RESOURCE PERSON
BENEFITS OF THE COURSE

his short course aims to introduce the basic

fundamentals of earthquake engineering
resistant design as provided in existing (1993)
and proposed (2010) provisions in the Bangladesh
National Building Code. The participants will be
exposed to new features present in the new seismic
design provisions (2010) of the updated Building
Code. The participants will also have software related
training with respect to application of new code.

his short course will be conducted by the

following professors, who have been involved
as authors in the latest updating (awaiting
publication) of the Bangladesh National Building
Code:
Dr. Tahmeed M. Al-Hussaini, Director BUETJIDPUS and professor of Civil Engineering,
BUET.
Dr. Khan Mahmud Amanat, Professor of Civil
Engineering Department, BUET
Dr. Tahsin R. Hossain, Professor of Civil
Engineering Department, BUET
