This book presents select proceedings of the 17^th Symposium on Earthquake Engineering organized by the Department of Earthquake Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. The topics covered in the proceedings include engineering seismology and seismotectonics, earthquake hazard assessment, seismic microzonation and urban planning, dynamic properties of soils and ground response, ground improvement techniques for seismic hazards, computational soil dynamics, dynamic soil–structure interaction, codal provisions on earthquake-resistant design, seismic evaluation and retrofitting of structures, earthquake disaster mitigation and management, and many more. This book also discusses relevant issues related to earthquakes, such as human response and socioeconomic matters, post-earthquake rehabilitation, earthquake engineering education, public awareness, participation and enforcement of building safety laws, and earthquake prediction and early warning system. Thisbook is a valuable reference for researchers and professionals working in the area of earthquake engineering.

Dr. Manish Shrikhande is Professor and Head of the Department of Earthquake Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. His current research interests are vibration monitoring and control, seismic risk and mitigation, and computational mechanics.

Dr. Pankaj Agarwal is Professor at the Department of Earthquake Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee.
