Introduction
Mr Enayet is currently working in a research project on Developing Flash Flood Early Warning System (FFEWS), Capacity Building and Knowledge Management for the Haor Region of Bangladesh. He is handling the work of interconnecting two different software (HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS) in a single Graphic User Interface (GUI) of the Delft-FEWS flood forecasting system by Deltares.
He started his career with several non-funded research works spanning from assessing the river training work by Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB) to low-cost river bank protection (by bio-engineering). His undergraduate thesis work involved creating an infiltration model to correlate infiltration rate with time for vegetated soil. He is currently working as a Lecturer in IWFM, BUET.

The northeast region of Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to flash floods which often damage the only crop of that region, the boro rice. Developing an efficient and real-time flash flood forecasting system for that region is found essential. The traditional model-centric approach requires plenty of time and manpower to effectively model flash floods...
Cities built on deltaic regions are always prone to environmental risks like aggravated flooding, wetland reduction, compromised water quality, continuing water scarcity, and tainted air and these have been remarkable as the challenges while urbanizing deltas. On top of that, rapid urbanization adds more to the deterioration of ecosystem functions....
In geotechnical engineering practices, vertical anchor blocks are considered as a robust structural measure to counter the exerted pullout forces from the retaining structure and to maintain the overall stability of it. Several theoretical models are available in the literature to estimate the pullout capacity of the vertical anchor in cohesionless...
Riverbank erosion is a natural geophysical process of Bangladesh due to the dynamic nature of the deltaic river systems and their numerous tributaries and distributaries. Conventional interventions that work against the natural power of the rivers such as groynes, spurs, revetment, etc. have a mixed experience of failure/success to cope up with the...
This study mathematically correlates the infiltration rate of vegetated soil with time and demonstrates how to estimate the amount of infiltration in any type of vegetated soil without conducting a field experiment. Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides) was planted in two plots: one with cohesive soil and one with cohesionless soil. The infiltration was...
Rainfall events on hill slopes can cause both soil erosion and slope failures. With global climate change, the frequency of these events is increasing with greater consequences. Rainfall-induced erosion need to be studied in an integrated way to understand hill slope sediment yields. Among different methods for controlling erosion and slope stabili...
Slope stability analysis for evaluating landslide potential excludes the effect of rainfall while determining the Factor of Safety (FOS). This study involves the simulation of rainfall on slopes through hydraulic unit flux boundary condition to evaluate the FOS. Infiltration data taken from perforated tray rainfall simulator was used as the hydraul...
Rainfall intensity and distribution has a great effect on soil erosion. In this study, a portable perforated steel tray is developed and calibrated to simulate artificial rainfall which can be used for investigation of soil erosion under a certain rainfall.The simulator's performance was compared with available tray and drip-type simulators as well...
This study aspires to represent a wholesome advertence on the River Training Work (RTW) of Padma River (Bangladesh) based on an in-situ observation, scrutinizing the process weighing it against various river slope protection criteria. Geotextile bags and Cement Concrete (CC) blocking are the main features for slope protection in this project where...

This study establishes a mathematical relationship between angle of internal friction, fines content and maximum or minimum dry density for non-plastic fines. Sand samples of three different fineness moduli (1.3, 1.5 and 1.7) were used and six different percentages (0, 3, 5, 8, 10, 15% by weight) of fines content were simulated for each fineness mo...
A portable perforated steel tray for artificial rainfall simulation is
designed and calibrated in this study. Its performance is also
evaluated compared to other conventional tray and spray-type
rainfall simulators as well as the natural rainfall. This simulator is
capable of producing storms up to 188 mm/h within 10 minutes
duration with a drop si...

This Poster Presentation authentically represents a review on current River Training Work of Padma Multipurpose Bridge Project, showing the adversities faced for prosecuting the design and construction, and most importantly how they have been overcome in the ongoing process.
Questions
Questions (20)
Suppose flash flood has been occurred at one point (Latitude X, Longitude Y). We know clearly that the elevation, slope, rainfall, curvature, etc. of that exact one point (X,Y) are not the only factor of causing that flash flood but also the elevation, rainfall etc. of the upstream areas of that point are the main culprit.
My question is how can I correlate or show that the upstream elevation has influence on the flash flood at the downstream?
How can I decide the superiority of a mathematical model from ANOVA tests?
Please, discuss this in simple language. I have read enough about it on the internet but not convinced enough to use it in my research works related to Geotechnical Engineering.
Dear Altruists,
Can you please describe a suitable method for analyzing bending moment diagram of a beam with a concentrated load on exactly its internal hinge?
I am just searching for suitable softwares to perform ANOVA tests.
Do they have any correlation with Infiltration Capacity of soil and Vegetation?
There are various analytical model for infiltration in bare soil like Kostiakov's equation, Phillip's equation , Horton's equation, Green Ampt Model etc. Horton's equation somehow addresses the effect of vegetation in the equation but others don't. I am recently working to identify the infiltration characteristic of soil in the presence of Vetiver. Besides physical modeling I want to compare it with analytic models also. That's why I am asking about this.
It's easy to install on a horizontal physical model. But how can I set it on slope? Will it match with ASTM standard? I want to measure the infiltration characteristic of a vegetated slope with vetiver grass.
We are targeting mainly two journals: Plant and Soil; Paddy and Water Environment.
I want to calculate skewness and kurtosis DIRECTLY from lognormal distribution graph using 84.1 percentile value, 15.9 percentile value, geometric mean, geometric standard deviation etc. whatever it takes.........(using a log-probability graph paper)
We have recently submitted a manuscript of our paper to Electronic Journal of Geotechnical Engineering (EJGE) for reviewing purpose. But only 7 days later, they published our paper on their current volume (2018) without our permission or any kind of Copyright agreement and above all, without any kind of Peer Review. Now we want to remove our paper from their website. Is it Possible? Even it's now included in the Beall's List of Predatory Open Access Journals. We don't want to waste our paper by publishing it on a predatory journal. They said that they have an editorial board but how it can be reviewed within only 7 days time? But we knew it as a good journal before, what happened to it?
I want to open my google scholar account with my Gmail address.
It will be great if you can attach the algorithm in an m.file or any matlab coded script............just the default algorithm of Levender-Marquardt used by Matlab.
I am trying to know the algorithm of Matlab Polynomial Surface Fitting.

Detailed desk review of water quality issues of 54 Transboundary Rivers. Water quality monitoring and water quality modeling in two priority transboundary catchments in Bangladesh to aid in the development of a long-term monitoring plan. Develop a WQM system for the priority catchments and propose a generic WQM database scheme for other rivers.
The overall objective of the present research is to assess the stability of slopes in the hill slopes. The specific objectives include:
(1) To determine the soil characteristics of Chittagong hill tracts area of Bangladesh.
(2) To make a comparative assessment of different of slope stabilization methods in order to select suitable measures in the context of Bangladesh hill tracts.
