  • 5. PRELIMINARY FACILITY DESIGN 5.1 Preliminary Design of River
    THE FEASIBILITY STUDY OF PADMA BRIDGE FINAL REPORT – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - MARCH 2005 results of simulations suggest that the hydraulic design parameters for the preliminary designs are appropriate and adverse impacts due to the project construction will be minor in terms of hydrodynamics and river morphology for the design flood under 2003/04 conditions. The impacts, indicated as the differences in the ‘without project’ and ‘with project’ scenario conditions, are minor as a whole. For the design flood of the 100-year return period, the increment of the highest water level is almost negligible and only a +0.1m/sec increment would occur in the depth-averaged flow velocity. Two-dimensional Modeling and Simulation (2003/04 Padma 2-D Long-term Model): The long-term simulation represents the indicative tendency for riverbed scour or deposition for locations for periods of 5 and 10 years respectively. The simulation results suggest that no large impact in terms of mid- and long-term morphological processes would be expected from the project construction. (3) Estimate of Maximum Scour Depth Types of Riverbed Scour: Natural and structure-induced scours were taken into account in the estimation of maximum scour depth. The natural scour was estimated as the sum of bend and confluence scours that could occur simultaneously under the worst case scenario, while structure-induced scours such as those around the bank protection works and bridge piers were calculated under natural scour flow conditions. Design Maximum Scour Depth (DMSD): A total scour depth was calculated assuming the worst combination of the relevant types of scour. In order to account for extra scour, which may be induced by unforeseen and compounding structural influences, the total scour was multiplied by a factor of 1.20 to determine the design maximum scour depth (DMSD).

  • Terms of Reference (Tor)
    Terms of Reference (ToR) for Feasibility study for Construction of Bridges over the river Meghna on Shariatpur- Chandpur road & Gazaria-Munshigonj road and preparation of Master Plan for Bangladesh Bridge Authority. 1. Background 1.1 Introduction of the organization Bangladesh Bridge Authority (BBA) is a statutory body under Bridges Division of the Ministry of Road Transport & Bridges. It is the mandate of BBA to undertake technical research, feasibility study, development planning, detailed design, activities associated with the project implementation (including Public Private Partnership projects), monitoring, evaluation, operation and maintenance of 1500 m and over Bridges, Tunnels, Elevated Expressways and related Flyovers, cause way & ring road. Since its establishment in 1985, the BBA has successfully constructed the Bangabandhu Bridge in 1998 and Mukterpur Bridge in 2008, which are now operated and maintained by the same organization. The other major projects under implementation by the BBA includes: Padma Multipurpose Bridge Project at Mawa-Janjira, Dhaka Elevated Expressway PPP Project, Karnaphuli Tunnel Project (Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Tunnel), Dhaka-Ashulia Elevated Expressway, Dhaka Bus Rapid Transport Corridor (BRT) Project (Elevated Portion), SASEC Road Connectivity Project (Elenga-Htikamrul part). All these Projects are being implemented through different procurement modes. In addition, feasibility studies for construction of subway in Dhaka city and Five new Bridges at different locations (Paira Bridge, Karkhana Bridge, Meghna Bridge, Bhola Bridge and Biskhali Bridge) are progressing. Some other mega projects in the pipeline are Dhaka East-West Elevated Expressway and feasibility study for Tunnel under the river Jamuna. Bangladesh is a riverine country and the whole country is divided into 3 (Three) parts like East, North and South by the river Jamuna, Padma & Meghna.

  • A Century of Riverbank Protection and River Training in Bangladesh
    water Article A Century of Riverbank Protection and River Training in Bangladesh Knut Oberhagemann 1,*, A. M. Aminul Haque 2 and Angela Thompson 1 1 Northwest Hydraulic Consultants, Edmonton, AB T6X 0E3, Canada; [email protected] 2 Bangladesh Water Development Board, Dhaka 1205, Bangladesh; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 September 2020; Accepted: 25 October 2020; Published: 27 October 2020 Abstract: Protecting against riverbank erosion along the world’s largest rivers is challenging. The Bangladesh Delta, bisected by the Brahmaputra River (also called the Jamuna River), is rife with complexity. Here, an emerging middle-income country with the world’s highest population density coexists with the world’s most unpredictable and largest braided, sand-bed river. Bangladesh has struggled over decades to protect against the onslaught of a continuously widening river corridor. Many of the principles implemented successfully in other parts of the world failed in Bangladesh. To this end, Bangladesh embarked on intensive knowledge-based developments and piloted new technologies. After two decades, successful, sustainable, low-cost riverbank protection technology was developed, suitable for the challenging river conditions. It was necessary to accept that no construction is permanent in this morphologically dynamic environment. What was initially born out of fund shortages became a cost-effective, systematic and adaptive approach to riverbank protection using improved knowledge, new materials, and new techniques, in the form of geobag revetments. This article provides an overview of the challenges faced when attempting to stabilize the riverbanks of the mighty rivers of Bangladesh. An overview of the construction of the major bridge crossings as well as riverbank protection schemes is detailed.
