This is the restaurant design project in which I lead the team. I rendered the model and assisted in the creation of the miniature scale model and details drawings, including plans, sections, elevations, and a poster presentation. We had to come up with a unique idea for a given area for this project. The design concept was inspired by the Komlapur Railway Station in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Daniel Dunham and his Berger Consultancy teams from New Jersey designed the station in 1960, using a large span thin-shell concrete design and experimenting with various options for spanning the vast station roof. That concept was reflected in our designed project, which required the exploration of multiple options as well as an umbrella-shaped repetitive form that looked like a pointed arch when seen from the front.

I studied the structural system of Fazlur Rahman Khan's "John Hancock Center." The Hancock Center debuted and expressed Khan’s “Braced Tube” structural system making it a notable structural and social symbol for the city of Chicago from 1968. For structures above 60 stories, I learned that a rigid box type structural system with all exterior wall elements acting together like the sides of a tube was one of the most effective lateral load resisting solutions. The analysis revealed that approximately 30% of the total horizontal deflection in these trussed tube systems is due to cantilever action, while the remaining 70% is due to frame action.

In the Tall building project, we were given a specific area and a soil test report in which to plan a 15-story building with a basement and semibasement, as well as the required fire protection system, in accordance with BNBC. After approving the plans, we were required to manually calculate gravity loads as well as lateral loads such as wind and seismic loads, and then manually design the beams, columns, shear-walls, and foundations. Following the submission of the manual design report, we were required to create a mathematical model for FEA analysis. For the FEA analysis, I used ETABS software. Finally, we had to validate our conclusions by comparing manual and software outputs and submitting the required drawings.

As an intern with TOWERGEN, I actively involved in this project by visiting the site, assisting the superiors in performing excavation analysis, rebar test, ferro scan test, and hammer test, and documenting the results. In addition, I assessed the existing plan, developed a mathematical model for FEA analysis using ETABS, and validated the software's output using manual calculations. I finally jotted down the detailed calculation report that we had to submit to GRAMEENPHONE, Bangladesh.

The Ahyan Hotel project is a 22-story 5-star hotel and a very prestigious project in Khulna. Mizanoor Rahman, P.Eng., one of my faculty teachers was in charge of the member of the vetting team. Because I had a published paper titled "Performance assessment of various seismic resistant systems for a multistory structure in different seismic zones of Bangladesh," he gave me the opportunity to conduct a comprehensive seismic analysis of the structural system. I provided him with detailed output results after performing a linear static analysis and a linear dynamic response spectrum analysis on the mathematical model.

This project required analysis, design, and specification of the required jacketing for existing towers in Char Bhairabi, Chadpur, Bangladesh. The height of this four-legged tower was 32 meters. Using MS Tower software, we developed a mathematical model, assigned the loads, and evaluated the tower's performance based on the existing plan. After determining the required tower jacketing based on the performance evaluation, we provided the authority with detailed jacketing drawings and a cost estimate. Finally, we visited the site and evaluated the quality and precision of the fieldwork that had been completed.
