Understanding of Engineering Geology for a Livable City: An Insight from the Experience of Dhaka Mega City, Bangladesh Geocomp provides technical support to developing nations, organizations, and institutions interested in geotechnical, structural, and seismic risk management, including Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. Dhaka is purported to be one of the fastest growing cities worldwide, where population density exceeds 100,000 per square mile. The government is unable to keep pace with the influx of new residents, creating road and public transportation deficits. Inadequate planning has led to many buildings being constructed without proper design or approval. An added concern is monsoon season, when rain inundates Dhaka transporting sand and waste to low lying areas and placing buildings at risk for collapse. The rapid physical growth of a portion of the Mega City is shown by comparison in the two satellite images to the left. These situations have contributed to Dhaka being ranked among the least habitable cities globally.

Excavation failures have been a critical problem as geomorphological boundary conditions and indiscriminate filling of low land and abandoned channels are not being taken into considered prior to excavation. This creates subtle slope failure environments. Geocomp's Mir Karim, former Director of Geological Survey of Bangladesh, recently conducted research on sustainable underground construction in Dhaka City, including tunnels. The research program included an installation, training sessions, and geological mapping for the City.

The installation included state-of-the-art Geocomp equipment to perform Cyclic Triaxial tests. This machine will aid in the evaluation of soil and its capacity to withstand shear stresses created by earthquakes or similar cyclic loading. Mr. Karim also developed comprehensive geological mapping indicating that underground construction would be feasible in Dhaka's soil composition. Dhaka ultimately will be able to improve lifestyle conditions with appropriate planning, design, and adoption of proven transportation systems. Geocomp looks forward to providing further technical assistance and collaboration through this improvement project. Failure of excavation support system in Dhanmondi
