State-of-the-Art Earthquake Engineering Research Lab The Centre for Earthquake Engineering Research (CEER) Lab at IIT Patna
was inaugurated on 25th September 2025 by Shri Harivansh,
Hon’ble Deputy Chairman, Rajya Sabha, in the presence of Prof. T. N. Singh,
Director, IIT Patna, along with dignitaries from the Government of Bihar and
the Institute. The facility has been established with the generous support of
Shri Harivansh under the Members of Parliament
Local Area Development (MPLAD) Scheme. The CEER Lab is equipped with a strong reaction wall and floor,
including a reconfigurable section, the first of its kind in the region,
enabling large-scale testing of specimens up to 8 metres tall, including
multi-storey frames under vertical and lateral loads. This landmark facility
will address both regional and national needs by advancing earthquake
research, informing seismic codes, and supporting disaster-resilient
infrastructure development. For more information, please contact Dr. Vaibhav
Singhal (email: singhal@iitp.ac.in), In-charge of the facility.
