Transit Development in Rock Mechanics-Recognition, Thinking and
Innovation contains 150 papers presented at the 3rd ISRM
International Young Scholars' Symposium on Rock Mechanics (8-10
November 2014, Xi'an, China). The volume focusses on the
transitional development in rock mechanics research from surface to
underground mining and from shallow to a deep rock excavations, and
on the transition of knowledge, thinking and innovation from
pioneers to the young generation. The contributions cover a wide
range of topics: Field investigation and measurements Physical and
mechanical properties of rocks Analysis and design methods for rock
engineering Numerical and physical modeling Multi-fields coupling
analysis methods Rock slope, tunnel and foundation engineering
Monitoring and control of rock pressure in underground engineering
Dynamic rock mechanics and blasting Support and reinforcement
techniques for geotechnical engineering Prediction and control of
artificial hazards with excavation in rock Transit Development in
Rock Mechanics-Recognition, Thinking and Innovation will be
invaluable to engineers and academics interested or involved in
rock mechanics, geotechnical engieering, mine engineering and
underground engineering. The Symposium was organized by the
Commission on Education of International Society for Rock Mechanics
and Xi'an University of Science and Technology, and sponsored by
the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) and the Chinese
Society for Rock Mechanics and Engineering (CSRME).
Rock Mechanics: Achievements and Ambitions contains the papers
accepted for the 2nd ISRM International Young Scholars' Symposium
on Rock Mechanics, which was sponsored by the ISRM and held on
14--16 October 2011 in Beijing, China, immediately preceding the
12th ISRM Congress on Rock Mechanics. Highlighting the work of
young teachers, researchers and practitioners, the present work
provides an important stimulus for the next generation of rock
engineers, because in the future there will be more emphasis on the
use of the Earth's resources and their sustainability, and more
accountability of engineers' decisions. In this context, it is
entirely appropriate that the Symposium venue for the young
scholars was in China -- because of the rock mechanics related work
that is anticipated in the future. For example, in the Chinese
Academy of Sciences report, Energy Science and Technology in China:
A Roadmap to 2050, it is predicted that China's total energy demand
will reach 31, 45, 61 and 66 x 108 tce (tonnes of coal equivalent)
in 2010, 2020, 2035, 2050. The associated per capita energy
consumption for the same years is estimated at 2.3, 3.1, 4.1 and
4.6 tce. This increasing demand will be met, inter alia, by the
continued operation and development of new coal mines,
hydroelectric plants and nuclear power stations with one or more
underground nuclear waste repositories, all of which will be
improved by more modern methods of rock engineering design
developed by young scholars.
