[pawan]

The Department of Earthquake Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee was established in 1960 as School of Research and Training in Earthquake Engineering.

Four major areas of earthquake engineering viz., Structural Dynamics, Soil Dynamics, Engineering Seismology and Seismotectonics, and Instrumentation have been nurtured for the last fifty years.

The department provides Masters degree in three specializations namely, Structural Dynamics, Soil Dynamics, and Seismic Vulnerability and risk Assessment.

The major functions of the Department include teaching and research, and rendering expert advice to various organizations in the area of earthquake resistant design of structures and systems, such as dams, bridges, power plants, etc.
