IAStructE student’s chapter of Earthquake Engineering Research Centre, IIIT Hyderabad organized an online Guest Lecture on “Seismic Response Estimation of Structures” on 29th August 2022. Prof. Yogendra Singh, Dept. of Earthquake Engineering, IIT Roorkee was the keynote speaker for the event. He enlightened the audience about the characteristics of different types of seismic loading, salient characteristics of earthquake motion and different methods of linear and non-linear analysis of structures for estimating seismic responses. He also elaborated on the selection and spectral matching of earthquake ground motions and time history analysis.

It was attended by over 150 participants of various backgrounds including structural engineers, research scholars, M. Tech. students, and faculties. The lecture was concluded with a fruitful discussion between the participants and Prof. Singh. Finally, a vote of thanks has been proposed by Dr. P.
