ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
This International Conference is in continuation of previous six such conferences in which five were organized by Missouri University of Science & Technology, Rolla, USA, and the latest one was organized in Delhi under the leadership of Prof. Shamsher Prakash. The 7th International Conference on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics (ICRAGEE) will be held at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore during July 13-16, 2020. The conference shall have invited Plenary lectures, Keynote Lectures, State of the Art and Practice (SOAP) Lectures, Special Presentation Lectures (SPL) and contributed original research papers for discussion and publication in the proceedings. It will provide a platform to review the contributions and accomplishments in the field of soil dynamics in the last few years and draw an agenda for the future course of action keeping the national and global needs in the forefront.
Department of Civil Engineering, IISc
Department of Civil Engineering of the Indian Institute of Science was established in the year 1950 and has grown over the years into one of the finest centres of advanced research and training in the field of civil engineering. The department served as the nodal centre for execution of the National Program on Earthquake Engineering Education (2003-07) and National Program on Capacity Building in Earthquake Engineering Research and Materials (2004-07). Over the years, the department has built excellent experimental and computational facilities for carrying out advanced research in frontier areas of civil and earthquake Engineering.
Indian Society of Earthquake Technology (ISET)
The ISET, established in 1962, is a founder member of the International Association for Earthquake Engineering (IAEE) and represents India on world fora dealing with various aspects of earthquake engineering. The society is represented by its President as the National Delegate and the Vice-President as the Deputy National Delegate in the General Assembly of Delegates of the IAEE. The Executive Committee of ISET acts as the 'Indian National Committee on Earthquake Engineering'. The ISET also contributes in the formulation of various Indian Standard Codes of Practice related to earthquake engineering. The society has 11 local chapters with total current membership over 1800.
