The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, Department of Earthquake Engineering and The Indian Society of Earthquake Technology (ISET) organised the 16th Symposium on Earthquake Engineering to discuss and evaluate the current earthquake resistant design practices and suggest enhancement/ modifications to various agencies in the country for implementation.
The symposium aims to evolve key guidelines, for communication to various agencies. It acted as a platform for researchers, professionals, planners and policy makers associated with earthquake engineering to share views and exchange professional experience and recent technological advances in earthquake engineering and allied fields. The event, held once in four years, attracted a galaxy of internationally renowned experts presenting cutting-edge research and practical applications in this field.
The event focused on evolving appropriate strategies to enhance the knowledge on earthquake resistant construction for the end-users & draw an agenda for future course of action, in the wake of damaging scenarios due to the recent earthquakes faced by the country.
