Dr. Mourad participated with the UNESCO to prepare educational material to help teach
earthquake engineering to practicing engineers, with the aim of increasing seismic
awareness of the significance of dynamic loading. The material included colored slides,
videos, textbooks and references, computer programs as well as compact disks. A series
of lectures were prepared using the material in coordination with several other Egyptian
experts. The project was extended further to include seismic retrofitting, and the material
was presented and discussed with experts from various Arab countries.
1991 to date: Dr. Mourad participated in several lectures, workshops, short courses, and
training courses on structural design, with emphasis on seismic design philosophy, theory,
and applications. The following is a partial list of lectures given:
Seismic Design of Liquid Storage Tanks, Workshop on Structural Dynamics and
Earthquake Engineering, Organized by the Egyptian Society of Earthquake
Engineering.
