Academic and Scientific Experience:
- October 2000 – March 2006: Civil Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, South Valley University, Aswan, Egypt Working as a Teaching and Research Assistant with the main duty of teaching undergraduate students in Civil Engineering subjects.
- April 2006 – June 2010: Division of Built Environment, Graduate School of Engineering, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan Investigating the problem of cracking and crack control in reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete members, which adversely affects structural performance in various ways, such as serviceability and durability requirements. This research is a joint project between Hokkaido University (Japan) and Dalian University of Technology (P.R. China). The purposes of the study were to clarify the shear cracking behavior in reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete beams with shear reinforcements based on results of experimental investigations, and also to develop a rational prediction method for shear crack spacing and opening displacement.
