Dr. P Pravin Kumar Venkat Rao and his student Vashisht R wrote the following chapters in Lecture Notes in Civil Engineering at the proceedings of 17th Symposium on Earthquake Engineering (Vol. 2).
- Seismic Performance of Different Typologies of Stone Masonry Houses in India – Vashisht R; Dr. P Pravin Kumar Venkat Rao and Surana M, IIT Ropar. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-1604-7_42
Summary: The article outlines a review of structural configuration, roofing systems, foundation type and potential failure modes of different stone masonry construction typologies in India. The effect of different retrofitting techniques that exist in these construction types on their expected seismic performance is also discussed.
- Seismic Retrofitting of Existing Stone Masonry Houses: An Overview – Vashisht R; Dr. P Pravin Kumar Venkat Rao and Surana M, IIT Ropar. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-1604-7_43

- A Review of Seismic Safety Measures for the Construction of New Stone Masonry Houses – Vashisht R; Dr. P Pravin Kumar Venkat Rao and Surana M, IIT Ropar. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-1604-7_60
Summary: The article presents an overview of different failure modes of stone masonry houses, seismic safety provisions for the new construction considering the regulations for the wall, floor/roof construction and the provision of horizontal and vertical reinforcement to ensure good seismic performance against future earthquakes.
