This conference will bring together the advancement in the field of civil and earthquake engineering, carried out both at the national and international levels. It will give a new dimension based on the latest research to address the indigenous problems and finally incorporating the outcomes in the national building codes and engineering practices. The event will open windows for future research and international collaboration.
The day of the conference, October 8, has the significance that a devastating earthquake event with epicenter in Kashmir occurred in 2005 that resulted in huge loss of lives and infrastructure. This event changed the landscape of engineering design of building and infrastructures and initiated research in the field of earthquake engineering and allied disciplines in Pakistan.
