The Fourth Australasian Ground Control in Mining Conference (AusRock)

Add to cart
The Fourth Australasian Ground Control in Mining Conference, co-hosted by the AusIMM and UNSW Sydney, was held 28-30 November 2018 in Sydney. 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. The papers included in this volume cover all mining sectors, focusing on new technologies and innovations, industry needs and problem solving and practical case studies, slope stability, geotechnical risk management and numerical modelling, and dynamic failures related to ground control in mining.
