Prof. T.G. Sitharam is currently the Director of Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, India. He is a KSIIDC Chair Professor in the area of Energy and Mechanical Sciences and Senior Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru (IISc). He was the founder Chairman of the Center for Infrastructure, Sustainable Transport and Urban Planning (CiSTUP) at IISc, and is presently the Chairman of the AICTE South Western Zonal Committee, Regional office at Bengaluru and Vice President of the Indian Society for Earthquake Technology (ISET). Prof Sitharam is the founder President of the International Association for Coastal Reservoir Research (IACRR). He has been a Visiting Professor at Yamaguchi University, Japan; University of Waterloo, Canada; University of Dolhousie, Halifax, Canada; and ISM Dhanbad, Jharkhand, and was a Research Scientist at the Center for Earth Sciences and Engineering, University of Texas at Austin, Texas, USA until 1994.
Dr. Mukat Lal Sharma is a Professor at the Department of Earthquake Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, India with over 35 years of experience in teaching, research and consultancy. Prof. Sharma has rendered expert advice to more than 500 engineering sites regarding seismic hazard and risk assessment. His long association with strong ground motion program of Department of Science and Technology has resulted in the development of Ground Motion Prediction Equations for Himalayas. He initiated the Earthquake Early Warning system approach for disaster mitigation and management in India. Based on his contributions towards disaster mitigation he was conferred with the A. S. Arya-IITR Disaster prevention award in 2012. He was president of Indian Society of Earthquake Technology, India during 2015-2019 and Head, Department of Earthquake Engineering, IIT Roorkee during 2012-2016.
This volume presents select papers presented at the 7th International Conference on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics. The papers discuss advances in the fields of soil dynamics and geotechnical earthquake engineering. Some of the themes include seismic risk assessment, engineering seismology, wave propagation, remote sensing applications for geohazards,engineering vibrations, etc. A strong emphasis is placed on connecting academic research and field practice, with many examples, case studies, best practices, and discussions on performance based design. This volume will be of interest to researchers and practicing engineers alike.
