Sustainability evaluation of two iconic bridge corridors under construction using Fuzzy Vikor technique: A case study
Abstract
Two iconic bridge projects over River Yamuna in Delhi under construction have been evaluated from sustainability criteria using Fuzzy-Vikor technique. The Barapulla Elevated road project was more found to be more sustainable in comparison to the Signature Bridge Project in terms of various indicators identified during the study. In general, the goals of providing sustainable features are finding a balance between what is important to the community, to the natural environment and is economically sound. During the study, it was realized that social, economic and environmental are the established parameters of sustainability for developed countries only whereas other issues like Governance, Technical parameters and Inner Engineering also play a key role for developing economies like India.
