The seminar will highlight the critical role of shear walls in ensuring stability during earthquakes, offering attendees practical knowledge on seismic analysis, design techniques, and detailing practices. Participants will gain insights into best practices, structural codes, reinforcement methods, and innovations for optimizing building performance under seismic loads.
Distinguished Speakers and Expert Panel
The seminar will feature a keynote address by Lt Col Dr. Khondaker Shakil Ahmed, PhD, PEng, Associate Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST). Dr. Ahmed is a respected figure in structural engineering and sustainable construction, with significant research contributions in retrofitting structures, bond strength in reinforced concrete, and the use of recycled materials in construction.
The expert panel will also include Abdullah Al Hossain Chowdhury, PEng, Managing Director at Inter Space Limited, who specializes in structural engineering. Both speakers will provide valuable insights into contemporary challenges, innovative solutions, and real-world applications in seismic design and detailing.
