7th International ISRM Congress on Rock M e c h a n i c s
Themes of the congress will be: (1) Rock mechanics and geology; (2) Stress-strain behavior, dynamic behavior, and water permeability of jointed rock; (3) Underground openings in rock; (4) Reck excavation; (5) Dam foundations in rock; and (6) Slopes. A number of one-day workshops also will be offered. For more information write: Prof. Dr.-Ing. W.

September 18-20, 1991 International Conference Manchester, on Earthquake, Blast and Impact England Organised by the Society for Earthquake and Civil Engineering Dynamics, this conference will bring together clients, consultants, contractors, manufacturers, academics and researchers to discuss the state of the art and future developments in this field. Particular emphasis will be given to the measurement and testing of the dynamic behavior of structures and structural elements, and their effects on plant and people. The muin emphasis will be on: Sources and measurement (earthquake, blast, shock, impact); Response and measurement (displacement and stresses); Industrial case histories (plantYequipment/structures); Testing equipment (on site/in laboratory); Construction effects (piling and demolition); Analysis and design aspects; Code issues; and Mitigation of effects. Call for papers: Anyone wishing to present a paper should submit two copies of a typed abstract (200-500 words) by August 31, 1990, to the ICE Conference Office. For more information contact: The Conference Office, Institution of Civil Engineers, 1-7 Great George St., London SW1P 3AA, U.I~

Grouting, Soil Improvement a n d Geosynthetics
The ASCE Committees on Grouting and Soil Improvement and Geosynthetics are jointly organizing this conference. The conference will focus on recent developments in the U.S. and abroad in design and practice of grouting techniques, soil improvement and geosynthetics engineering. Sessions will cover: (1) Reinforcement of Foundations Soils; (2) Densification of Foundation Soils; (3) Stabilized Embankments and Orad Layers; (4) In-Situ Slope Stabilization; (5) Geosynthetics for Soil Improvement; (6) Grouting materials; (7) Grouting technology and apphcations; (8) Ground Treatment for Tunnels; (9) In-Situ Waste Stabilization; and (10) Soil Modification and Environmental Geotechnology. Call for Papers: Send a 500-word abstract, in duplicate, by September 1, 1990, to the following address: Dr. Ilan Juran, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803 U.S.A. Tel. (504) 3888699. Fax: (504) 388-5990. August 23-26, 1993 International Congress o n Kingston, Ontario, C a n a d a Mine Design "Mining into the 21st Century" is the theme of this congress, which is sponsored by the Queen's University Faculty of Applied Science and the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. The congress is intended to establish a forum in which to discuss state-of-the-art technology, innovative mining practice, and the anticipated evolution of mining trends. The international scope of the forum will be used to introduce global changes in technology that will shape the future of world mining into the next century. Plenary papers discussing mine design and pecific regional problems from all continents will promote a global interchange of mining technology. Parallel specialty sessions will cover advances in specific topic areas, including computer applications; backfill technology; microseismic technology; mine automation and materials handling; blasting technology; open pit technology; underground support design; mine sequencing; mine ventilation; mine dewatering; and instrumentation technology. A trade show will feature displays of the latest in mining equipment and technology, including heavy equipment and automated machinery demonstrations. Official languages of the congress are English and French. The first call for papers will be issued in January 1991. For more information contact: Peter Scott, Public Relations, ICMD, Department of Mining Engineering, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada K7L 3N6. Tel. 613-545-2212. Fax: 613-545-6597.
