Foundation for an 85 m High Bungy-Jumping Tower at Rishikesh
摘要
An 85 m high bungy-jumping tower set to be the highest in India is under construction in Rishikesh. Located on right bank of River Hule at Shivpuri between the North Almoda Thrust and the Saknindhar Thrust, rocks in the area are sheared and disturbed. The paper presents the geotechnical conditions at site and the foundation system for the tower. Appropriate slope stabilization measures were implemented for long-term stability.
