Top Structural Engineering Consultancy Firm in Bangladesh
The most necessary and important part of any structure is to test the foundation soils. It’s always better to hire the Best Soil Test Company in Dhaka, Bangladesh. A building rests on soil its whole life. Structural engineers can’t design the structure without knowing the soil’s bearing capacity and physical properties. Whether it’s a shallow or deep foundation, soil testing is essential.
Bangladesh is a highly earthquake-prone country. A proper soil test from a reputable company like New Design & Consultant (NDC) assures your building’s long-term safety and durability. NDC proudly conducted the sub-soil investigation for the Bangabandhu Satellite Ground Station, Gazipur.

Our Structural Analysis and Design Process:
Step-01: Program Formulations:
In this step, We try to collect the general project information. Also, thoroughly review the Architectural Designs for the selection of Building Frame systems. We also, consider the Structural Irregularities n this Phase. Our project formulations are incredible to cover every step of our work in progress. The following considerations are noted down:
- Location of the Building
- Number of Units on Each Floor
- Height of Plinth Level
- Floor-to-Floor Height
- Number of Stories
- Types of Occupancy/Building Use
- Types of Exposures
- Roof Top Usage
- Number of Basement Floors or not
- Types of Foundation Soil
- Surrounding Structures
- Use of Ground Floor
Step-2: Selection of Framing Systems:
In this step, we try to select the Building heights and framing systems as per Architectural. There are different types of building Framing systems are listed below:
- Load Bearing System
- Tubular Structural System
- Bundle Tube System
- Beam, Column System
- Branched Tube System
- Beam, Column & Shear Wall System
- Tube in Tube System
Step-3: Selection of Foundation Type:
After analyzing and reviewing the soil Test report, we select a preliminary Foundation Type. The Foundation type depends on the bearing capacity of the subsoil. There are two types of Foundations:
- Shallow Foundation-Footing Foundation
- Deep Foundation-Pile Foundation
Step-4: Load Calculation of Building:
Load calculation is the most important part of Structural Design. An experienced Structural Engineer always calculates the superimposed load in an efficient way. We are the Top Structural Engineering Firm in Bangladesh with more than 13 years of experience. Different types of loads are calculated in Building Design are listed below:
- Dead Loads-Self Weight of Building, Fixed Walls, Fixed Furniture, Fixed Equipment, etc.
- Wind Load- Load Due to Wind Flow or Surge
- Temperature Load- Load Induced Due to Change in Temperature
- Live Loads – Human Loads, Temporary Partitions, Moveable Furniture, Moveable Equipment Floor Finish, False Ceiling, etc.
- Snow Load- Load Due to Snow Fall
- Earthquake Load – Load Due to Earthquake
- Rain Load- Load Due to Rainfall
Step-5: Structural Analysis:
In this step, we perform the structural analysis to compute the Moment, Shear, and Torsion for each member. We also compute the support reaction from the analysis result, which is used for foundation design. Also, calculate the top defection of the building and story drift to the allowable limit.
Step-6: Structural Design:
We use the Structural Analysis output data for Structural Design. We design the Individual members Like Beams, Columns, Slabs, and Shear Walls according to the Shear, Moment, and Tensional Forces. Finally, we design to find the size of members and quantity of reinforcement. We also, consider the concrete strength and yield strength of reinforcement in structural design. Safe and economic design is the key target of an experienced Structural Engineer.
Step-7: Drafting and Printing:
At last, we interpret the designed data with Auto CAD Drafting Software. Try to compute the step-by-step design data in separate sheets with proper detailing and specifications. Finally, we deliver the design sheets to the client in printed formats.
Conclusions:
Structural analysis and design is a complex and methodical process that involves advanced calculations, where even minor errors can lead to major risks. That’s why it requires the expertise of a highly experienced structural engineering firm. **New Design & Consultant (NDC)** has been providing professional structural engineering services in Bangladesh for over a decade. Our team of skilled and experienced engineers is fully capable of managing the design process for all types of building structures, ensuring safety, precision, and code compliance at every stage.
