To design a prevention and control strategy for this new infectious disease, it is essential to first understand people’s knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding COVID-19. This study sought to determine KAP among rural and urban residents as well as predictors of preventive practices associated with COVID-19 in Bangladesh. A social media-based (Facebook) cross-sectional survey was conducted to explore these variables among Bangladeshi adults. Of 1520 respondents who completed the questionnaire, low level of good or sufficient knowledge of COVID-19 (70.8%) and practices associated with COVID-19 (73.8%) were found. Despite the low level of knowledge and practices, respondents’ attitude (78.9%) towards COVID-19 was relatively high. Results suggest that compared to urban, rural residents are at a particularly high risk of COVID-19 because they were foun...

Flat plate system has been adopted in many buildings constructed recently taking advantage of the reduced floor height to meet the economical and architectural demands. However, In Multistoried structures the flat plate floor system has week resistance to lateral loads like wind and earthquake hence this paper is concerned to increase lateral stiffness of flat plate structure and to minimize the displacement of the structure under lateral loading. This paper is also concerned about column axial load and to review our structure with special features like shear walls & diagonal bracing. In present work, a 15 storied flat plate garments building have been modeled using software package "STAAD Pro" for earthquake zone II in Bangladesh .This model is considered in most vulnerable situation where we took wind speed as 260 kmph and Earthquake load has been taken as per Bangladesh National Building Code(BNBC)
