Prof. Dr. Michel Bakhoum Late Professor of Structural Analysis and Mechanics Structural Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University The late Prof. Michel Bakhoum was well known as a leader in the field of structural engineering in Egypt. He was one of the eminent teachers, professors, and engineers in the Arabic Republic of Egypt. Education: Prof. Dr. Michel Bakhoum was born in Cairo in 1913. He graduated first of his class in 1931 in the National High School Diploma Exam, winning the prestigious Prize of Prince Omar Tosson. Prof. Bakhoum obtained his B.Sc., M.Sc., and first Ph.D. degrees in Civil Engineering from Cairo University (then known as Fuad I University) in 1936, 1942, 1945 respectively. Prof. Bakhoum received a second Ph.D degree from University of Illinois (USA) in 1948. He then spent a year in New York where he did post-doctoral studies at Columbia University while working simultaneously in a consulting firm. Academia: Prof. Bakhoum taught at Cairo University for about 44 years. In 1937 he was appointed Demonstrator in the Civil Engineering Department at Cairo University. He also worked in the Concrete and Soil Mechanics laboratories. After completing his Ph.D. studies, he took the post of lecturer in the same Department teaching Reinforced Concrete Design. Prof. Bakhoum headed the Concrete Research Laboratory at Cairo University in the fifties. In 1957, Prof. Bakhoum was appointed to the Chair of Professor of Theory of Structures and Elasticity, later renamed as Chair of Professor of Structural Analysis and Mechanics. Prof. Bakhoum supervised several researchers for the degrees of M.Sc. and Ph.D. in reinforced concrete and structural analysis at Cairo University. He was the author of many technical papers in reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete and structural analysis. He participated actively in international conferences in these fields. Engineering: In 1950, Prof. B
