前言2001年1月26日的地震发生在一个已知的地震区。地震工程学的发展在印度起步较早。然而，约有13,800人死于建筑物倒塌；仅在距离震中200公里的艾哈迈达巴德就有约130座多层建筑倒塌。因此，重要的是回顾印度地震工程的历史发展、印度地震规范的现状、规范遵守的状况以及地震工程的专业和学术环境。这些不仅可以为古吉拉特邦和印度其他地区，也可以为许多其他发展中国家提供重要的经验教训。
INTRODUCTION The earthquake of January 26, 2001 occurred in a known seismic region. The development of earthquake engineering started rather early in India. And yet, about 13,800 persons died due to building collapses; about 130 multistory buildings collapsed in Ahmedabad alone, at a distance of 200 km from the epicenter. It is therefore important to review the historical developments of earthquake engineering in India, the status of Indian seismic codes, status of code compliance, and professional and academic environment for seismic engineering. These could provide important lessons not just for Gujarat and for rest of India, but also for many other developing countries.
