Assessment of heavy metal contamination of sediments of some polluted rivers

Kalimur Rahman, Md. (Department of Civil Engineering, 2011-11)

Buriganga, Sitalakhya and Turag are some of the polluted rivers around Dhaka city. Encroachment, disposal of untreated domestic and industrial wastewater and dumping of solid wastes have degraded the overall quality of ...
Evaluation of water quality and pollution sources of gulshan lake

MD. Ibrahim Sabit (Department of Civil Engineering, 2011-07)

Gulshan Lake is the northernmost lake in a chain of water bodies in Dhaka (Gulshan Lake, Hatirjheel, Begunbari Khal, Balu River and Shitalakhya River), all suffering from serious pollution. Gulshan Lake is about 3800m ...
Seismic vibration control of frame structure using shape memory alloy

Golam Rashed, Md. (Department of Civil Engineering, 2013-02)

The use of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) in mitigating the seismic vibration response of civil infrastructure is gaining momentum. The name “Shape Memory” implies that it remembers its original formed shape. SMA has two basic ...
Horizontal pullout resistance of concrete anchor blocks in sand backfill

Md. Golam Mostofa (Department of Civil Engineering, 2013-06)

Anchored earth wall is one of the popular types of internally stabilized wall systems intended to retain soils vertically. Such walls are typically characterized by unreinforced incremental concrete facing panels tied ...
Developing a combined residential location and transport mode choice model using RP and SP data

Bashirul Haque, Md. (Department of Civil Engineering, 2011-08)

Bangladesh is a densely populated developing country with a population of more than 140 millions in an area of only 56,931 square mile (BBS, 2011). Most of the development activities of the country are centralized in a ...
Application of data mining in road traffic accident analysis

Md. Asif Raihan (Department of Civil Engineering, 2013-06)

The existing road traffic accident (RTA) analysis system in Bangladesh is more focused onto record management and basic data analysis i.e. characteristics analysis purposes rather than using it as a source of intelligence. ...
Performance of jute geotextile reinforced hydraulic filled subgrade

Asgor Hossain, Md. (Department of Civil Engineering, 2012-03)

In this study, DWF Cloth (plain) Jute Geotextile (JGT) has been used for the purpose of subgrade soil reinforcement of a flexible pavement in two different road segments to evaluate its performance. One road segment is ...
Evaluation of flexible and rigid pavements construction in Bangladesh

Arifuzzaman Bhuyan, Mohammad (Department of Civil Engineering, 2009-10)

The aim of this study was to find the pavement type which would be more cost effective and would give good serviceability in the long run in the context of Bangladesh. In this regard field investigations were carried out ...
Seasonal and spatial variation properties of aggregate from different sources in Bangladesh

Anisur Rahman, Md. (Department of Civil Engineering, 2012-04)

Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials throughout the world, because of the variations in properties of locally available aggregates due to seasonal and spatial variation, the properties of concrete ...
Modeling the impact of wasteload allocation on the water quality of the Sitalakhya river

Akramul Alam, Md. (Department of Civil Engineering, 2011-10)

The surface water pollution is considered as one of the most serious environmental problems in most developing countries. Most of the rivers in the urban areas of the developing world are the end points of effluents ...
Study of the behaviour of bamboo reinforced concrete beams

Ahsan Sabbir, Md. (Department of Civil Engineering, 2011-03)

An experimental study has been made to explore the possibility of using bamboo and bamboo twig as a potential reinforcement in concrete beams. To achieve this objective, a series of tension tests were conducted to derive ...
Determination of optimal route for GIS based road network

Abul Quasem Siddique, Md. (Department of Civil Engineering, 2010-09)

Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, has a population of about 9.6 million and extending over an area of about 360 square kilometer. In 2016 population would be greater than 15.5 million. The city has been turned into one ...
Cost study of a high rise R.C building with different grades of steel

Abul Kalam Azad, Md. (Department of Civil Engineering, 2012-04)

Reinforced concrete is used as construction material in every country. In many, including Bangladesh, reinforced concrete is a dominant structural material in engineered construction. The universal nature of reinforced ...
Rationality of threshold levels for tenderer's eligibility criteria in the standard tender documents under public procurement act-2006 (PPA-2006)
