For someone who professes to know so much about Bangladesh, you should know some basics of the terrain. I thought you fought in the 71 war?
For those who still wonder why we don’t have huge skyscrapers, Dhaka sits on the mouth of 2 rivers (in fact most Bangladesh is part of the delta) and consists of alluvial soil, a minimum of 80 meters to the bedrock.
So to make 50 plus floor towers you’d need to do a lot of piling to the bedrock or/and provide a mat slab foundation (both very expensive). Then you have to factor in the risk of the soft sandy soil to liquefaction during earth quakes....etc. So you see that’s why we are unlikely to have many towers above those heights (plus having an international airport in what is now effectively the centre of the city, legally prevents anyone building super tall’s).
For more information on commercial buildings and projects in Dhaka please have a look here.
You appear to be a Hopalong Cassidy.
You people don't even read the post and just take off as the fastest gun in the West!
I replied to the post that stated it is not possible to build high rise in Dacca.
I say it is possible.
You reply meandering into redundant and irrelevant
baat cheet about alluvial soil and earthquakes and then append a link that proves my point that it is feasible to build high rises in Dacca and is being done!!
So, you want to argue for the sake of arguing and with total irrelevance to say that I am wrong and then append a link to prove that what I am saying is right.
When one is in a war, one does not go all around the country testing soil. Or do they? One has a general idea based on the movement of war matériel. Another irrelevant issue being cranked in without logic.
I hope you are aware that one reclaimed land from the sea, skyscrapers have been constructed. Take Backbay Reclamation for instance.
Are you aware that the 1476m high Petrona Towers has been built on the alluvial soil?
If anyone wants to build skyscrapers on any type of soil, one has to incorporate earthquake proof engineering.
Lastly, skyscrapers don't come cheap to build! So, what are you trying to convey by telling us that building skyscrapers are expensive?
You link proves my point that high rises are possible in Dacca and are being built.
So, what is your point?
Some way to squeeze in some propaganda about Bangaldesh by hook or by crook, even though I find no reason why high rise is not possible as was being propounded by a BD poster?
