24 – 25 August 2026
9:00 am – 5:30 pm
IIT Guwahati
Organized by the Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Guwahati (Supported by SPARC)
The Workshop will broadly cover the following topics through lectures and a laboratory visit.
Fragility relationships, earthquake vulnerability, seismic response and performance assessment.
RC wall-frame buildings, masonry-infilled RC buildings, damage assessment and structural fragility.
Risk assessment, ageing-induced deterioration, resilience and probabilistic life-extension assessment.
Steel petrochemical plants, bridges in hilly regions, corrosion-deteriorated RC structures and multiple hazards.
OpenSees-REOS risk analysis platform, structural modelling, fragility and probabilistic assessment.
Tsunami hazard assessment, structural response and development of tsunami-resilient structures for coastal regions.
Participants are expected to gain a basic understanding of seismic vulnerability, fragility, risk, and resilience assessment of structures and infrastructure, and to learn probabilistic and multi-hazard assessment approaches, including earthquake, tsunami, ageing, and deterioration effects, along with their practical applications.
The Workshop is open to practising engineers, industry professionals and consultants. Final-year undergraduate students of Civil Engineering, postgraduate students of Structural Engineering specialization, and faculty members of engineering colleges and polytechnics are also eligible. Seats are also available for researchers from R&D laboratories.
Minimum: 20 Participants
Maximum: 40 Participants
Participants who attend all the lectures will receive a Certificate of Participation.
No prior tools/software knowledge is required.
