Donors to NICEE Details: 1. Workshop for Under Graduate
Architecture Students in Third Year The workshop for
Architecture students is scheduled to be held at IIT Kanpur during June
11-15, 2024. The studio sessions will be held during these dates. The
lectures will be conducted on two weekends prior to these dates. The schedule
for the same will be announced closer to the dates. The aim of this workshop
is to draw the attention of Architecture students towards keeping the
earthquake engineering aspects in view while designing their structures. For
details about previous workshops please visit http://www.nicee.org/Architecture_Workshop/
. For further details or any queries please contact: Suresh Ailawadi
at Tele - 0512 – 259 7749, Fax – 0512 – 259 7794 or Email:
asuresh@iitk.ac.in. 2. Inter-School Quiz
Competition based on IITK-BMTPC Earthquake Tips 2023-24 The invite for Inter-School Quiz for 2023-24 has
been sent to all schools. You may like to respond to the same. 3. Literature Review Workshop for Post
Graduate Students The Annual Workshop
for post graduate students pursuing their masters or doctorate degree with
thesis in earthquake engineering is scheduled to be held during May 09 – 18,
2024. For further details please visit the website. 4. Open House of NICEE The open house is held with the aim to enable
postgraduate students to conduct literature survey for their thesis related
to earthquake engineering issues and interact with the faculty and
professionals. The Open House also welcomes professional engineers and
architects to help them familiarize themselves with enormous literature available
at NICEE on design and construction of safe habitat. The details of the Open
House will be promulgated shortly. For further details or any queries please contact : Suresh Ailawadi at Tele - 0512 – 259 7749, Fax –
0512 – 259 7794 or E-mail: asuresh@iitk.ac.in 5. Intimation Regarding Change of Postal Address/ email id It gives me great pleasure to inform you that we
currently have more than 15,400 subscribers on NICEE list. At times we face
problem of our mails being blocked by the outside servers with the
presumption that we are spamming. We would therefore like to request you to please do
inform us as and when you switch over from one email id
to another. We will stop sending mails to your old email id and will
subscribe your current email id to nicee-list so
that you continue to receive communication from NICEE. Similarly, it is our earnest request that please do
let us know whenever you want us to change your postal address and we will
update our records. You may please inform us by sending a mail to
nicee@iitk.ac.in. 6. RESIST Software Available for Individual Users RESIST Software is now available for individual
users. A copy of the same can be requested from NICEE on payment of Rs. 2,000/-.
This version of RESIST is customized to Indian codes and construction
conditions. However, a more recent update is available with
greatly enhanced graphical features but it is based upon New Zealand codes
and practices. It may be downloaded free of charge from the New Zealand
Society of Earthquake Engineering website at
https://www.nzsee.org.nz/library/other-publications/resist/ . For further details regarding the earlier version
please visit http://www.nicee.org/npeee/showpage.php?id=149 and for any
queries please contact: Suresh Ailawadi at Tele - 0512 – 259 7749, Fax – 0512

Structural/Earthquake Engineering Prof. Dipti Ranjan Sahoo, Department of Civil
Engineering, IIT Delhi, has won the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar (SSB) Prize for
Science and Technology 2022 in Engineering Sciences. Prof. Sahoo graduated
from IIT Kanpur with an MTech in 2003 and a PhD in 2008. His doctoral thesis
on developing an aluminium shear-yielding damper for enhanced earthquake
resistance of structures was supervised by Prof. Durgesh C Rai. At IIT Delhi,
Prof. Sahoo continued to work on shear-yielding dampers and other structural
fuses for seismic design and mitigation of seismic effects on buildings and
bridges which won him the prestigious Science and Technology award. The Prize bears the name of the founder Director of the
Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) India, the late Dr
(Sir) Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar. The purpose of the award is to recognize
outstanding Indian work in science and technology. The Prize is given to a
person who, in the opinion of CSIR, has made conspicuously important and
outstanding contributions to human knowledge and progress – fundamental and
applied – in the particular field of endeavour, which is his/her
specialization. Prof. Sahoo's SSB Prize is also noteworthy because
Prof. Jai Krishna of the University of Roorkee (regarded as Father of
Earthquake Engineering in India) was the last structural/earthquake engineer
to receive this award in 1966! NICEE
congratulates Prof Sahoo on this recognition which also benefitted from his
contributions to its various activities as a former IIT Kanpur postgraduate
student and later as IIT Delhi faculty member. 8. 18th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering (WCEE2024), June
