30th U.S. Symposium on Rock Mechanics
The theme of this symposium, sponsored by the I n t e r n a t i o n a l Society of Rock Mechanics and the U.S. National Committee for Rock Mechanics, is "Rock Mechanics as a Guide for E f f i c i e n t Utilization of N a t u r a l Resources." The objective is to assess the state of the art in the science and engineering aspects of rock mechanics in areas currently c o n f r o n t i n g us. The sessions will emphasize mining and excavation, drilling and exploration, and u n d e r g r o u n d storage. In each area, papers will be selected on basic and applied research as well as experimental and analytical studies. Potential c o n t r i b u t o r s of papers should submit four copies of their abstracts to: 30th U.S. Symposium on Rock Mechanics, West Virginia University, Mining Engineering Department, P.O. Box 6070, Morgantown, WV 26506-6070 U.S.A. June 25-28, 1989 Trondheim, Norway
International Conference on Storage of Gases in Rock Caverns
Sponsored by the Norwegian Institute of Technology and the Norwegian Group for Rock Mechanics, this conference will deal with the following themes: pressurized and cryogenic storage of gases; compressed air energy storage (CAES); and air cushion surge chambers utilizing mined caverns in hard and soft rock, and solution cavities in salt. A technical e x h i b i t i o n / p o s t e r section will be held in conjunction with the conference. Technical excursions to local

3rd International Conference on Structural Failure, Product Liability and Technical Insurance
Organized by the Technical University of Vienna, this conference will focus on the impact and influence of f r a c t u r e research, damage prevention and failure mechanics on a d v a n c e d technology, product liability, law, and technical insurance. Main themes of the conference will be failure analysis and legal liability. Law-oriented presentations and discussions will reflect continental, Anglo-American and i n t e r n a t i o n a l law practice. The official language of the conference will be English. Authors are asked to submit a 300-1000 word abstract before October 31, 1988 to: Univ. Doz. Dr. H. P.

Rock at Great Depth
This i n t e r n a t i o n a l symposium, co-sponsored by the ISRM and the Society of Petroleum Engineers, will deal with rock mechanics and rock physics at great depth. Themes and fields of applications include: (1) the mechanical behaviour of rocks exposed in a permanent or transient m a n n e r to high c o n f i n i n g stresses or loading conditions, exceeding the conventional strength of the material; (2) in-situ or laboratory determination of physical characteristics of the rock matrix and the porous or fissured space, and related properties; (3) insitu or laboratory investigation of rock deformability and of the conditions of rupture initiation, propagation and localization of deformations--related theoretical or numerical approaches; and case histories. Languages of the conference will be English, French, German (simultaneous translation).
