Bio
Dr. Rami Mahmoud Bakr is an accomplished Assistant Professor of Geotechnical Engineering at Delta University for Science and Technology in Egypt. He earned his Ph.D. in Structural Engineering from Mansoura University, a Master's in Civil Engineering from Ain Shams University, and a Bachelor's in Civil Engineering from Mansoura University. His research expertise spans geotechnical engineering, earthquake effects on soils and foundations, land reclamation, coastal and offshore geotechnics, and underground construction. Dr. Bakr has authored several influential papers, including works on static load testing of piles in sandy soil underlain by clay, seismic response of buildings on layered soil, and the impact of unsupported excavation on active zones in clay. He serves as a dedicated reviewer for the Global Journal of Research in Engineering (GJRE) and is an active member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). With over 11 publications and 19 citations, his contributions continue to shape modern geotechnical practice.

New Method for Static Load Test for Pile Rests in Sandy Soil Underlain by Clay
There are many cases the use of shallow foundations doesn't fit for bearing capacity considerations. In some of these cases, there are soil layers with high strength properties that exist at shallow depths underlain by soil layers with less strength, and the continuous, suitable layer located at great depth. In these cases, it would be useful to use short piles rests on the functional shallower soil layers as bearing layer. These layers are either stiff clay layers with high shear strength or sand layers with high friction resistance or a mixture of both. Due to the presence of weak soils under the bearing layer, this research focuses on the behavior of pile that rests in sand underlain by clay soil. Two sites selected for this study, the first is located in Mansoura city while the other is in Gamasa, and both sites located in the Nile Delta Region of Egypt.
