Conclusion:
1) Seismic intensity
Seismic intensity at Sarkari Shishu Paribar building of Social Welfare in Sreemangal would be MMI
Intensity IV, and surrounding area, where affected were very less, would be IV or III to IV. This might be
maximum 40-50gals in PGA (Peak Ground Acceleration). One specific issue would be a “seiche” (tidal
wave) in the Saghot Digi (pond) behind the Shishu Paribar building.
On the contrary, in Kamalganj at Thana building, MMI was V, and at Fire station MMI was IV, therefore
a little bit stronger ground shaking than at Sreemangal. Considering the liquefaction occurrence, PGA there
would be 50-80gals maximum.

Note: Seismic intensity data by USGS

2) Damage to buildings

1: Affected building in Sreemangal (Sarkari Shishu Paribar Social Welfare):

Under the Sarkari Shishu Paribar Social Welfare area, there are five buildings were surveyed as shown
below;
1A: Children residence: This is a five storied building, constructed in 2001, and approximately 100 children
have been living there. During survey, we found lots of cracks, heavy damage in structural elements (beam &
column joint), fall of brittle plaster at beam-column joints & one column affected very badly. This column
concrete cover fell down & main re-bar exposed. The cracked columns were mainly in the west and north sides
at the irregularity structure portions. The foundation and hooting seemed not so bad as far as we could look.
Water level at the time of survey was a little bit high. The inhabitants/residences, who were present at that

11
building in the time of the earthquake, heard a loud sound and felt heavy shake.
Some of the causes of the damage might be considered possible as below, taking into account that the
surrounding buildings were not affected mostly.
- Soft story: In the ground floor, there are mostly columns except only 2 or 3 infill-brick walls. This might
provide the stiffness of ground floor lower compared to other stories of the building. This means top heavy
as well.
- Strong beam and weak column: According to BNBC 2.12.2.6, another cause for beam column joint failure
could be strong beam and weak column. In the affected building floor of ground floor, the beam size is
250mm x 600mm & column size is 250mm x 500mm.
- Beam column joint with insufficient stirrup placing: This is very important issue. However, similar to most
of the construction sites in this country, we observed lack of stirrup at beam column joint in this building.
May be it could be one of the causes of failure.
- Soil effect: Behind the building, there is pond, and the water level would be relatively high. Filled soils
looked sandy, then some soil effect could be considered. However, it was not clear, because we could not
observe the deeper portion of the foundation.
1B: Class Room: This is a two storied very old building, constructed in 1961. During survey, we found
that re-bar were exposed at some portion of slab & beam. However, local people said that these
deficiencies/problems have existed in the prior period of the incidence of the earthquake.
1C: Office Building: This is a two storied building which was constructed in 2001.We didn’t find any
damage there.
1D: Officer Residence: This is a one storied building which was constructed in 2001.We didn’t find any
damage there.
1E: Office Cum School Building: This is a two storied building which was constructed in 2001. We
found some small cracks at beam & brick wall joint and one crack found at ground floor column.

2 to 5: Buildings surrounding the affected one in Sreemangal:

We visited several buildings surrounding the affected one at Sreemangal.
2: Sreemangal Upzilla Post Office: This is a two storied building, which is over 20+ years old. We didn’t
find any damage during the survey. Who were present at that building in the time of the earthquake, they
heard a loud sound and felt heavy shake.
3: Jabel Mansion: This is a three storied over 30+ years old building and upper stories are under
construction. We found some small cracks at the bottom of ground floor roof slab during the survey. But
peoples said, these cracks were before earthquake. And they heard loud sound and felt heavy shake in
the time of the earthquake.
4: Hotel Sondha: This is a four storied hotel cum shop building which was constructed in 1995. No
damage was found during the survey, but people heard loud sound and heavy shaking in the time of the
earthquake.
5: Haque Mansion: This is a two storied shop cum office (bank) building which was constructed in 2008.

12
 We found some cracks at infill brick wall but local representative said that the cracks were before the
earthquake.

6: Sreemangal Fire Station: This is a two storied (B-type) office cum residence building which was
constructed in 1982. We found a few diagonal cracks in infill brick wall, but no damage found in
structural elements

7: Labor Welfare Division for Tea Industry: This is a three storied building which was constructed in
1962. Who were present at that building told that they heard a loud sound and felt heavy shaking in the
time of the earthquake, but no damage found in the building.

8: Kamalganj Thana bldg.: This is a two storied building which was constructed in 2009. We found lots
of cracks (horizontal cracks) and heavy damage in infill brick walls & duct walls. Who were present at
that building they heard a loud sound and felt very severe shaking during the time of the earthquake.

9: Kamalganj Fire Station: This is a two storied (B-type) office cum residence building which was
constructed in 2012. We found lots of diagonal cracks in infill brick walls, as well as cracks and heavy
damage in structural elements around the base of the building. We observed the soil settlement occurred
around the building, but any evidence of liquefaction was found by us. And because of the settlement,
water supply was damaged. Who were present at that building they heard a loud sound and felt heavy
shake in the time of earthquake.

3) Liquefaction
Near Kamalganj Thana building, there were liquefaction traces in the playground, which was filled by
sand and with high water level. According to the information by newspapers liquefied places are something
like above, namely, filled by sand with high water level. This is one of the most likely to liquefy. Instead,
in Sreemangol, we could not find liquefaction traces.
