The Kota city, which is situated in Rajasthan state of India, is having a major problem of disposing the quarry dust. Quarry dust is a waste product produced by the stone industry during the cutting and crushing of stone. This byproduct is affecting the environment and land fertility as well. One of the innovative techniques for ground improvement can be practiced by using quarry dust as soil stabilizing agent. This technique may simultaneously offer the environmental sustainability, use of industrial waste, and space saving. The Expansive Soil (ES) deposits in Kota district and its neighboring districts, Jhalawar and Baran, make it difficult to build large constructions. In order to make the soil suitable for construction, quarry dust and lime are used for stabilization of the ES in this study. The UCS and CBR value was increased after adding of quarry dust with 6% lime and stabilized soil has superior load bearing capacity.
Socio-Economic development of a country includes sustainable transportation system. As simulation is safer, less expensive and faster than field implementation and testing, Microscopic simulation models have been widely used in transportation operations and management analysis. The accuracy and reliability decide the usefulness of these models in making design and traffic control. Nowin India, VISSIM which is microscopic traffic simulation software is used. However, modifications to the default behavioral parameters are essential to effectively simulate Indian heterogeneous traffic conditions. In this study, the queue length and travel time of link connected to Narayan Singh Circle and Trimurti Circle intersection is analyzed before and after transfer the bus stop at Narayan Singh Circle to the periphery of city. For this, intersections are designed in VISSIM software and traffic flow performance is validated via VISSIM. Then average vehicular delay under different traffic volumes was analyzed. The results are finally compared before and after transfer the bus stop at Narayan Singh Circle to the peripheryof city.
