Abstract:
ABSTRACT In Bangladesh many low laying areas which remained under water are developing for residential and commercial purposes by sand filling. These areas are developing by different government and non-government organization by naming different projects. Such a project is Jhilmil Project of RAJUK (RajdhaniUnnayanKartipalha) located near the Dhaka city. Subsoil investigation was carried out in sixteen locations of the project. This paper represents the subsoil investigation reports and the ground response analysis of subsoil of Jhilmil project. SPT N values of sixteen boreholes were collected from Standard Penetration Test. Shear wavevelocity was determined by using universal correlation. The site response analysis was performed using DEEPSOIL (Hashash et al., 2011) V5.1. Equivalentlinear analysis was performed and the response spectrum, the PGA andthe amplification factor was determined and represented in this paper.
