Assoc. Prof. Ir. Dr. Ismacahyadi Bagus Mohamed Jais obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia in 2001. He then, obtained his Master’s Degree in Geotechnical Engineering/Engineering Geology from University of Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom in 2004 where his dissertation specializes in finite element analysis of geotechnical problems relating to Muar Trial Embankment using PLAXIS Finite Element Code. He finally obtained his Ph.D in Civil Engineering from Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia in 2014 focusing on wetting collapse behaviour of saturated and unsaturated soils. He is a professional engineer with the Board of Engineers, Malaysia and Member of the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia from 2021. His interests include numerical modelling of geotechnical problem, geoforensic engineering, alternative ground treatment and ground engineering, slope engineering and rehabilitation, embankment dam engineering and tunnelling. Currently, he is an Associate Professor in the School of Civil Engineering, College of Engineering, UiTM and has involved in research and consultations relating to numerical simulation and physical modelling of geotechnical problems. His projects include assessment of tilting retaining wall in Semenyih for Castmet Sdn Bhd, temporary geotechnical support structure at Pulau Indah for TH Heavy Engineering Bhd, stability assessment of new bulkhead and wharf at Pulau Indah for TH Heavy Engineering Bhd, detail design of ground repair and remediation at MTBE Petronas Chemicals, Gebeng, Kuantan for Petronas Chemicals Bhd, dam stability analysis at Wadi Al Asla, Jeddah for the government of Saudi Arabia, ground rehabilitation and approach treatment at various JKR, PLUS Expressway Bhd, SKVE Holdings Sdn Bhd and MTD Prime Sdn Bhd projects. He is also involved in the MS2038 Malaysian Code of Practice for Site Investigation with Standards Malaysia, Standard Specification for Road Works JKR, Section 18: Soil Stabilisation, Section 2: Earthworks, Section 20: Ground Improvement and Section 10: Foundation Works and Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) for guidelines in Best Practice for Subgrade Stabilisation. He has also served with Bahagian Pakar dan Forensik, Cawangan Kejuruteraan Geoteknik (CKG), Jabatan Kerja Raya Malaysia (JKR) as advisor for geoforensic investigation and solution. He is also a trainer and subject matter expert on using PLAXIS Finite Element Code (FEC) for practising engineers delivered to Ranhill Bersekutu Sdn Bhd, OPUS Consultants, Cawangan Kejuruteraan Geoteknik, Jabatan Kerja Raya Malaysia (JKR) and Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran Malaysia (JPS). His research involved the application of polyurethane foam injection and flatbed systems as alternatives to ground rehabilitation works for various geotechnical problems, finite element analysis of geoforensic and geotechnology solution, soil stabilisation using polymeric substance, ground rehabilitation using micro helical anchor and underpinning for sustainable construction.
