Risk Assessment of the Structures Built on Reclaimed Lands in Jabalpur M.P.

Abstract

This paper describes the risk assessment of the civil engineering structures built on reclaimed lands. The problems that are likely to arise wherever major civil engineering structures are being planned on lands which have been reclaimed from perennially water logged areas or from the areas reclaimed by back filling the old surface water bodies and old garbage dumps. This practice is being followed in Jabalpur city which once supported 52 major and 84 small water bodies (Talabs) out of which nearly 100 have lost their existence and residential colonies now occupy lands reclaimed from them. As in Jabalpur so also in others towns this activity is going on without considering the negative effects of using reclaimed land for major constructions.
