Ninth Southeast Asia geotechnical conference
Ninth Southeast Asia Geotechnical Conference
December 7-11, 1987 Bangkok, Thailand
Southeast Asian the Sponsored by Geotechnical Society and the Asian Institute of Technology, this conference will focus on the major developments in geotechnical engineering, as well as applications, that have occurred from 1967 to 1987, emphasizing the following themes: engineering behavior of soils and rocks; site ground in-situ tests; investigations and improvement; shallow and deep foundations; settlement of structures; earth and earthsupported structures; and slope stability and landslides.

14th Annual Conference on Explosives and Blasting Techniques
Sponsored by the Society of Explosives Engineers, this conference is intended to provide a forum for the exchange of information and new development in the technology of drilling and blasting. Subject areas will include: blasting systems for use in surface mines, strip mines, quarries, underground mines and for blast phenomena; geologic and engineering aspects of rock lasting; legal and insurance considerations; and theoretical approaches to problems involving blasting.

Mineworkings-
This second international conference and exhibition on construction in areas of abandoned mineworkings will link theory and recent developments to practice in this important subject area. Papers within the following themes will be presented: geology of mining areas; identification of abandoned mineworkings; “safe” working cover; cost-effective treatment of mining areas; piles in mining areas; infilling of -abandoned mineworkings; grouting techniques; foundation design in areas of mineworkings; prediction of settlement in areas of mineworkings; NDT techniques; and case studies.

Forde, Dept. of Civil Engineering and Building Science, University of Edinburgh, The King’s Buildings, Mayfield Road, Edinburgh EH9 3JL, U.K. March 8-11, 1988 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Asian Mining ‘88
Organized by the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy, Asian Mining ‘88 is devoted to the development of the Asian minerals industry-mining, mineral processing, and geology, The conference will deal with the metallurgy. mining, exploration, evaluation, economics, mineral processing, and metallurgy of Asian minerals. The main aim of the conference will be to provide a forum for the discussion of minerals industry research and practice, as well mining opportunities for as projects and investment in mining within the region.
