[🇧🇩] Bangladesh Urban Development

[Saif]

Some upcoming and current mid-rises in Dhaka which are all around 40 stories tall.

Paucity of land makes it imperative for the government to develop Dhaka vertically not horizontally.

More expensive in Dhaka to build highrises.

Soil is rather soft, need deeper foundations. You can go down hundreds of feet and still find no baserock.

Plus nowadays there is Earthquake proofing which need to be considered.

Anything above 45 stories needs to be steel framed with steel columns and girders.

I am surprised that they are still using RCC to build mid-rises above 30 stories which are a huge earthquake risk.
