International Workshop on Engineering Solutions for Wind & Seismic Resistance

A comprehensive six-day event focusing on “Seismic and Wind-Resistant Design of Building Structures,” followed by the “International Advance School in Wind Engineering (IAS 7),” was held from December 3–8, 2010, at the CSIR Science Centre, New Delhi, India. The event was organized by CBRI Roorkee and ISWE, with backing from Tokyo Polytechnic University’s Global Centre of Excellence, Japan, and aimed at advancing engineering practices for resilient infrastructure. During the workshop (December 3–5), experts such as Prof. Michael Kasperski (Germany) and Prof. S.K. Bhattacharyya (India) shared knowledge on structural monitoring, seismic design, and wind load assessments. They provided practical insights into designing buildings that can withstand extreme forces. The subsequent “International Advance School in Wind Engineering” (December 6–8) featured specialists like Prof. Yukio Tamura (Japan) and Prof. Chris Letchford (Australia), discussing cutting-edge research on wind loads, aerodynamic design, and impact testing for structures. The event was attended by a wide range of professionals, including researchers, engineers, and designers, who participated in discussions and collaborative activities. The event concluded with the distribution of certificates to participants, reinforcing the value of shared knowledge in advancing building resilience.
