Yasser Abdelhamid, PhD, P.E., MBA- Director of Engineering- Bryant Consultants 

Topic: Application of Numerical Techniques to Evaluate Retaining Walls and Slope Failures in North Texas

Dr. Abdelhamid performs work on a wide range of geotechnical and geophysical forensic projects, from single family homes to whole subdivisions and commercial buildings, stability analysis for various earth slopes and retaining and sheet pile walls, as well as forensic analysis of a wide range of pavement projects, including highways.

Among Dr. Abdelhamid’s specialties are the evaluation of soil-structure interaction, including pavements, foundation analysis and design, retaining wall design and analysis, slope stability, and soil dynamics.

His expertise encompasses expansive soil behavior, geotechnical engineering and design, numerical modeling of soil-structure interaction and geo-structural elements, construction materials evaluation and analysis, and geotechnical laboratory testing.

Dr. Abdelhamid has authored and co-authored numerous publications. His research includes a comprehensive parametric study on laterally loaded single piles using a finite element package ANSYS as well as LPILE and a transient fully-coupled numerical pore-scale model utilized to study soil-fluid interaction problems such as surface erosion, fine particles migration, and liquefaction.

Dr. Abdelhamid also works in academia as an adjunct professor teaching Soil Mechanics and Foundation courses for undergraduate and graduate students.
