  • Punching behaviour of footings 
    Golam Mostofa, Md. (Department of Civil Engineering, 1997-07)
    Punching shear is an impOltant consideration in the design of flat plates, bridge decks, column footings and mat foundations. Present design rules for punching shear failure of reinforced concrete slabs and footings, ...
  • Study of stress distribution in deep reinforced concrete beams 
    Md. Golam Ali (Department of Civil Engineering, 1984-09)
    A total of ten brick aggregate reinforced concrete beamsin two series have been tested in this study in order to investigate the effect of span/depth ratio and variation of web reinforcement on the stress distribution ...
  • Seismic damage scenario for Dhaka city 
    Ferooz Rahman, Md. Gazi (Department of Civil Engineering, 2004-04)
    Earthquake risk at any location depends on the seismic hazard as well as the vulnerability of its structures. The seismic hazards evaluation considers the likelihood of earthquake of a particular magnitude or intensity ...
  • Simplified analysis and design of free standing stairs resting on partially rigid support 
    Farhad Hussain, Md. (Department of Civil Engineering, 2001-10)
    Conventional design of a free standing stair is dependent on some approximate analytical methods. The conventional methods fail to recognize the variation of stress resultants across any cross section of the stair slab. ...
  • Effect of coarse aggregate porosity on the compressive behavior of concrete after high temperature episodes 
    Syied Mahbub Morshed, MD. (Department of Civil Engineering, 2014-05)
    Concrete loses strength when exposed to high temperature. The thermo-chemo-rheological processes that take place within the concrete matrix at high temperature not only produce gaseous matters and vapors but may also ...
  • Model investigation of hyperbolic paraboloid shell 
    Md. Eunus Sikder (Department of Civil Engineering, 1982-09)
    For abstract please see full text
  • Effect of randomly distributed infills on the vibration characteristics of reinforced concrete frames 
    Ekramul Hoque, Md. (Department of Civil Engineering, 2002-10)
    Conventional modeling of reinforced concrete structures by FE method results in too long and unrealistic value of period of buildings. A reason of this phenomenon is that a structure usually contains many secondary elements ...
  • Arsenic removal from groundwater by alum
