There may be a potential cause of pounding due to different vibration modes of two dissimilar structures. The factory management has already arranged a Detail Engineering Assessment (DEA) from CUET and it has been concluded that the structure is properly designed as per code requirement. The single storied main factory building with a mezzanine floor and the single storied canteen have different framing system and both of them are connected at the ground floor level through a covered passageway. This may be a potential cause of pounding due to different vibration modes of two dissimilar structures. The fixed covered passageway need to be replaced with a sliding one to avoid pounding immediately. Bracings need to be provided to the steam pipes and other utility items which are hanging from the roof, immediately. The use of the building in its present condition may continue with due regards to the observations made above. WASH BUILDING This building has fallen in GREEN (safe) category considering the Factor of Safety (FOS) of all types of columns. From ASCE31 checklist, it is observed that some columns of ground floor do not satisfy the minimum requirements of shear stress. The affected columns need to be identified through DEA and strengthened immediately. The 3 storied extension building and the single storied washing plant have different framing system and both of them are connected at the ground & first floor levels; during occurrence of an earthquake pounding may occur. Sufficient gap based on DEA need to be provided to avoid pounding immediately. BUILDING INTEGRITY INSPECTION SUMMARY KENPARK BANGLADESH PVT LTD (UNIT 1) PAGE 2/6
Bracings need to be provided to the steam pipes and other utility items which are hanging from the roof, immediately. The use of the building in its present condition may continue with due regards to the observations made above. DRY PROCESS BUILDING The slender column used as central support appeared to be vulnerable under earthquake (strong beam weak column).the building has been tagged as AMBER with Detailed Engineering Assessment (DEA) to be commenced immediately and completed within the next 6 weeks. Bracings need to be provided to the steam pipes and other utility items which are hanging from the roof, immediately. The use of the building in its present condition may continue with due regards to the observations made above. SEISMIC PERFORMANCE EVALUATION I.

Seismic Performance Ratings (http://www.berkeley.edu/administration/facilities/safer/findings.html#rating ) GOOD FAIR POOR VERY POOR Buildings and other structures whose performance during a major seismic disturbance is anticipated to result in structural and nonstructural damage and/or falling hazards that would not significantly jeopardize life. Buildings and other structures with a GOOD rating would represent an acceptable level of earthquake safety, such that funds need not be spent to improve their seismic resistance to gain greater life safety. Buildings and other structures whose performance during a major seismic disturbance is anticipated to result in structural and nonstructural damage and/or falling hazards that would represent low life hazards. Buildings and other structures with a FAIR seismic rating would be given a low priority for expenditures to improve their seismic resistance and/or to reduce falling hazards so that the building could be reclassified GOOD. Buildings and other structures expected to sustain significant structural and nonstructural damage and/or result in falling hazards in a major seismic disturbance, representing appreciable life hazards. Such buildings or structures either would be given a high priority for expenditures to improve their seismic resistance and/or to reduce falling hazards so that the building could be reclassified GOOD, or would be considered for other abatement programs, such as reduction of occupancy. Buildings and other structures whose performance during a major seismic disturbance is anticipated to result in extensive structural and nonstructural damage, potential structural collapse, and/or falling hazards that would represent high life hazards. Such buildings or structures either would be given BUILDING INTEGRITY INSPECTION SUMMARY KENPARK BANGLADESH PVT LTD (UNIT 1) PAGE 5/6
the highest priority for expenditures to improve their seismic resistance and/or to reduce falling hazards so that the building could be reclassified GOOD, or would be considered for other abatement programs, such as reduction of occupancy.
