Description
This course provides the basic concept for soil mechanics and the soil investigation test on site as the borehole, standard penetration and cone penetration test. The most laboratory test will be illustrated through a video with a technical practice about the solution of the soil with problems. The data that will obtain from the geotechnical investigation, how we can evaluate it and define the data that we need.
The objective of this course is to provide the attendees all the required information anbout soil mechnicas and soil investigationin the laboratory and the filed. The types of soil and its behaviour under the foundation will be illustrated in this course. The traget to provide rule of thumb and practical way to defne scope of work and to read the soil report and how to monotering the soil tests in laboratory and filed.
The required number of sample and the select soil boring depth will be illustrated in this course; all the tests will be illustrated such as l cone penetration test (CPT)or standard penetration test (SPT) , van test and others. in the laborator will presnts the attemburg test, triaxial test and odemoter test for settlement calculation.
The attendees will receive a sheet to assist in define the required test as per the international standard as a scope of work template for any project. Te objective is to understand the soil behaviour and how can protect your structure from any problem.
The attendees will receive after completing the coures an ebook.

Mohamed A. El-Reedy's background is in structural engineering. His main area of research is the reliability of concrete and steel structures. He has provided consulting to different engineering companies and oil and gas industries in Egypt and to international companies such as the International Egyptian Oil Company (IEOC) and British Petroleum (BP). Moreover, he provides different concrete and steel structure design packages for residential buildings, warehouses, and telecommunication towers and electrical projects with WorleyParsons Egypt. He has participated in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) projects with international engineering firms.Currently, Dr. El-Reedy is responsible for reliability, inspection, and maintenance strategy for onshore concrete structures and offshore steel structure platforms. He has performed these tasks for hundreds of structures in the Gulf of Suez in the Red Sea.
Dr. El-Reedy has consulted with and trained executives at many organizations, including the Arabian American Oil Company (ARAMCO), bp, Apachi, Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA), the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, and King Saudi's Interior ministry, Qatar Telecom, the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation, Saudi Arabia Basic Industries Corporation, the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, and Qatar Petrochemical Company (QAPCO). He has taught technical courses about repair and maintenance for reinforced concrete structures and the advanced materials in concrete industry worldwide, especially in the Middle East.
Dr. El-Reedy has written numerous publications and has presented many papers at local and international conferences sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Concrete Institute, the American Society for Testing and Materials, and the American Petroleum Institute. He has published many research papers in international technical journals and has authored many books published worldwide about offshore structures, advanced materials in concrete construction and corrosion of reinforced concrete structure, Construction management and design of industrial concrete and steel structures and Project management for industrial projects. He received his bachelor's degree from Cairo University in 1990, his master's degree in 1995, and his Ph.D from Cairo University in 2000.
