Biography: 
Fadi HAGE CHEHADE got PhD degree in Civil and Geotechnical from Lille University and Research Management from Lebanese University. He worked as a research engineer at the French Petroleum Institute from 1991 – till 1998. From 1998 till now, he is a full professor at the Lebanese University.
The main research activities are conducted on the numerical modeling of soil structure interaction problems (Geotechnics area). We have to study complex material structure interactions where we should take into account several particularities like that soil heterogeneities, non linear soil behavior, weak soil near to the surface, many interactions between elements, soil-structure contact, three-dimensional case, water and thermal effects such as :
-Numerical modeling of soil structure interaction problems: tunnels, foundations, structures, piles
- Flowing effects in soil and therm-poro-mechanical effects
- Numerical simulation of porous media and of fracture development and propagation in in the oil reservoir after the water injection in order to improve the recovery.
- Numerical modeling of geological problems (for reservoir oil)
- Polymer mechanical studies: experimental and numerical
- Slopes stability under seismic loading for soil and rocks
- Effect of drying on soil and structures
- Concrete: strength, aggregates
-Smart Cities with the research team of Lille University (France).
