He explained that if a doctor makes a mistake, one patient may die but a civil engineer's error could lead to multiple deaths and injuries that remain as a reminder. Civil engineers must focus on building strength and longevity to withstand natural disasters and man-made incidents. New sensor technologies allow assessing structures for threats even decades later. Civil engineers face ensuring strength, durability and disaster-resilience in construction.

    Mysore/Mysuru: Dr. N. Suresh, Director of Fire Safety Research Foundation,


    Mysuru, has said that civil engineers hold more responsibility in the society than
    doctors.

    Dr. Suresh, who is also a Civil Engineer and former Principal of National Institute
    of Engineering (NIE), Mysuru, spoke during a Technical Seminar on the topic
    ‘Engineering a Resilient Future: Building Stronger, Smarter, Safer’, organised as
    part of 56th Engineers’ Day celebration on account of Sir  M. Visvesvaraya’s birth
    anniversary, by The Institution of Engineers (IE-India), Mysore Local Centre, at its
    premises on JLB road in the city on Thursday.

    Dr. Suresh said “If a doctor errs in his job, only a patient dies, with his or her
    mistake buried under the ground, but if a civil engineer commits any blunder, the
    possibilities of death and injuries are more and the mistake will remain as a grim
    reminder of the folly. Earlier, while constructing a building, more priority was
    given for strengthening the structure. Now, apart from the strength, more focus is
    on its longevity too. The people also desire to own a building, which can withstand
    any natural calamity and also man-made disasters.”

    Nowadays, sensor is being used in construction industry, using the technology of ▾


    which we can assess the strength and threat to the building, even after 20 to 30
    years. Hence, the features like strength, durability and their capacity to withstand
    any disasters, have come to forefront in the construction industry, said Dr. Suresh.

    Hundreds of disasters damage the buildings, with fire mishaps, earthquake,


    tsunami, explosion of volcano and flood being significant among them, added Dr.
    Suresh.

    IEI Chairman B. S. Prabhakara, Convenor A.S. Satish, Co-Convenor K.B. Bhaskar


    and Honorary Secretary H.S. Suresh Babu were present.
