Sept. 23-26, 1 9 9 1 Karlsruhe, Germany
This conference, sponsored by the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, will focus on the following aspects of field instrumentation: 1. Instruments and measurement techniques; 2. Data acquisition, processing and interpretation; 3. Use of field measurements as an aid in problem solving. Each topic will be introduced by a main lecture, followed by a general report on the papers submitted to m conference. A special lecture on each topic will be presented by an engineer. Poster sessions and small discussion groups will provide a forum for exchanging ideas and experiences. For more information: FMGM-91, Norwegian GeotechnicalInstitute, P.O.

7th International ISRM Congress on Rock Mechanics
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) Rock excavation; (5) Dam foundations in rock; and (6) Slopes. A numher of one-day workshops also will be offered. For more information write: Prof. Dr.-Ing. W. Wittke, Institut f/it Grundbau, Bodenmechanik, Felsmechsnik und Verkehrswasserbau der RWTH Aachen, Mies-van-der-Rehe-Str. 1, D-5100 Aachen, Germany. September 18-20, 1 9 9 1 International Conference Manchester, on Earthquake, Blast and Impact U,K. Organised by the Society for Earthquake and Civil Engineering DynAmics, this conference will bring together clients, consultants, contractors, m~nu_Cactttrers,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 main emphasis will be on: Sources and measurement (earthquake, blast, shock, impact); Response andmeasurement (displacement and stresses); Industrial case histories (plant/equipment/structures); Testing equipment (on site/in laboratory); Construction effects (piling and demolition); Analysis and design aspects; Code issues; and Mitigation of effects.
