Spotted this one on Reddit. Apparently it's in Pune, India.
That's an easy one. The engineers calculated the average speed of the traffic that will be using the ramp, and their average mass. They computed that the resulting vector of the angular velocity of the traffic would exert a radial component down and outward to the supporting column, which was placed offset to intersect the load vectors.:-/
CL roadbed vs CL structure discrepancy, sidewalk on one side throws it off.
International Foot versus Indian Survey Foot
Wrong ft setting in the GPS.
Rashadim didn't know his crores from his lakhs...
I told them to hire [USER=61]@Roadhand[/USER] to stake it.
They didn't listen to me. 🙁
Offset column?
"Just give me centerline, I'll take if from there."
Sleeping cow? (forgive me)
The inner face (radially) of the column seems to line up pretty well with the cl of the bridge section. Misunderstood, mis-written or misread offsets to proposed column location coupled with a precast bridge section?
Also, the bridge section extends considerably beyond the column under discussion. Is the whole thing (scaffold and shims included) a permanent installation at this point?
They didn't want to block the view of those signs hanging up.
Looks like re-use of existing columns to me...

Funny, I'd never even heard of Pune until my cousin's husband posted some photos of it on his Facebook wall a couple of days ago. He's there visiting one of the software development teams he manages.
Did you mean between the Indian feet of 1937, 1965, or 1975? :snarky:
Uncle Paden: I am impressed. Not many know that terms!
Your avatar is even more impressive! Wonder what Untie Paden thought of it 🙂
Clear case of tectonic drift with the support anchored into the Indian subcontinent and the causeway ramparts anchored into the Asian continent. The scaffolding is actually supporting the structure so it doesn't collapse under the weight of a passing rickshaw.
The Microsoft people are now moonlighting as civil engineers.....
Gunga Din put a little 'sumpin' special" in the water....
post-tensioning shortened the structure and decreased the radius?
seems a bit extreme but you can't see how long the structure is, or how tight the radius is.
is it possible?
The column looks to be correct, the overpass is now passing under the tree top.
:plumbbob:
They must know that it's nothing that a simple reboot won't fix.
How did this much construction occur without someone noticing this?
