Soil liquefaction vulnerability assessment of Sylhet city based on SPT value
Abstract: Bangladesh is an earthquake-prone country due to its geographic location. Sylhet, a divisional city, is situated in Zone IV, the most seismically active area in the country, according to the Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC). A major earthquake can cause devastating effects in the subsurface, such as liquefaction, landslides resulting from a reduction of soil shear resistance. In this study, liquefaction potentiality of soil in Ward No. 9 of Sylhet …

Analysis of RC Frames Using Different Bracing Systems in Different Positions and Zones
Abstract: Structures are mainly built to enhance the performance of several activities like recreation, transportation, power generation, etc. They are built to sustain the loads coming on them during their service life by carrying adequate strength and also limit the deformation by possessing enough stiffness. Strength of a structure depends mainly upon the characteristics of material with which it is constructed. Stiffness is dependent upon the cross-sectional and geometrical properties of …

Seismic response analysis of adjacent rc structures considering seismic pounding effect
Abstract: As we know there is increase in construction of High-rise structures in developed cities. These structures are subjected to earthquake forces. Due to populated areas the buildings are constructed very closely to each other in order to utilize the entire property area. In such conditions there is possibility of occurring seismic pounding which will cause greater damage to the adjacent structures in addition to the damage caused by the earthquake. …

“FORCE-DISPLACEMENT TRADE OFF” OF RCC BUILDING LOCATED AT VARIOUS SEISMIC ZONES AND SITE CONDITION ADOPTING TIME-HISTORY ANALYSIS
Abstract: Earthquake-resistant or aseismic design are considered to protect buildings to some or greater extent from earthquakes. The force-displacement trade off of structures located in various seismic zones are different in nature depending on intensity of earthquake. No structure can be fully immune to damage from earthquake, the vulnerability can be reduced for safety and durability. The force-displacement behavior of a particular structure can be modified to withstand seismic occurrence preventing …

Leveraging IoT for Real-Time Disaster Management: Enhancing Preparedness and Response Through Smart Monitoring
Abstract: Natural disasters, including floods, earthquakes, and wildfires, pose risks to human life, infrastructure, and the environment. Many of the technological innovations are there, but in managing such disasters, there still is room for inefficiencies resulting from communication delay, unavailability of real-time data, and poor coordination at times. The inefficiencies lead to response times that are too long, inappropriate allocation of resources, and increased vulnerability to the impacts of disasters. Integration …
