5th Australia-New Zealand Conference on Geomechanics
Organized by the Sydney Group of the Australian Geomechanics Society, the theme of this conference is "Prediction versus Performance." Topics include groundwater problems; geotechnics of weak and jointed rock; u n d e r g r o u n d m i n i n g stresses and movements; prediction of excavation characteristics; f o u n d a t i o n s on rock; f o u n d a t i o n s on soil; failures as a yardstick for prediction ability; geotechnical testing; e a r t h q u a k e a n d vibrations. State-of-theart topics include: prediction of rock excavatability; i n s t r u m e n t a t i o n in geomechanics; geomechanics aspects of e a r t h q u a k e engineering; and f o u n d a t i o n s in expansive soils.

Rock Mechanics and Power Plants
This i n t e r n a t i o n a l symposium, sponsored by the I n t e r n a t i o n a l Society of Rock Mechanics, is also the 10th Spanish National Rock Mechanics Symposium. Organized by the Spanish Society for Rock Mechanics, the symposium will cover all rock mechanics problems related to the planning, design, construction, and operations of all kinds of power plants (underground and surface, hydroelectric, coal, fuel, nuclear, and others). Themes will include: excavation and f o u n d a t i o n of surface power plants; underground power plants; hydroelectric schemes; u n d e r g r o u n d storage of energy products. Languages of the conference will be English, French, German, and Spanish (simultaneous translation). Poster sessions and an e x h i b i t i o n of technical materials and books will be organized. The 1988 ISRM Board and Council Meetings will be held in conjunction with this symposium.
