Proceedings of the International Symposium on Engineering under Uncertainty: Safety Assessment and Management 2013th Edition

The conference received an overwhelming response from national as well as international scholars, experts and delegates from different parts of the world. Papers were received from authors of several countries including Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Italy, UAE, UK and USA, besides India. More than two hundred authors have shown their interest in the symposium. The Proceedings presents ninety two high quality papers which address issues of uncertainty encompassing various fields of engineering, i.e. uncertainty analysis and modelling, structural reliability, geotechnical engineering, vibration control, earthquake engineering, environmental engineering, stochastic dynamics, transportation system, system identification and damage assessment, and infrastructure engineering.

Prof. Gautam Bhattacharya is a distinguished faculty member of Department of Civil Engineering at Bengal Engineering and Science University, India. His area of research is deterministic and probabilistic analysis of reinforced and unreinforced slopes, retaining structures and foundations and geotechnical earthquake engineering. He has published several scientific articles in peer reviewed journals and also authored books with CRC Press and Springer. He has won several awards including the prestigious Sir Biren Mookerjee Prize for proficiencies in various courses at the undergraduate level.
