STUDY ON THE ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF SOFT SOIL IN BANGLADESH OF GANGES RIVER DELTA

The Ganges delta region is located in the Bangladesh area of South Asia, including Bangladesh and Bengal of western India, rivers pouring into the Bay of Bengal. This is one of the biggest delta in the world, and also one of the most fertile areas in the world. The region has a wide distribution in soft soil, which is loose and has a large thickness. The soft soil foundation usually lead to larger or uneven settlement, and affect the safety of engineering structures. This article mainly study and summarize the Ganges delta soft soil engineering properties according to Dasherkandi sewage treatment plant project combined with several nearby projects of Bangladesh.
