Structural Design Engineer – Bridges, Tunnels and Special Structures.
AECOM Middle East – Abu Dhabi
AECOM | Nov 2014 to Present
 Worked in designing post tensioned box girder bridges for EXPO 2020 in
Dubai, UAE. Designed the superstructure and substructure of more than 25
prestressed post tensioned concrete bridges. The number of spans varied
from two to twelve spans. The bridges had different cross sections, depth,
width, cantilevers, curvature, construction stages and variations depending
on the bridge functionality. Most of the bridges I have designed were box
girder bridges. I have also designed multiple I-girder pre-tensioned bridges.
The structural analysis was done using Midas Civil software in accordance to
AASHTO, and most of the modeling was done using spine models.
Nonetheless, I have modeled different bridges using the grillage modeling
approach mentioned on EC. Hambly Bridge Deck Behavior.
 Designed the bridge bearings and determined the load capacities, rotations,
and movements required for bearings. In addition, I have grouped the bridge
bearings and tabulated the information on the drawings in accordance with
AASHTO.
 Designed the bridge transverse cross section depending on the cross section
width, number of cells, cantilever length, pedestrian walkways and
embedded utilities.
 Designed bridge diaphragms using the flexural member method and using
the strut and tie approach.
 Assisted Senior Engineers in determining the required number of spans,
bridge type, and construction stages depending on location, existing utilities,
and space availability.
 Designed miscellaneous elements such as bearings and Expansion
movement joints.
 Coordinated with other utility teams such as potable water, high
voltage, low voltage, sewer lines, highway, and geotechnical to assure a
clash free and safe design.
 Done Quantity take off and BOQ preparation for tender document release.
 Worked in verification of steel pedestrian bridge with steel columns and
reinforced concrete pile cap and piles. All the checks were verified based on
the on AASHTO 2014 code requirements.

JOB OBJECTIVE
Dedicated civil structural engineer consistently delivers projects on time
efficiently. Wanting to observe an opportunity to gain and develop my skills in
areas of design, construction, or management in an organization where I can
expand my knowledge and experience. Currently I’m involved in designing
several structures including bridges, tunnels and sewerage network structures
and special structures.

JOB OBJECTIVE
 Checked and verified piles, piers and pile caps of an Al Bustan bridges in
accordance to AASHTO 2007. I have also checked the pile length adequacy
according to available geotechnical information. The bridges had pre-
tensioned and post tensioned elements requiring specific construction
stages.
 Checked and verified several substructure components including
abutments, piers, pile caps, piles, approach slabs and protection buried
slabs. The pile caps had several geometries and different number of piles.
The piles had different diameters and different cutoff levels and depths.
 Assisted in preparing design calculation for construction modifications and
responded to RFI’s coming from site in a timely manner.

PERSONAL DETAILS
 Delivered the preliminary and detailed design packages of the vertical
precast shafts and underground cast in-situ chambers used for gravity
sewerage project in compliance to Euro code. The precast shafts had an
internal diameter of 2 and 3 meters, and the chambers had a depth ranging
from 30 to 60 m and they had different shapes and hydraulic purposes that
needed special structural detailing. CIRIA guide was used to check the
elements against the effects of early thermal cracking. In addition, I
Coordinated with other AECOM offices including water, tunneling, and
geotechnical teams located in UK, Qatar and UAE to insure all the
information are shared accurately and on time.
 I designed two sewage pumping stations that included deep. The work done
involved providing safe economical design that meets the requirements of
ACI318. The chambers were designed considering earth lateral loads,
surcharge, wind, operational loads, and allowable bearing pressure. The
project involved high level of coordination with other mechanical,
electrical, geotechnical and architectural teams.

WORK EXPERIENCE (Bridges)
WORK EXPERIENCE (Tunnels, Culverts and Protection slabs)
 Verified the design of an underpass and adjacent retaining walls. The
underpass and retaining walls verification included checking the service and
ultimate capacities. In addition, sliding, overturning, and bearing capacity
were carried over to make sure verified structures meet all the requirements
of the client and AASHTO 2014 code requirements.
 Delivered the detailed design package of various tunnels and culverts in
compliance to AASHTO LRFD code. The cast in situ bottom slab, top slap,
internal columns/walls and external walls with different dimensions were
checked against the effects of early thermal cracking, serviceability check,
flexural and shear design. I coordinated with geotechnical, highway,
electrical and mechanical teams located in the same office to insure all the
required information are obtained to satisfy the design and client’s
requirements.
 Worked in the preliminary and detailed design of multiple protection slabs
with different spans to protect existing or future utilities from any additional
loads in future.
