ABOUT ECG LAB
The Experimental and Computational Geodynamics (ECG) Lab, led by Dr. Ritesh Kumar, stands at the forefront of addressing intricate geotechnical and geophysical challenges. Our dedicated team specializes in mapping Geohazards, including large deformation problems, debris flows, offshore geotechnics, and soil-structure interaction. Our lab integrates experimental modelling with advanced computational simulations to explore and understand Geohazards. Our lab is not just a place of research; it is a vibrant community where collaboration and creativity thrive. We promote a healthy work environment and invite you to join us on this journey of exploration and innovation, as we work together to tackle the pressing challenges of our time.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
IIT Roorkee has signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Limited (DFCCIL) through the Department of Earthquake Engineering to jointly develop advanced solutions for railway track system challenges.

LATEST PUBLICATIONS
The Department of Earthquake Engineering at IIT Roorkee holds quarterly seminars under the PRIME Lecture Series (Promoting Research and Industry Excellence Lecture Series) series. The seminars aim to stimulate conversation between students, industry practitioners, and academicians and bring together top researchers from academia and industry to exchange scientific ideas and information in the interdisciplinary areas of Earthquake, Civil, Construction, and Built-environment Engineering. These seminars support the efforts made and continue to push the boundaries to promote the scientific exchange of ideas and collaboration and help foster further academic and industrial collaboration. Besides, this seminar series provides students with the opportunity to learn about a wide range of topics from diverse perspectives and complements the initiative of the Department to promote the overall development of our students.
The bimonthly lecture series, cognIGSance, is set to feature speakers from around the world deeply involved in offshore geotechnics. This initiative gains further significance with the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)'s advocacy for upcoming offshore wind farms in coastal regions of the Indian states of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. The lecture series aims to educate and create awareness about international practices in offshore geotechnics, specifically addressing geomechanics and reliability-based design issues of offshore wind farms. The series will address various aspects of offshore geotechnics, including physical and numerical modeling, site investigations, installation effects, planning, logistics, and structural health monitoring. The goal is also to enhance the understanding of advanced practices and innovations in the field, including the development of constitutive models for dynamic soil behavior, soil-structure interaction challenges, and the environmental context of offshore projects in India's coastal regions.
