In earthquake engineering, a major thrust of the papers is on earthquake resistant design of structures. In certain cases, extensive parametric study is conducted to evaluate the effects of parameters that predominantly influence the response. Response parameters that describe the dynamic behaviour of structures. The response analysis provides the values of v The structures include bridges, buildings, chimneys, offshore platforms, specialty structures, foundation structures and other types of civil amenity structures.
The excitations to the structures constitute a number of important dynamic loadings such as earthquakes, wind, wave, blast and moving loads. In this context, the importance of the materials presented in this volume lies in exploring the response analysis of a variety of both models and prototypes of real-life structures. Therefore, solution of application problems forms the core of majority of papers in the conference volume. The trend of recent researches has numerical orientation because of the availability of standard software. All these together make SEC 2014 an eventful congregation of researchers in the area of Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering. Further, the conference proceedings being published by an international publishing house will reach international readers. The conference proceedings will be a good reference material for them. Certainly, the conference venue will provide them an excellent platform to meet and exchange ideas on various topics of recent interest.
It is heartening to see that a large number of researchers are working in the area of Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering. Like previous Structural Engineering Conventions, SEC 2014 has drawn the interest of all researchers in different academic institutes in India. The papers have been peer-reviewed for acceptance. The papers cover a wide range of topics, namely structural control, offshore dynamics, dynamic soil-structure interaction, seismic hazard analysis, retrofitting of structures for lateral loads, dynamic behaviour of structures and the like. As a result, a strict criterion has been adopted to review the papers for the inclusion in the conference proceeding to be published by Springer. Therefore, it is natural that the number of papers received in this area is large for the Structural Engineering Convention (SEC 2014).
The number of committees formed, the conferences organised and the special courses offered on the subject is also large. This is evident from the size of publications taking place in different themes of the subject in recent years. is part of Springer Science+Business Media (ForewordĮarthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics is a major subject of teaching and research in the present decade.
