MESSAGE FROM ISET PRESIDENT

Dear Fellows/Members,

I am grateful to ISET fraternity for their unflinching support to me during my 2011-13 term and feel highly honoured for giving me further chance to serve as President, ISET for another term (2013-15). During the Golden Jubilee year of the Society, a number of technical activities were organized including the 'ISET Golden Jubilee Symposium' held on October 20-21, 2012, which was a great success.

Due to certain constraints, some of the activities planned during the period could not materialize and also there was not much progress with regard to ISET Journal publications.

The new Executive Committee took charge on April 26, 2013, and has resolved to take up and pursue vigorously the following activities during the next two years:

1. One-day Workshop on themes of interest to common public may be conducted by ISET Local Chapters as part of their activities.

2. ISET should explore possibility for instituting awards for technology development in the area of Earthquake Technology.

3. Publication of 'ISET Golden Jubilee Jai Krishna Commemorative Volume on Earthquake Engineering', which is in progress.

4. Updating of membership database/membership directory.

5. Institution of new Managing Committees of Local Chapters, wherever due.

6 Annual Meeting of Local Chapters should be organized.

7. Preparation of an updated Catalogue of earthquakes for the Indian region and neighborhood to serve as a Reference Catalogue. It was unanimously agreed to publish this Catalogue in a CD-format and to put the same on the Society Web-site.

8. All necessary steps be taken to publish the pending issues of ISET Journal as early as possible.

9. Establishment of new Local Chapters should also be explored.

I hereby solicit the support and the active participation of all the Fellows & Members of the Society in accomplishing the above mentioned tasks and other objectives to make ISET more vibrant and purposely. I also welcome your valuable inputs in making ISET to be more responsive and caring to the needs of the general public and other stakeholders for searching sustainable solutions to the earthquake problem.

(H.R. Wason)

FROM THE DESK OF THE SECRETARY

I am honoured in being nominated as Secretary of ISET for the term 2013-2015. Indeed, it is my great pleasure to assume this responsibility. At the outset, on behalf of the ISET, I would like to thank the members of outgoing executive committee for their tireless efforts for last two years of the society. New executive committee has assumed the charge with effect from April 26, 2013 New E.C. has nominated Dr. B.K. Maheshwari, Associate Professor, Department of Earthquake Engineering, IIT Roorkee as Editor of ISET for the term 2013-2015.

On behalf of the new EC and on my personal behalf, I assure you that under the dynamic leadership of its President Prof. H.R. Wason, and Vice-President Prof. M.L. Sharma, Head, Department of Earthquake Engineering, IIT Roorkee, new E.C. is determined to accelerate the functioning of ISET. All members of new team are dedicated to rejuvenate and synergize the society. Efforts have

been already started for this noble cause and I seek cooperation of each and every member of ISET, this in turn will lead to greater strength and energy.

One of the most important agenda of this two-year term is to rejuvenate the local chapters as these are the pillars and wings of the society and only through them ISET reaches to masses. Unfortunately at many chapters, elections have not been held from a long time and as a result few chapters are in a dormant state, this needs to be resolved as early as possible. Also opening of new chapters is welcomed in the city/state where this chapter has not been established yet. In addition, participation of ISET in important decision/policy making related to seismic risk reduction / mitigation at various Government platforms like NDMA / SDMAs is also being actively pursued.

We have already updated ISET website and gearing-up for publication of ISET journals timely.

Also, I request all the members to come forward to enhance the membership of the society and create vibrant atmosphere that breeds front runners, innovators, academicians, scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs in earthquake engineering innovations. I welcome your thoughts and ideas in our continuing mission of excellence at ISET.

rdTHE 33 ISET ANNUAL LECTURE

rdThe 33 ISET Annual Lecture was delivered on “The Journey Towards Seismic Safety in India” by Prof. Sudhir K. Jain, Director, Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, VGEC, Ahmedabad, Gujarat on Saturday, March 09, 2013 in the Conference Hall, Centre of Information Technolgy (CIT), Jamia Millia Islamia, Jamia Nagar, New Delhi. Prof. H.R. Wason, President, ISET presided over the function. Dr. Manish Shrikhande, Secretary, ISET introduced the eminent speaker. The abstract is given below:

Indian earthquake problem needs no introduction: large parts of India are prone to damaging earthquakes, und a large inventory of our constructions is prone to damages in strong shaking. Very high numbers of death in several Indian earthquakes in recent years clearly underline this problem. Notwithstanding the "problem", India has made a good progress on the road towards seismic safety' in recent times and the lecture will trace this journey towards seismic safety and underline the challenges and tasks that lie ahead. Earthquake safety is a rather challenging and sophisticated problem. In addition to engineering, it must involve social, political and economic interventions. Research articles, reports, microzonation maps, codes are all means to the end of improving what gets built on the ground, and do not make any difference till this end is realized. Hence, a narrow view of earthquake safety from 'earthquake' viewpoint cannot be effective and the focus must shift from 'earthquake engineering' to 'good building constructions'. In a country such as India where basic systems for good constructions are lacking, any interventions at the 'earthquake engineering' must go together with interventions towards better constructions. In developing countries such as India, the earthquake problem often consists of two parts. One part is that of the 'non-engineered constructions;' that is, unsafe buildings built by the public without engaging the engineers and architects. The second part of the problem is that even whenbuildings are constructed under engineering supervision, these may not be safe and may not comply with the codal requirements. For instance, the 130 multistorey buildings that collapsed in Ahmedabad (located 220 km away from the epicentre of the Bhuj earthquake in 2001) clearly illustrate second part of the problem. The first significant developments in India took place in Quetta in the 1930's with first earthquake resistant constructions after the Mach (1931) earthquake, followed by post-1935 earthquake reconstructions. The next phase of development happened in late 1950's-early 1960's when (a) teaching and research in earthquake engineering started at Roorkee (b) the Indian Society of Earthquake Technology (ISET)

Page No. 3

was established, and (c) a formal seismic code (IS1893) was published by the then Indian Standards Institute. As a result, good earthquake engineering practices could be incorporated in many major projects such as dams and power plants in India. The next significant movement on the road to seismic safety started in early 1990's with (a) development of ductile detailing code for RC structures (IS13920-1993), and (b) a massive continuing education programme initiated by IIT Kanpur to take the practice of earthquake engineering to the professional engineers. As a result, a significant number of professional engineers in India were well conversant with earthquake engineering by the time of 2001 Bhuj earthquake. This earthquake itself was another watershed event: a) it created an unprecedented level of awareness and concern for seismic safety, b) triggered most states and cities in the country to make seismic codes mandatory, and c) helped launch the National Programme on Earthquake Engineering Education (NPEEE) by the seven IITs and the lISc with support from the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) to take the subject into our engineering and architectural colleges. A review of proceedings of the Structural Engineers Forum of India (SEFI) shows the depth to which the subject has now penetrated into the academic and professional community in India; creation of SEFI in 2003 itself was a response to the 2001 Bhuj earthquake. Clearly, compared to numerous other developing countries, India has come a long way on the road to earthquake safety. And yet, a lot remains to be done before this journey is completed. Foremost among the unfinished agenda are: a) competence-based licensing of engineers in general and structural engineers in particular, and b) enforcement of building codes by the municipal authorities. Finally, we need to develop building typologies that are inherently safe against earthquakes, particularly keeping in view the non-engineered constructions.

Dr. Shrikhande proposed vote of thanks. The Annual Lecture was attended by large member of engineers, academicians, rd ndscientists and students. The 33 Annual Lecture was followed by 42 Annual General Meeting at the same venue.
