O autorze

Mohamed A. EI-Reedy's background is in structural engineering. His main area of research is the reliability of concrete and steel structures. He has provided consultation to different oil and gas industries, including 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. He has participated in Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) and Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) projects with international engineering firms. Currently, Dr. EI-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. EI-Reedy has consulted with and trained executives at many organizations, has taught technical courses about repair and maintenance for reinforced concrete structures and steel structures worldwide, especially in the Middle East. He has written for numerous publications and presented many papers at local and international conferences sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Concrete Institute, the American Society for Testing and Materials, and the American Petroleum Institute.
