Sponsored Research

The sponsored research program in Earthquake Engineering at IIT Kanpur has a very strong focus on problems relevant to Indian conditions. A large number of sponsored research projects are completed and ongoing in the area of earthquake engineering. These projects are sponsored by various national agencies (like MHRD, DST, AERB, AICTE, CSIR, MOST, GSDMA and RDSO) in addition to private organisations. These projects include:
