The old Brahmaputra, Dasani, Jinjiram, Alaikhal, and some other distributary channels of Jamuna flow through Jamalpur. Old Brahmaputra and Dasani rivers are hydro-morphologically dynamic, erodible, and meandering. There is a precedent of two rivers meeting in the Jamalpur district. In 2009 near Sherpur...

In Dhaka, urbanization is growing at a rapid rate which has brought about an increase in road traffic, resulting in a significant rise in noise pollution levels. This study aims to assess the relationship among various vehicle types and the noise generated by these vehicles. Study locations were set...

Microplastics are small-sized and microscopic plastic materials produced by both commercial product development and the breakdown of bigger polymers. Microplastics can be hazardous to the environment and animal health as a contaminant. For the first time, scientists discovered microplastic contamination...

The lateral displacement can also be induced in the piled-raft foundations (PRFs) for onshore structures in addition to vertical load on account of the excavations carried out very close to the existing PRFs. In the present study, three-dimensional numerical analyses are performed on vertically loaded...

Bangladesh’s vital water transportation routes, like the MAWA to ARICHA corridor spanning 70.50 kilometers, are essential for the nation’s economic well-being. However, the deposition of sediment every year along this route poses a significant challenge for navigability. This study aims to analyze sedimentation...

Researchers have studied meteorological influences on PM2.5 concentration in Dhaka City with limited data and there is a need for further study. This study analyzes time series data (i.e., decadal data: 2013-2022) encompassing the most recent years to better understand long term state of PM2.5 concentration...

Dhaka Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system is the first-ever rapid transit system in Bangladesh, implemented with the aim of mitigating the acute traffic congestion in Dhaka City by providing a dependable transportation alternative to personal automobiles. In order to assess the performance and service quality...

Organic waste valorization offers a promising pathway for the creation of value-added products like bioplastics, while simultaneously mitigating the financial burdens associated with waste management. This study thoroughly examines the prospect of the production of bio-plastics from organic waste and...

The present study aimed to investigate the properties of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mixes to determine their suitability for preparing conventional hot mix asphalt (HMA) for wearing courses. To effectively recover the properties of the aged binder, the RAP was combined with two waste materials...

Granular piles, which consist of granular materials, are widely used as a soil improvement technique for increasing the bearing capacity of soft soil and reducing the settlement. In this study laboratory tests were conducted to find out the effectiveness of granular materials and the granular piles constructed...

Fillers strengthen cohesiveness and fill void in the mixture of asphalt, which affects engineering properties of this mixture. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), lime and stone dust are generally used in the asphalt mixture as fillers. The influence of different fillers of various contents on volumetric...

The government of Bangladesh has developed a National Action Plan for the implementation of the Institutional and Regulatory Framework for Fecal Sludge Management (FSM), with an emphasis on meeting the requirements of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.2 by 2030. However, establishing safely managed...

Nowadays, with increasing concerns over environmental sustainability and resource management, evaluating the environmental impacts of two prominent materials, plastic and jute from their inception to production (Cradle to Gate) becomes crucial. Recent worldwide discussions on sustainable development...

In Bangladesh, groundwater is the main source of potable, industrial, and irrigational water supply. Due to its heavy dependence, an excessive groundwater table drawdown and deterioration in groundwater quality is noticeable. The groundwater from ten cities in Bangladesh (Gazipur, Kishoreganj, Rajshahi,...

Due to its geographic location and rapid climate change, Bangladesh has witnessed natural disasters such as floods, cyclones, flash floods, tidal surges, and waterlogging. Natural disasters disturb the lives of those who reside in coastal areas every year as their houses are severely damaged. This devastation...

Detecting subsurface geological structures and features is crucial in geotechnical design to prevent potential hazards in the future. To achieve fast and precise interpretation, efficient testing is required in geotechnical engineering. This study aims to evaluate soil characteristics utilizing electrical...

Bangladesh’s southwest coastal zone is prone to several natural disasters due to global climate changes, its low elevation, and its geographical position. This study was conducted to analyze the effects of natural disasters on the supply chain management of agricultural products and to identify the existing...

Road traffic accidents are a global concern that is on the rise due to rapid urbanization and population growth, especially in a developing country like Bangladesh. Chattogram is one of the largest cities in Bangladesh, where a growing number of deaths and injuries are apparent. The study aims to investigate...
