The central research

One thesis. A complete infrastructure view.

Earthquake resilience is not only a building issue. The research brings structural safety, soil conditions, critical lifelines, emergency response and education into one integrated framework for Dhaka and Bangladesh.

Featured Thesis

Urban Infrastructure Security Focusing Earthquake — Bangladesh Perspective

The thesis aims to establish a comprehensive proactive Earthquake Risk Reduction Strategy linked to practical implementation, with attention to critical facilities, vulnerable lifelines such as gas, early warning, preparedness and emergency operations.
