All of the articles in this proceedings volume have been presented at the 1st International Conference on Recent Innovation in Civil Engineering and Architecture for Sustainable Development (IICASD-2024) during 7-9 November 2024 in Dhaka University of Engineering & Technology, Gazipur, Bangladesh....

The uses of ceramic products are expanding day by day in different forms like tiles, sanitary fittings, wall linings, electrical insulations etc. Due to its brittle nature, huge number of ceramic materials turn into waste during processing, transporting and fixing. The direct dumping of these waste materials...

Bangladesh, located in a seismically active region, faces significant earthquake risks, particularly in high seismic zones like Sylhet. The Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC) provides design guidelines, including the equivalent static load method and dynamic analysis method, to ensure structural...

The present study investigates the effect of the water-to-binder ratio (w/b) on the strength of brick aggregate concrete (BAC) containing rice husk ash (RHA) as a partial replacement of cement. To conduct the study, the properties of the materials were investigated. BAC cylinders (100 × 200 mm) and beams...

One of the most significant industrial sectors and largest agro-based industry in Bangladesh is the sugar industry. During production time, a large amount of wastewater produced on daily basis by sugar mills is hazardous. The poorly managed wastewater discharged in an open water body which causes water...

In the present study, the suitability of groundwater for drinking and irrigation purposes was analyzed in Kaliakair upazila. Thirty (30) groundwater samples from Kaliakair upazila were collected and examined for pertinent water quality indicators. To estimate the water quality index (WQI) for the drinking...

This study aims to assess the seismic vulnerability of soft ground stories and propose potential solutions by comparing the use of concrete shear walls and steel bracings at the ground level. In our country, soft-story buildings are commonly used, with many multistory structures leaving the ground floor...

The study presents the spatial changes, i.e., LULC and temporal changes., Area and Bank Side change of four islands of Bangladesh- Nijhum Dwip, Kutubdia Island, Hatiya Island, and Sawndip from 1988 to 2024. In this study, the geospatial tools of The United States Geological Survey (USGS), Geographical...

In tropics, a significant amount of energy is used for ensuring thermal comfort in buildings. The geometry of a building is a major factor in the early design stage, affecting not only the thermal comfort of occupants but also energy consumption and construction costs. The majority of studies on thermal...

Steel slag, a byproduct of steel production, can harm biodiversity and diminish soil fertility when improperly disposed of. However, studies suggest its viability as a pavement material. Given that moisture distress is a major issue in asphalt pavements, this study examines the impact of steel slag on...

Rapid urban population growth in developing countries has significantly impacted environmental noise levels. In hospitals, located near busy roads, excessive background noise is a major concern for both patients and staff. Road traffic noise has significant negative effects on human health, particularly...

Investigation on unconfined connection with bolts of cold formed steel (CFS) is recommended in the commentary of North American cold form steel specification. This study is focused on ultimate bearing strength of unconfined bolted connection of CFS. Unconfined bolted connection model was developed and...

The electrical resistivity of soil is its ability to oppose the passage of electric current through soil. It plays a vital role in various engineering ap-plications such as determining soil corrosivity, designing grounding systems, etc. Organic clay is abundant in many places of the world, and sometimes...

This research investigates the mechanical properties of concrete blocks made with industrial by-product materials including construction waste, washed cement fines from ready-mix concrete plants, brick dust, and ladle furnace slag. The study examines factors influencing compressive strength, void content,...

Salinity in drinking water poses significant health risks and challenges for water sustainability. Although there are varieties of water treatment technologies are available, low cost, and efficient alternative of water treatment is always appreciable. This study explores the effectiveness of various...

This study evaluated the corrosion of steel in seawater-mixed concrete with different interfacial transition zones (ITZs) by measuring different corrosion parameters. The ITZs around the steel bars were intentionally varied by applying cement paste coating around the steel bars, which had various water...

Rapid unplanned urbanization, high population density, inadequate open spaces, and a few other issues are making Dhaka city highly vulnerable to urban disasters like earthquakes and fires. Although the city has not experienced a building-collapsing earthquake for many years, several tremors have been...

Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is valued in civil construction for its capability to flow and compact solely due to gravity without external vibration, which enhances ease of construction, surface finish, and reduces labor costs. Concrete exhibits excellent compressive strength and relatively weak tensile...

The tamping method is a manual soil compaction technique, that involves the application of repetitive localized impacts using a rod to compact soils. Although the compaction of sandy soils in a moist state is widely used in laboratory and field conditions, the compaction of sandy soils in an underwater...

Concrete-filled fabricated steel box composite columns, particularly concrete-filled box sections, are crucial in modern structural engineering due to their high load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and ductility. However, full-scale testing of composite columns is often impractical due to high costs and...

The rivers of Bangladesh, particularly braided rivers, are highly dynamic and susceptible to frequent hydro-morphological changes, such as riverbank erosion, which poses significant challenges to riverbank protection. This persistent issue results in significant land loss and community displacement,...

Composite structure is defined as a combination of two or more elements acting together as a single element. The headed stud shear connector in a steel-concrete composite beam generates the composite action by resisting the longitudinal sliding and uplifting between the steel beam and concrete slab....
