1. BACKGROUND South Asia is highly vulnerable to earthquakes due to presence of active seismic source regions of the world. Out of eight SAARC countries, six are located in this active belt (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Pakistan). Many of the important and densely populated cities of these countries including the capital cities of Kabul, Dhaka, Thimphu, Delhi, Kathmandu, and Islamabad are located in moderate to severe seismic hazard zones. Liquefaction and seismically induced landslides further add to the seismic hazard of the region. Many of the prevalent construction practices and building typology result in dwelling units that are extremely vulnerable to earthquake hazards. SAARC countries have experienced severe losses in the past, in terms of human casualty and property; most recent are the Bhuj earthquake of 26th January, 2001; Sumatra Earthquake of 26th December, 2004 leading to Tsunami and Kashmir

earthquake of 8th October, 2005. Most of the casualties were due to collapse of poorly constructed buildings in the seismically vulnerable regions. The SAARC region has a rich heritage of historical architecture and many vernacular construction forms. These constructions lack earthquake resistance and pose a danger of loss of valuable architectural heritage, in the event of a major earthquake.

It has been often seen that most of the casualties during earthquakes are due topoor quality of construction of the structures. The devastation during past earthquakes has clearly brought out the need to have comprehensive strategy for earthquake mitigation which should include proper assessment of seismic hazard and planning, design and construction of earthquake resistant buildings through strict compliance of code provisions. As of today, it is unfortunate that in spite of having all the scientific know-how in the field of earthquake engineering and the code provisions for construction in seismic areas, we continue to find that our engineers and builders are not following these either due to ignorance or fear of added cost. The engineers and architects have the most important role in designing and constructing earthquake resistant buildings and infrastructure. Thus, there is urgent need for training programmes on latest techniques for earthquake resistant structures. Therefore, it is proposed to organize a two week short term training program during June 18-29, 2012, at Continuing Education center, IIT Roorkee to train Architects, and Engineers from SAARC countries to acquaint them about the current practices of earthquake resistant design and relevant code provisions, etc. This will also provide an opportunity to the participants to share experiences on this important issue.

9. PROCEEDINGS OF THE TRAINING PROGRAMME

Day 1 (18.06.2011) The SAARC Training Programme was inaugurated by Padmashree Dr. A.S. Arya, Former National Seismic Advisor, Government of India. In his inaugural address, Dr. Arya highlighted the technical weakness in construction of earthquake resistant structures in South Asian Countries. He also said that common people did not use earthquake resistant technology during the construction of their buildings. Dr. D. K. Paul, Deputy Director, IIT Roorkee welcomed the participants and apprised them about the glorious history of Earthquake Engineering at the institute. He said the natural disasters have no boundaries so that it is necessary that all SAARC Countries have created their building codes. Dr. O.P. Mishra, Head, Geological Disasters Division, SDMC mentioned that all SAARC Countries have the risk of earthquakes except Maldives & Sri Lanka, but the earthquake generated tsunamis can widely affect both these countries. Dr. M. L. Sharma, Head, Department of Earthquake Engineering highlighted that history and genesis of Department of Earthquake Engineering. Dr. Ajay Gairola, Head, Centre of Excellence in Disaster Mitigation & Management, IIT-Roorkee elaborated on the history and genesis of SDMC, its vision and missions, various training programmes conducted and importance and application of trainings being organized by SDMC. Dr. Yogendra Singh, Training Coordinator proposed the vote of thanks.

The last day of the training included course evaluation and panel discussion. This was followed by the valedictory function in which Professor Pradipta Banerji, Director, IIT-Roorkee was the Chief Guest. Professor Banerji distributed the certificates to the participants. In his address he mentioned that earthquakes cannot kill people, but unstructured buildings can. He stressed upon the need to arrive at development and implementation of common methodologies of earthquake resistant structures and practices in South Asia. He also reminded the audience of our duty to create awareness among the common people about how to make earthquake resistant structures. Dr. D.K. Paul, Professor, Department of Earthquake Engineering and coordinator of the course presented the course report. Several participants shared their learning experiences of the training and provided with constructive suggestions for improvement of the training course in the future. Dr. O.P. Mishra, Head, Geological disasters Division SDMC while congratulating the trainees, mentioned that this course was being run for the fourth successive year at IIT Roorkee. The valedictory session ended with vote of thanks by Dr. Y. Singh.
