About BMTPC

Indo-Norwegian
The Building Materials & Technology Promotion Council (BMTPC) is an autonomous organization under the aegis
of the Ministry of Housing & Urban Poverty Alleviation, Govt. of India. BMTPC has been playing a proactive role in
the area of disaster mitigation and management. Noteworthy contributions made by BMTPC are the publication of
the Vulnerability Atlas of India and the Landslide Hazard Zonation Atlas of India as well as the conduct of retrofitting
of various life-line structures such as schools, hospitals etc. BMTPC has always been in the forefront in educating
and creating mass awareness amongst common men and publishing guidelines, brochures, pamphlets etc. for
improving Earthquake and Cyclone/Wind Resistant Housing. These documents have served as important tools

is also involved in the construction of cost-effective disaster resistant model houses and retrofitting of existing
buildings besides helping State/UT Govts. in modifications of their Building Byelaws.

About DEPARTMENT OF EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING

Nonlinear Analysis and
The Department of Earthquake Engineering at IIT Roorkee was established in 1960 as School of Research and
Training in Earthquake Engineering. The Department has provided yeomen service in teaching, research, training
Performance Based
Design of Multistorey
and rendered advice in the field of Earthquake Engineering for the last 50 years. The Department has four main
sections: (i) Seismic Instrumentation, (ii) Engineering Seismology and Seismotectonics, (iii) Soil Dynamics, and
(iv) Structural Dynamics. It offers three M.Tech. programmes in Earthquake Engineering with specialization in

Buildings
Structural Dynamics, Soil Dynamics, and Seismic Vulnerability and Risk. It also offers Ph.D. programmes in all
disciplines of earthquake engineering. The Department has played a crucial role in the development of seismic
design codes in India, and has intensive interaction with the industry.

About NORSAR
NORSAR is an independent research foundation specialized in seismological research and engineering services December 3 - 5, 2015
relevant for the society. During the last decade NORSAR has become increasingly engaged in seismic risk and
(Non-Residential)
vulnerability research and development aimed at societal units like cities and municipalities. By combining civil
engineering and earth scientist competence, NORSAR has developed a unique environment for such earthquake
hazard, vulnerability and risk evaluations. Over the past years these efforts included seismic hazard and risk at
projects in many earthquake exposed countries, including Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Pakistan, India,
or entire Central Asia. Since 2010, NORSAR in collaboration with Standard Norway (the national standardization Casuarina Hall
institution of Norway) conduct training courses on the application of Eurocode 8 for the Norwegian consultancy India Habitat Centre

Background
During strong ground shaking
caused by earthquakes struc-
tures and foundations respond
in a nonlinear way. Currently, the
design practice all over the world
is generally based on linear re-
sponse analysis, indirectly taking
into account the effect of inelastic
energy dissipation through the use
of a Response Reduction Factor.
Lately, a paradigm shift could be
observed from the conventional
prescriptive force-based design
to Performance Based Design.
The estimation of nonlinear seis-
mic response of structures is an
integral part of Performance Based
Design.
A number of techniques and soft-
ware tools for nonlinear seismic
response evaluation of structures
have evolved in the past few
decades. The objective of the
proposed training programme is
to introduce practicing structural
engineers, research students and
faculty members working in the
field of structural and geotechnical
engineering to the state-of-the-art
in nonlinear seismic response
evaluation of structures and foun-
dations, including the essential
components of soil-structure inter-
action. Nonlinear analysis will
be used for performance based
design of multi-storey buildings,
using ASCE 41 and other relevant
codes and provisions.
