Planning, Redesign and Structural Analysis of Samarlakota Railway station Building by using Staad.pro

Abstract

A railway station is a place where trains routinely stop to pick up and drop off passengers or freight.
Because the station is the first place most passengers see the railway, it should be thought of as the "shop window"
for the services it offers. It should be well-designed, attractive, comfortable, easy to use, and efficient in layout and
operation. They need to be properly managed and cared for, and they need to be used securely.
The penultimate stop for local trains on the Southern Railway is Samarlakota, which is quite busy. The lone Foot
over Bridge (FOB) right now makes things quite messy at busy times, which is undesirable for travelers. Also, the
bridge is old and weak, so it shakes as more weight is added. Many people are unhappy that the new skywalk doesn't
link to the FOB. Thousands of peasants from Surampalem, Rameshampet, Peddapuram, and Rangampeta travel to
Samarlakota to go to the city. This means that the number of passengers is growing every day. This situation forces
many people to cross the train tracks, resulting in numerous fatalities and injuries.Because of things like food
booths and ceiling supports, the station's existing layout doesn't let passengers move about the platforms easily. Our
effort aims to examine the station's present goals and pinpoint the main problems. It suggests reworking the main
structural aspects and gives practical advice for how to make the current facilities better. Finally, it wants to make
the station more efficient and welcoming for commuters, bringing it up to the level of contemporary train stations,
