The county is Sequently affeted by flood, cyclones and «yelone induced storm surges and tornados. The country is also under test of moderate to song, ‘earthquakes due tothe geographical position. Bangladesh it close to one ofthe mort tctniclly active regions inthe word, It is stunted where tee tectonic plates naly the Idan plate, the Esra plate and the Burmese plate met. Banglades, over the lst hundred and ify year, had experienced eight ‘major earthquakes of magnitude over 7.0. Among those earthquakes, we earthquakes tamely Bengal Earthquake of 1885 and Srimongol Eathquske of 1918 had tei epicenter within the counry. Du ots proximity tothe plate boundaries, active faults and tac records of historcal damaging earthquakes in and around Bangladesh probably of oecurence of strong earthquake is high. “The risks of loss of lfe and damage to property du to earthquake are almost entirely associated with manmade sinctures. Because earthquake doesn't kill people, buildings &. The rapid urbanization of ‘sovea ities especialy Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet during the last 25 yers with most of the buildings being non-nginered sa hig concern Public Werks Department (PWD) with istry of over 150 yar isthe Government Department which ‘owns almest all the publi buildings ofthe country in connection with constuction and aintenance, The ‘partment inherits the legacy ffom British India though Pakistan prod ro preset independent Bangladesh. A msjor portion ofthe huge building stock is ureinforeedbriec masonry buildings with lw concrete svength, inadequate colamn section and non ductile RC flamed structures, The Bangldesh "Nationa Building Code (BNBC) was formulated in 1993 and enacted in 2006. PWD hasbeen following ‘American Conese Instiute (ACT) code till 1993 and the BNBC subsepuntly for structural design purpose. But strict adherence to the code especialy the seismic provision came into practice very recently. AS a resul, 2 staggering number of existing buldings do not meet the seismic demand and ‘spacty requirements ofthe curent BNBC (Final dr, July 2015) ‘The Government of Bangladesh has taken a stong stand with disaster sis reduction, Government's success in ceri areas of disaster risk mitigation sich at flood, cyclone i aclaimed by the world and taken as role mode! in many counties. In case of earthguake disaster, he county ie not sufficiently prepared to reduce the risk. The min reason is that earthquake is ota frequent phenomenon Bangladesh. The country fad experienced the last devastating carhuake in 1897 (The Great Indisn Earthquake with magninude 8). Inthe Standing Order on Disister (SOD) ofthe Goverament, PWD is entrusted withthe task to promote seismic resistant building and to retrofit public buildings which are vulnerable to earthquake. Duco the lick of technical know-how, PWD could not undertake projects for reofiting. To overcome this deficiency, PWD Ins undertaken a projet with the technical eaoperation of ICA titled “Project for Capacity Development on Natural Disster Resistat Techniques of Conaricton and Retofiting. for Public Buildings (CNCRP". The main purpose of the four yea lng pross eto enrich the technical knowledge and working capacity ofthe engines of PWD for seismic assesment, etofting design and ‘construction of existing RC famed pubic builns.

Selsmicrevoftig sa specialized type of job “The professionals snd practicing engineers are requested to go through the manuals carefully and apply their engineering judgments before application. ‘The curent edition ofthe manuals and guidelines area modest begining, Extensve research on local conditions such a¢consirueton materials, wchniqus, and practices inthe light of local seismicity are necesary to upgrade the manuals. We, as professionals, believe that manuals are oa a gue routine and it is he expert who will have to take the fal decision about actual extent of work tobe done, We «expect feedback fom al quarters to enrich he future edition ofthe manuals. ‘The current Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC) isnot included with any provision of seismic ‘evaluation and reofit design. Throughout the projet duration, the engineers of PWD stufid the standard, guidelines and technical manial for seismic evaation and revoiting dsign oF RC buildings jn Japan, The eppoach isa litle unconvessona in Bangladesh As judgment is very important in assessing vulnerability ofa building, the Japanese method gives emphasis on critealcbservations and hand calculations. Thee are many factors and assumption to be taken based ca local construction ‘ireumstances.

Most ofthe buildings consrted before adoption of BNBC 1993 is ‘ther non engineered or designed without considering seismic lead. The present construction senario is not very emcouaging citer.
