Abstract:With the further advancement of the Belt and Road Initiative, the overseas municipal infrastructure construction of China is shifting from “large and extensive” to “small and refined”. In response to the current situation of traffic congestion and pedestrian safety hazards in the central urban area of the capital of a country in East Africa, a pedestrian underpass is planned, designed and constructed at the CBD roundabout to improve the traffic efficiency and safety. Combined with the construction background, construction conditions and constraints of the project, the overall layout, structural design, ventilation and flood control, electrical systems, and accessibility design are systematically expounded, and the technical challenges and implementation schemes under urban constraints are discussed. By complying with the norms of that country, the Chinese norms are also introduced for design, achieving the integration of Chinese and foreign standards and providing a reference for the implementation of similar projects.
