  • Rehablitation of Mahatma Gandhi Setu in Patna
    Rehablitation of Mahatma Gandhi Setu in Patna Contractor Name:- FPCC Ind. Ltd 1. Introduction The Mahatma Gandhi Bridge was constructed about 25 years ago over the Ganges River in order to connect patna to the other side of river. Once completed it was supposed to be the part of N.H 19 and comes directly under Central Government of India. It is one of the longest bridge in india. The bridge has 46 spans each with length 120m. Each span has two cantilever beams on both sides which are free to move at the ends. It has two lanes one upstream and the other downstream each with a width of around 6m. Both the lanes are also free from each other and are not connected anywhere. It was constructed by using 3 meter pre-casted parts being joined at both ends to complete the span. The Spans are connected by using a Protrusion which is free to move longitudinally also along the river flow. In upwards and downwards direction it is such that it allows vibration to transfer smoothly to the next span while vehicular movement without much discreteness. It is shown in fig. Due to heavy traffic movement and being the only bridge to cross ganges river the bridge is used heavily now. Hence it has started vibrating with a higher amplitude than it was designed to. Also in many spans the cantilever beams were found to have sagged at ends. 2. Rehabilitation Keeping the structural health prospective in mind it was decided for immediate rehabilitation of the bridge to provide extra strength to the spans so that it bear the existing vehicular load according to the IRC.

  • Local Governments' Impact on Enterprises' Market Accessibility
    Working paper Local governments’ impact on enterprises’ market accessibility Understanding enterprises’ location choices in Hajipur, India Abhinav Alakshendra Ziming Li October 2018 When citing this paper, please use the title and the following reference number: C-89115-INB-1 Local Governments’ Impact on Enterprises’ Market accessibility: Understanding Enterprises’ Location Choices in Hajipur, India by Abhinav Alakshendra* & Ziming Li+ Abstract In the context of developing countries, this paper seeks to determine the extent to which the government impacts manufacturing enterprises’ market accessibility, specifically when infrastructure is insufficient. Our research derives from a questionnaire-based survey of 153 enterprises, located in the town of Hajipur, India. Based on a statistical analysis of responses to the open-ended questions collected from representatives of the surveyed enterprises, we find that considerations of the consumer market and profit directly drive the agglomeration of enterprises beyond (all) other (examined) factors. We examine the relationship between local government support and market accessibility by using two methods of analysis, OLS regression, and the average treatment effect. There are six indices of local government support which covers subsidies, joint subsidies for production or general support. Four indices for market accessibility are constructed by assigning 3-scale and 5-scale categorization schemes of the locations of final production in both ascending and descending orders. We also find that the government support helps enterprises reduce cost, and facilitates the enterprises’ final product to be sold in more distant markets. This research provides a new perspective towards the role government can play in fostering local prosperity in developing countries. Keywords: Infrastructure, Corruption, Average treatment effects *Assistant Professor, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Florida +Ph.D.
