Description: The aim of this study is to create a Mercalli intensity map and evaluate the ground failure probability caused by liquefaction in the Bogura district. To generate a Mercalli intensity seismic microzonation map, first the shear wave velocity (Vs) was determined by analyzing data from 345 soil test reports. The conversion of Vs to site amplification factor (AF) and Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) was carried out using the widely used empirical equations, considering earthquake magnitudes 1850–2023. Finally, the susceptibility of liquefaction was evaluated for the study area using 345 borehole data, considering a probable earthquake magnitude and site-specific PGA. Some of the frequently used empirical methods are utilized for the evaluation, and the results are presented in the form of hazard maps indicating factors of safety, liquefaction potential, and ground failure probability. The results demonstrate that the least and maximum PGA are both 0.06 g and 0.16 g, while the AF ranges from 1.903 to 3.98 between the minimum and maximum. Moreover, the surface acceleration (SA) varies between 0.143 g and 0.51 g. Based on the Mercalli Intensity seismic microzonation map, 22.45% of the areas have intensity VII, 72.9% of the regions have intensity VIII, and 4.65% of the areas have intensity IX. The hazard map reveals that 2% of the study region is judged to be at extremely high risk for ground failure due to liquefaction during the scenario earthquake. Additionally, it was determined that 13% and 44% of the study region's regions were at high or moderate risk of ground failure under the aforementioned earthquake scenario. The intensity and hazard maps created for Bogura district are crucial to achieving sustainable development goals.

Description: Soft cohesive soils have low strength, high plasticity, and a large expansion ratio making them unsuitable as a road subgrade. This study aims to evaluate the potential of power plant waste (fly ash) from the Barapukuria Thermal Power Plant, Dinajpur, Bangladesh to improve the characteristics of such soft cohesive soil. X-ray fluorescence test conducted to classify the power plant fly ash and the type was identified as “Class F” according to “American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials” and "American Society for Testing and Materials". Laboratory tests were conducted on clay soil obtained from Dinajpur region modified by the collected power plant waste. As the Class F fly ash has low cementing property, 3% cement was added with it. Cement mixed soil was modified with 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% fly ash respectively. Specific Gravity, Atterberg limits, Modified Proctor Compaction, Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests were conducted. The study reveals that there is a decrease in specific gravity, dry density, and plasticity index with the addition of power plant waste. On the other hand, there is an increase in optimum moisture content, UCS, and CBR value. UCS and CBR values were found to be improved remarkably. Soaked CBR value of soil is found to be improved from 2.79% to 92.59% when treated with 5% fly ash and 3% cement. The UCS value of this modified soil was 560.36 kPa. The stabilized soil thus obtained meets the requirements for subgrade as specified by the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED)’s design manual (2005), Bangladesh. Since there is a possibility of leaching by dumping a large quantity of fly ash in the pond, the use of fly ash from the power plants to improve soft cohesive soils for road subgrade may be an environment-friendly alternative to its disposal in the ponds.
