Partnerships and External Stakeholder Engagement
At this stage, the Intelligent Geotechnical Systems and Sustainable Infrastructure research group does not have formal Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with external entities. The partnerships listed below represent external engagement and relevant stakeholders who support knowledge dissemination, professional capacity building, and the application of research outcomes in engineering practice.
Government Sector
- Ministry of Public Works and Housing (MPWH):
Dissemination of research outcomes and technical expertise related to structural and geotechnical engineering that support infrastructure design, evaluation, and professional practice.
- Amman Greater Municipality (GAM):
Professional engagement through technical consultation, seminars, and dissemination of research findings related to infrastructure performance, soil behavior, and urban development challenges.
Professional and National Organizations
- Jordan Engineers Association (JEA): Faculty participation through invited lectures, technical seminars, and professional training activities, contributing to continuing professional development and knowledge transfer for practicing engineers.
Private Sector - Arab Center for Engineering Studies (ACES):
Collaboration on field and laboratory geotechnical and geophysical investigations.
International Organizations
- International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE):
The group's research in ground improvement, analytical modeling, soil behavior, and sustainable foundation systems aligns directly with the society's technical scope and contributes to ongoing international discussions in geotechnical engineering and resilient infrastructure.
- International Geosynthetics Society (IGS):
Research conducted on soil stabilization, reinforcement systems, and sustainable ground technologies contribute to professional discussions and technical developments within IGS, particularly in areas related to geosynthetic applications and performance-based ground improvement solutions.
- International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment (IAEG):
As IAEG promotes the integration of engineering geology and environmental considerations in infrastructure development, the group’s research on ground characterization, soil–environment interaction, and infrastructure performance under varying geological conditions contributes to international knowledge exchange in safe and sustainable geotechnical practice.
- Geo-Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE):
The Geo-Institute of ASCE provides an international professional platform for advancements in geotechnical engineering, ground improvement, and geo-environmental systems. The research group’s work in analytical modeling, sustainable foundation engineering, and intelligent geotechnical systems directly aligns with the Institute’s technical scope and contributes to ongoing professional dialogue in advancing geotechnical practice.
