13th International ISRM Congress 2015

Introduction

The ISRM Technical Program will be divided into 20 tracks. Papers will be divided among these technical program topics:

• Application of geophysics in rock mechanics
• Enabled rock mechanics: scope of augmented reality, virtual reality and artificial intelligence
• Explosive free rock breakage techniques for rock excavation and drilling
• Fracture mechanics and fracture propagation
• Fractured rock and rock mass discontinuities
• Ground freezing
• High temperature geomechanics
• In-situ stress measurement
• Lab and in-situ rock characterization and modelling
• Numerical, analytical, contitutive modelling or rock processes
• Prediction and modelling
• Remote sensing and seismicity
• Reservoir geomechanics
• Rock mechanics risk assessment
• Rock physics models for enhanced hydrocarbon recovery
• Role of uncertainties in rock engineering design
• Slope stability and land slides
• Stability and excavation support
• Subsidence – prediction and mitigation of its impacts
• Underground storage of petroleum, gas, CO₂ , and nuclear waste disposal
