S. K. Ghosh, PhD, is known internationally for his work in earthquake engineering. He has influenced seismic design provisions in the United States for many years by serving on or chairing numerous committees and advisory panels. He specializes in the analysis and design, including wind and earthquake resistant design, of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. Dr. Ghosh is active on many national technical committees and is a fellow of ACI and PCI. He is a member of ACI Committee 318, Standard Building Code, the Masonry Standards Joint Committee, and the ASCE 7 Standard Committee (Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures). He just completed a term as a member of the Board of Direction of ACI and a term as a member of the Board of Direction of EERI (Earthquake Engineering Research Institute). In addition to authoring many publications in the area of structural design, he has investigated and reported on structural performance in most recent earthquakes.
