ISOGKP · Where Science Meets Engineering
Earthquake Engineering
Seismic safety of buildings and civil infrastructure through modelling, testing and field observations.
What we do
Earthquake Engineering
Earthquakes rank among the most destructive natural hazards, striking with little or no warning and causing severe loss of life and major economic disruption. Modern earthquake engineering emerged as a distinct discipline in the mid-twentieth century and has advanced rapidly since the 1960s. Our Department prioritizes the seismic safety of buildings and civil infrastructure, integrating analytical modelling, experimental testing, and field observations to assess risk and develop effective mitigation strategies.
