dc.description	We are pleased to organize the International Conference on Civil Engineering for Sustainable Development (ICCESD-2012) for the first time of its kind in the Department of Civil Engineering of Khulna University of Engineering & Technology (KUET), Khulna, Bangladesh. KUET is one of the leading public universities in Bangladesh, which is located at the southwestern coastal area. The overall goal of this conference is to promote applied research and professional activities relevant to different branches of Civil Engineering for the sustainable development of Bangladesh to face the great challenges of the 21st century. The Civil Engineering discipline is the oldest and vast discipline that includes the broader spectrum of Environmental, Geotechnical, Structural, Transportation and Water Resources Engineering. ICCESD-2012 aims at bringing together the Researchers, Scientists, Engineers, and Scholars in all the areas of Civil Engineering, and provides an ideal platform for sharing and exchanging professional, technical and academic knowledge on all aspects of Civil Engineering. We hope and strongly believe that the conference will open a window of exchanging the scientific and technical information among all the participants from home and abroad. At the same time, it is expected to create a common platform for sharing the ideas among the Engineers and Academicians from the developed and developing countries in the world having different experiences in research skills, practices and standards. We also believe that it will promote the international collaboration on sustainable technology in all the branches of Civil Engineering with respect to global warming and climate change. Considering the enormous scope of Civil Engineering discipline, a wide range of thematic areas and expertise are included in the conference. The theme of the conference includes the contributions from Environmental, Geotechnical, Structural, Transportation and Water Resources Engineering as well as Construction Materials and Management. The proceedings contain the Extended Abstract of 158 technical papers, which have been selected through a rigorous reviewing process. The full-length version of the selected technical papers is provided with CD-ROM attached at the last page of the proceedings. The contributions reflect the richness of the research on topics within the scope of the conference and represent several important developments, particularly focused on the various subjects and applications in the field of Civil Engineering. Three steps paper submission and reviewing process were followed: receiving of the abstract and evaluation, receiving of the first version of the full paper and reviewing each paper by two independent reviewers and acceptance of the final version upon the reviewers corrections included. However, the final responsibility for the contents, quality and the presentation of the papers is held by each individual author. On behalf of the organizing committee of ICCESD-2012, I would like to express the gratitude to the reviewers for their careful reviews and constructive comments and suggestions to improve the manuscript. I would also like to thank all of our colleagues for their supports and encouragements. Special thanks to Prof. Dr. Md. Monjur Hossain for his constant support and guidance. The sponsoring facilities offered by Kabir Steel Re-rolling Mills (KSRM) Ltd., Bangladesh Steel Re-rolling Mills (BSRM) Ltd. and Holcim Bangladesh Ltd. are highly appreciated and acknowledged. Finally, I am very much thankful to the editorial team of ICCESD-2012. We hope that this initiative will be continued in the next editions of this conference.	en_US
