Abstract
Studying the Geoengineering Hazards Using Remote
Sensing Techniques and its Application on El-Mokattam Area.
This thesis presents the geoengineering hazards and their
influence on urbanization and planning of new settlement areas at
the Southern Upper Plateau of El-Mokattam area in Greater Cairo,
Egypt.
Remote sensing technique, as a new efficient source of data.
is used in this study of limited area where terrain variations become
very clear. A link between the geological nature of the study area
and its influence on the engineering behavior of the plateau is
considered.
The main topographic, geomorphic, geologic and structural
characteristics of the study area are presented. This is achieved by
dividing the area into four zones according to their different
characterizing features using topographic maps and aerial photos.
This thesis confirms the unfavorable conditions of the southern and
southwestern scarps.
An extensive fieldwork program for monitoring long-term
ground lateral displacements for four drilled boreholes at the
Southern Upper Mokattam Plateau is presented. The lateral
displacement profiles indicate the very strong relation between the
