Professor Meher Prasad has over 25 years of research experience in the area of structural
dynamics and earthquake engineering. His PhD work was in the area of dynamic soil-
structure interaction. His recent work is related to computational modelling of the reinforced
concrete buildings subjected to earthquakes. Specifically the work is concentrated in
preparing seismic evaluation methodologies and in obtaining required computational tools to
identify all the possible failure mechanisms of the available Indian building stock considering
the prevailing construction practice. His research group is currently working on developing
fragility curves for the building typology available in India. His other research areas include:
Glass fibre reinforced gypsum wall panel building systems, bridge health monitoring,
structural reliability and computational mechanics. He also worked on vulnerability models
for buildings in the cyclone prone areas.
