International Society for Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering (ISRM)

Due to higher-than-expected demand, we’ve made additional spots available for our upcoming European debate, so make sure you register. The debate's title is "Failure criteria: Mohr-Coulomb vs Hoek&Brown" and the speakers are Joseph Labuz from the University of Minnesota, USA, and Ming Cai from Laurentian University, Canada. Philippe Vaskou, from France, will moderate the debate. For complete information, please visit www.isrm.net

The next Young Members' Seminar will be held on 23rd October at 3 PM GMT and will feature presentations from researchers from the Netherlands, Spain, France, and Norway. - Probabilistic Analysis of a Rock Salt Cavern with Application to Energy Storage Systems - Elham Mahmoudi (Deltares, The Netherlands) Size effects on strength and deformability of intact and artificially-jointed hard rock samples - Manuel Alejandro González Fernández (University of Vigo, Spain) - Using Synthetic Rock Mass and Discrete Fracture Network approaches to study rock mass strength properties - Etienne Lavoine (Itasca Consultants S.A.S., France) - A hybrid approach for adequate rock support design in hard rock tunnelling - Jorge Terron-Almenara (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU, Norway) Follow the link to register at the ISRM site: https://lnkd.in/dJaEnshM #isrm #rockmechanics
