SGH Experts Participate in WECC2024 Earthquake Engineering Conference in Italy
Several Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH) team members recently participated in the proceedings at the 18th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering (WCEE2024) from 30 June to 5 July in Milan, Italy. The conference, hosted every four years, gathers contributions from the scientific community and seismic engineering industry to share knowledge and ideas in the field.
SGH’s Riccardo Cappa, Kevin Moore, Ali Roufegarinejad, and Ayush Singhania attended the conference, which attracted nearly 4,000 participants from around the world. Several SGH team members presented and contributed to papers in the proceedings.
