Title: A Comprehensive Study of Trip Attraction Rates of Different-Sized Hospitals in Dhaka City

Conference Name: International Conference on Quality for Sustainable Development (ICQSD), 2016.

Abstract: As land use intensifies, motorized and non-motorized traffic on urban roads increases. A travel demand model is convenient to attenuate the impact of newly generated traffic.

For proper transportation planning, trip generation is the first step that will facilitate the city’s transportation sectors. As hospitals are major trip generators in any country, numerous hospitals attract a significant number of trips every day. Because this is an emergency trip, trip attractions are critical to understanding and improving traffic facilities by developing road networks. Furthermore, hospital trip attraction rates can be very useful in performing traffic impact assessments (TIA).

In this research, an attempt has been made to compute the trip attraction rates of hospitals in Dhaka city. The study involves the estimation of trip attraction rates for eight different hospitals in five different locations in Dhaka city.

Hourly trip attraction rates are determined considering different physical characteristics, i.e., gross floor area, number of beds, number of doctors, and number of parking spaces. Trip attraction rates are determined for both the morning and evening peaks. Average trip attraction rates for three major size categories of hospitals (small, medium, and large hospitals) are determined. It has been observed that the trip attraction rates of large hospitals are higher than the trip attraction rates of small and medium-sized hospitals.

Furthermore, Mr. Mostafa understands the intricacies of research work in the field of transportation engineering. Besides, he can maintain focus on his tasks with full knowledge of how to contribute to the overall research goals, no matter how mundane and repetitive his tasks are. He is also a full-time member of the Institute of Engineers, Bangladesh.

Title: Ground Investigation and Response of the Jhilmil Residential Town Project. 

Conference Name: 3rd International Conference on Advances in Civil Engineering (ICACE 2016) 

December 2016: Held at CUET, Chittagong, Bangladesh. 

Abstract: 

Sand filling is a common method of developing low-lying areas in Bangladesh that are still underwater for residential and commercial purposes. Different government and non-government organizations are developing these areas through various projects. Such a project is the Jhilmil Project of RAJUK, located near Dhaka. 

Subsoil investigations were conducted in sixteen project locations. This paper represents the subsoil investigation reports and the ground response analysis of the subsoil of the Jhilmil project. The SPT N values of sixteen boreholes were collected from the Standard Penetration Test. 

Shear wave velocity was determined using a universal correlation. The site response analysis was performed using DEEP SOIL (Hashash et al., 2011) V5.1. Equivalent linear analysis was performed, and the response spectrum, the PGA, and the amplification factor were determined and represented in this paper.

Title: Liquefaction Potential Analysis of Jhilmil Residential Town Project

Conference Name: BUET - ANWAR ISPAT 1st Bangladesh Civil Engineering SUMMIT, 

23–27 November 2016, held at BUET, Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Abstract: 

Soil liquefaction and related ground failures are commonly associated with large earthquakes. Liquidification refers to the loss of strength in saturated, cohesion-less soils due to the buildup of pore water pressures during dynamic loading.

 Liquefaction causes numerous physical damages to structures. Mainly reclaimed areas are more vulnerable to liquefaction. So the liquefaction potential calculation is much more important. Different government and non-government organizations in Bangladesh are developing numerous low-lying areas that are still underwater for residential and commercial purposes by sand filling under the guise of various projects. Such a project is the Jhilmil Project of RAJUK (Rajdhani Unnayan Kartipakha), located near Dhaka city. 

This paper deals with the analysis of the liquefaction of the Jhilmil Project. Liquefaction analysis was carried out at sixteen locations in the project. A detailed analysis is made by using the software Novoliq. The results show that all the locations are not liquefiable.
