AusRock 2014: Third Australasian Ground Control in Mining Conference

Add to cart
AusRock 2014: Third Australasian Ground Control in Mining Conference was held
in Sydney, NSW. It was jointly hosted by the International Society of Rock
Mechanics and its affiliates in Australasia, the Australian Geomechanics
Society, the New Zealand Geotechnical Society and the Eastern Australia Ground
Control Group. The conference provided an update to mining industry geotechnical
personnel on best practice in both Australasia and overseas. It acted as an
information exchange vehicle between the coal and metalliferous sectors of the
industry, with a focus on new technologies and developments, industry needs and
mine site problem solving and practical case studies. Papers presented covered
all mining sectors, focusing on new technologies and developments, industry
needs and problem solving and practical case studies related to ground control
in mining.
