Seismic Design of Structures & Connections: Indian and Global standards perspectives

Objective

The objective of this webinar is to strengthen understanding of seismic design principles for structures and the key concepts behind earthquake‑resistant design. It will cover important provisions from leading design guidelines, including IS 1893, IS 13920, IS 13935 and explain how these influence seismic design requirements.

The session will also address the seismic design demand on connections; referencing IS 1946 and IS 1893 (Part 1) and introduce global perspectives on the design of structures and their connections. Since connections both structural and non‑structural play a critical role in overall performance during earthquakes, especially in high‑seismic zones, proper design is essential.

This webinar aims to bring together designers, professionals, and practicing engineers on a common platform to discuss the latest updates in IS 1893, along with their implications on connection design under IS 1946, supported by international best practices.

Description - About the Webinar

This webinar will focus on seismic design and safety of structures and connections, drawing insights from both IS 1893 and IS 1946. The session will also highlight global perspectives on seismic design to support the development of earthquake-resilient systems.
