Exploratory study of new reconstruction areas and urban expansions in existing areas (under study)
This study aims to select sites suitable for technical and economic construction to establish projects on them and to make a detailed program for each project in a more accurate and more economical way by determining the type, number and depth of soil borings.

A research project on the study and evaluation of the effect of ratcheting on the resistance of rocks and their partitions, both laboratory and numerically (under study)
This study aims to determine the natural and mechanical characteristics of types of rock formations found in serious urban cities in Egypt and the impact of their resistance under the influence of escalation (ratcheting), which is the decrease in resistance to the same load when the load is repeated statically, how to identify them, assess their degree of danger, and a presentation of different ways to deal with them and the needs to be taken in this regard.

The research project on assessing the geotechnical characteristics of the formations of some types of swelling soils scattered in Egypt and how to deal with them (under study)
This study aims to determine the natural and mechanical characteristics of types of soils that are prone to swelling in the dry desert environment in Egypt, how to identify them, assess the degree of their danger, and offer different ways to deal with them and the needs to be taken in this regard.
