International Conference on
SEISMIC RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE
ICSRI-2026
13-15 March, 2026
Department of Civil Engineering
IIT(BHU) Varanasi, India
About The Event
The International Conference on Seismic Resilient Infrastructure (ICSRI-2026) brings together global experts, researchers, and practitioners to advance knowledge in earthquake engineering and disaster resilience. The conference will cover critical themes such as dynamic soil properties, ground response, soil-structure interaction, and seismic safety of pipelines, tunnels, and underground structures. Topics include liquefaction, seismic ground improvement, lessons from recent earthquakes, vulnerability and risk assessment, and disaster mitigation strategies. Emerging areas like machine learning applications in seismic resilience, socio-economic impacts, and public preparedness will also be highlighted. ICSRI-2026 aims to foster collaboration for safer, sustainable infrastructure in seismic-prone regions.
