Seminar in MS Course
I presented a seminar when I was
majoring in M.S. course, it was about heightening methods of concrete dams
and the title was 'Concrete Dams Heightening'. All problems concerning
heightening of concrete dams and benefits of heightening were discussed there.
It is illustrated with many examples of the heightening projects done in other
countries. It is presented in Persian language and is registered in the library
of Tarbiat Modarres University. I worked on this seminar under supervision of Dr
Mohammad Taghi Ahmadi.

Thesis Of MS Course
(To see a complete explanation of the thesis please read my
paper
extracted from the thesis)
A computer model is developed for optimal (least-cost)
design of water supply pipeline systems.
This model can receive pumping stations and pressure reducing
valves as possible or predefined locations and optimize their
specifications and layout simultaneously. This means, the model may
automatically omit certain possible locations of pumping stations and
pressure reducing valves in the optimum layout and find the best
combination of pipe diameters, pipe pressure classes, junction heads,
pumping dynamic heads and pressure reducing valves’ setting heads to
attain the least-cost design. In this model, a special case of
optimization is defined as constant pipe diameter optimization in which,
the system will be optimized in such a way that pipeline diameter be
constant between each pair of special points of the route. Special points
can be defined as junctions of changing the flow rates or location of
pumping stations, etc. This case of optimization is directly entered in
the general formulation and is an optional solution method in the model.
These features are formulated in this model for the
first time (in the world):
- Simultaneous optimization of pumping stations and pressure reducing
valves' parameters and the layout of system.
- Simultaneous optimization of predefined and possible locations of
pumping stations and pressure reducing valves.
- Capability of optimizing large systems with 2000 Pipes and/or
locations of pumping stations and/or locations of PRVs, 1350 state
variables, 40 available pipe diameters, 40 different pressure class
for each available pipe diameter and 100 terminal pressure levels.
- Formulation of a practical type of optimization (Constant pipe
diameter optimization) as an option in the general model.

Paper On 'Prevalent Mistakes In The Minimum Reinforcements In Slabs
And Foundations'
I wrote this paper in Persian and published it in one of Iranian
engineering magazines. It is showed in the paper that minimum
reinforcements advised by different valid references (used in Iran) like
ACI, USBR Design Manuals, Iran Concrete Code and ... are not totally
compatible with each other and sometimes have very different criteria and
it is shown that this matter (in some points) is not clearly explained in
references and are left vague so that Iranian designers and also Iranian
authors have many mistakes in interpretation and use of these rules. I
explained the correct interpretation of rules then showed some dark points
in the references and presented my idea about them. |
This is my background in civil engineering and other
related fields. It is avoided to list all the details of the works or projects.

Work in Perlite Construction Co
in the project of construction of 'BandarAbbas Refinery'
Post: As one of engineers in the technical office and also work in
the computer office |
| Also in 1993-1994 |
Programming of the software EWAP
It is designed for Earth works Analysis in highway engineering and
also it can compute earth works in irrigation canals and irregular
channels. This program is written in Turbo Pascal 7.0 and used
capabilities of Turbo Vision.
Some of the capabilities are as follows:
- Capable of compute earthworks in highways
- Capable of compute earthworks in irregular channels
- Capable of compute earthworks in irrigation channels
- Capable of presentation of sections in monitor and printing to
matrix printers
- Capable of exporting longitudinal profile of the route to AutoCAD.

Work in Pandam Consulting Engineers
Post:
- As hydraulic and structural designer of projects, also I
designed general layout of the projects, did quantity evaluations and
prepared tender documents. Also I did supervision of some projects.
Projects:
- 'Anzali Lagoon Protection',
I participated in the phase-1 study team of the project but I was the hydraulic
and structural designer of all the pumping stations and
other structures of the project. I managed preparing of the related
drawings and I did quantity evaluation and prepare tender documents,
and finally I prepared the final report of the studies.
- 'Azadegan Fish-Culturing Project',
It is a very big project. I was the hydraulic and structural designer
of the pumping stations and other structures of the project (including
pumping stations, (240m long) siphon structure beneath Ahwaz-Abadan
main highway, bifurcation structure, intakes, gates, regulating
structures and ...). I managed preparing of the related drawings and I
did quantity evaluation and prepare tender documents, and finally I
prepared the final report of the studies. I supervised on the
construction of the project. Some parts of the project -like main
siphon structure- is under operation now.
- 'Azadegan Fish-Culturing Projects' Main
Pumping
Station', I
was the hydraulic and structural designer
of the pumping station, This pumping station has a capacity of 35 m3/sec
and has totally 16 operating pumps and 2 standby. I also made quantity
evaluations and prepared tender documents. (To see one of the drawings

- 'Sugarcane improvement and Related Industries (Salman Farsi
Unit)', I was
the structural designer
of some structures like the pumping station, culverts and bridges and
also some buildings.
- 'Aziz kian Embankment Dam',
I was in a team to do phase-1 studies and did studies on
general plan and initial hydraulic design of diversion system and the
spillway.
- 'Kermanshah Small Power plants',
I was in a team to do phase-0 studies (distinguishing phase) and I
study on the river (field study) and selected appropriate locations
for power plants and other required structures and prepared general
report of the studies.
