Structure Lab @IITGN
The Structure Lab at IIT Gandhinagar is a growing state-of-the art facility centre to cater a gamut of activities relating to research, projects, classwork and consultancy. The testing encompasses all the basic material, cube and beam/column element testing facilities. Many ongoing research and consultancy projects are being executed here with full support of the laboratory and the institute. . A full-scale real-fire façade testing facility consisting of a G+2 storey steel-frame building is also constructed to study the fire performance of façade systems.

Structural Seismic Engineering Group
Structural Seismic Engineering Group (SSEG) explores several possible aspects contributing to the seismic resilience of civil engineering structures. Ground motion characterization for seismic design and performance assessment is one of the thrust areas. This includes various aspects including the characterization of multi-component seismic excitation, spatial variability of ground motion, critical orientation, probabilistic seismic hazard assessment, choice of ground motion intensity measures, ground motion prediction equations, selection and scaling of ground motion for performance based earthquake engineering etc. Understanding the behavior of irregular buildings involving asymmetry, setbacks, in-plane floor flexibility etc. and the long span bridges subjected to multi-component spatially varying ground motions is one of the science questions that we have been aiming to address.
