department of Civil Engineering at Chittagong University of Technology (CUET). The main aim and goal of
the center is to promote and provide facilities for advanced studies and research at Undergraduate and
Postgraduate levels in the field of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology and also to
conduct training on advanced development in earthquake engineering and to create awareness activities
among engineers, architects, planners, policy makers and public on earthquake resistive design &
construction in collaboration with local and foreign institutions. A joint collaboration agreement was
signed in 1999 between the department of Civil Engineering. CUET and Institute of Earthquake Engineering
& Engineering Seismology(IZIIS) of University St. Cyril and Methodius, Skopje, which is situated in
