  1. FORUM FOR THE PROMOTION OF SOIL DYNAMICS IN INDIA H.R.WASON President, Indian Society of Earthquake Technology 21 December, 2013 A presentation about INDIAN SOCIETY OF EARTHQUAKE TECHNOLOGY

  2. PREAMBLE The Indian Society of Earthquake Technology (ISET) came into being to provide a proper forum to scientists and engineers drawn from amongst Civil Engineers, Electro-Mechanical Engineers, Engineering Seismologists, and Engineering Geologists who had a common interest related to earthquake engineering. The Indian Society of Earthquake Technology was established on 12th November, 1962, during the second symposium on Earthquake Engineering held at University of Roorkee with Late Prof. Jai Krishna as the founding President. The Headquarters of the Society was decided to be at Roorkee and the Society was registered in December 1964 under Society's Registration Act 1961.

  3. NATIONAL ROLE The Executive Committee of ISET also acts as the ‘Indian National Committee on Earthquake Engineering’ and has contributed to the policy making by way of its representation on various committees of Planning Commission, DST, UGC, INSA, AICTE, BIS, etc. The Society has contributed in formulation of various Indian Standard Codes of Practice related to earthquake engineering. The President of ISET is represented on the relevant committees responsible for drafting these codes.

  9. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE SOCIETY • The aims and objectives of ISET are mainly directed towards promoting research, development and awareness work in the field of Earthquake Technology as follows and further as detailed in its Bye Laws: • To provide necessary forum for scientists and engineers of various specialization to come together and exchange ideas on the problems of Earthquake Technology. • To disseminate knowledge in the field of Earthquake Technology dealing -with scientific and engineering aspects. • To honour pioneering and meritorious contributions in- the field of Earthquake Technology.

  10. MEMBERSHIP Honorary Fellows - 07 Life Fellows - 46 Life Members - 1565 (55 members from abroad) Annual Members - 30 Institution Members - 55 Total - 1703 Growth of ISET Life Membership

  11. ISET LOCAL CHAPTERS The ISET activities are spread all over the country through ISET Local Chapters. The First Chapter (Roorkee Chapter) was established in 1983 with Prof. Shamsher Prakash (the then Director, CBRI) as the Chairman and Dr. H.R.Wason as the Secretary. Soon after its formation, it organized an International Symposium on “Creation of awareness about earthquake hazards and mitigation of seismic risks” in November 1984. The Society has currently 11 Local Chapters, namely at Amravati, Bangaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Guwahati, Jorhat, Kolkata, Mumbai, Nagpur, Pune and Roorkee. These Chapters organize activities towards creation of earthquake awareness among general public and earthquake engineering education in furtherance of the aims and objectives of the parent body. The affairs of Chapters are managed by a Managing Committee.

  12. ISET JOURNAL An important activity of the ISET since 1964 has been bringing out a periodical entitled “ Bulletin of the Indian Society of Earthquake Technology” containing technical papers in the areas of Structural Dynamics, Soil Dynamics, Seismology and other allied fields. This Bulletin continued as a half-yearly publication till 1966 and started a quarterly publication from 1967. The name of the Bulletin was subsequently changed to “ISET JOURNAL OF EARTHQUAKE TECHNOLOGY” from March, 1998. So far 506 research papers have been published up to the year 2009. In addition, the Society also publishes a quarterly News Letter.

  13. ISET ANNUAL LECTURES ISET holds an Annual Lecture along with Annual General Meeting every year which is delivered by an eminent Engineer/Scientist in the field of Earthquake Technology. This lecture is also printed in ISET Journal. Thirty three (33) Annual Lectures have been delivered so far since 1979.
