammon India with Archirodon Construction will build the Anji Khad Bridge for
US$100 million.

19. Most Challenging part of the Project
Chenab Bridge.
Pir Panjal Tunnel.
Anjikhad Bridge.
All of the three lies in Katra – Qazigund section which consists of :
Length = 142 km.
Major bridges = 62. ; Minor bridges = 132.
Tunnels = 84.
Track in tunnels = 63 %. ; Track on bridges = 11.45 % .
No. of Station = 12.
20. Chenab Bridge
Mega bridge over Chenab river has been planned near
Salal village.
The rail height from the river bed will be 359 m which
will make it the tallest rail bridge in the world.
The main arch will have a span of 465 m which gives
another distinction to this bridge being the longest
single span railway arch bridge in the world.
A very elaborate procedure has been followed as there
is no Indian Code for designing mega structures.
Since the area is prone to terrorist attacks, the blast
load has been taken into consideration for design.
25. Pir Panjal Tunnel (T-80)
It is 11 km long aligned in almost N-S direction.
The method for tunnelling used is NATM (New Austrian
Tunneling Method).
The tunnel is the longest in India and the third longest in
Asia.
It is lower than the existing road tunnel and will be much less
vulnerable to snow.
Problems in using TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine)
Portal areas are situated in fluvio-glacial sediments, i.e. soft
ground.
No bidder was prepared to mobilize two TBMs.
Fault zones hindered the use of TBM.
In the limestone region, high squeezing would lead to heavy

28. Socio-economic Impact of the Project
Reliable connectivity to far flung areas of Jammu and
Kashmir by rail.
Construction of Access Roads: With the construction of
approach roads, many villages will get connected and
would help in development of those areas.
Employment: The project would generate employment
for local people as well as for others.
Permanent job in Railways to one of the family
members whose more than 75% land has been
acquired.
