BD civil engineers must know about a very important subject, named "Soil Mechanics". Without knowing it thoroughly, they build earthen dikes that do not last and roads are broken in a few months.
I wonder if they know and practice CBR (California Bearing Ratio) tests in BD before designing and constructing an important road.
Since our elite engineers do not know about soil engineering, the govt has to subcontract Chinese and Korean companies to do the bridge foundation works.
Soil mechanics involve also how to analyze soil boring data acquired after the Standard Penetration Tests.
Lack of knowledge of soil mechanics or its lack of application makes our country dependent upon foreign companies. India does not and its own engineers design and build all the important structures.
These BUET guys think they are the bees knees
