Abstract: Site safety is an important function regardless of project size. A key goal, which must be met for a successful project, is to finish the project with a good safety record. Construction safety is an important issue in all over the world. Today, developed countries strictly follow the safety procedure to avoid any hazard, accident or fatality. But for a least developed country like Bangladesh, accidents and fatalities are still quite high due to lack of safety management. With the increased volume of construction work in Bangladesh, the need for proper attention in safety issues has become essential for humanitarian, economic and other consideration. Recently, lots of accidents are taking place in construction sites of Bangladesh causing severe injury to death to the workers and pedestrians. There are a number of reasons/factors that these high numbers are widespread to the construction industry that are not found in most other fields. The objective of this research work is to identify

Abstract: In this paper, the effects of soil-structure interaction is evaluated in seismic response of non-geometric vertically irregular steel buildings. Non-uniform distribution of mass along the height of a 10 story steel frame building with fully restrained moment connections is investigated in the framework of random analysis. Frequency-independent spring and dashpot set in parallel was used to involve soil-structure interaction effects in the analysis procedure. The results are compared in form of the maximum mean square value of story drift response. It is observed that foundation flexibility varies demand distribution through structure height. Depend on the position of heavier stories, the maximum mean square value of story drifts change, as well. Compare to the regular structure, mass irregularity through the bottom half stories of structure has the maximum demand difference in case of fixed base model. Among the flexible base structures, mass irregularity of the 5th floor has the maxim
