Forty one years ago, the International Society for Rock Mechanics
(ISRM) held its 1st International Congress in Lisbon, Portugal. In
July 2007, the 11th ISRM Congress returned to Lisbon, where the
Portuguese Geotechnical Society (SPG), the Portuguese National
Group of the ISRM, hosted the meeting. The Second Half Century of
Rock Mechanics comprises the proceedings of the 11th ISRM Congress,
and reviews how the discipline of Rock Mechanics has evolved over
the past half century to become an important area of Geotechnical
Engineering, and considers new perspectives and developments as
well. The organization of the congress was co-sponsored by the
Spanish Society for Rock Mechanics (SMR), who also organized two
satellite workshops in Madrid ("Underground Works under Special
Conditions" and "Preservation of Natural Stone and Rock
Weathering"). The Congress also included another satellite workshop
in the Azores ("2nd International Workshop on Volcanic Rocks"),
several short courses, a selection of one-day technical tours in
Portugal and other events. The Second Half Century of Rock
Mechanics contains the complete papers presented by the ISRM
National Groups, as well as transcripts of special lectures by
invited speakers on key issues and recent research developments.
The themes of general interest included: Rock Engineering and
Environmental Issues; The Path from Characterization to Modelling;
Slopes, Foundations and Open Pit Mining; Tunnel, Caverns and
Underground Mining; Earthquake Engineering and Rock Dynamics;
Petroleum Engineering and Hydrocarbon Storage; and Safety
Evaluation and Risk Management. The Second Half Century of Rock
Mechanics will be of interest to professionals, engineers, and
academics involved in rock mechanics, rock engineering, tunnelling,
mining, earth quake engineering, rock dynamics and geotechnical
engineering.
