Description: 
The Institute is engaged primarily in structures work related to 
improving resistance to seismic forces. Academically, students are trained 
at both the undergraduate and graduate level in civil engineering, with 
emphasis on hydraulics. Both the Candidate's and Doctorate’s Degrees are 
given. The technical staff has published Trudy in areas such as structural 
mechanics and analysis, materials technology, hydraulics, and subject matter 
related to seismology.

Description: 
This institute, located near Moscow, also has a branch in Leningrad. 
Prior to 1956, the Institute was known as the Scientific-Research Institute 
of Earth Magnetism (IZMIR). It is a leading institute in the fields of 
magnetism and ionospheric work. Spherics, radio astronomy, auroras, cosmic 
rays, and solar physics are also studied here. The nonmagnetic ship, Zarya, 
belongs to this institute. The Institute publishes a Trudy.
