CMS0073615PI: David FearyInstitution: National Academy of Sciences"U.S. National Committee for Rock Mechanics"Abstract:The U.S. National Committee for Rock Mechanics (USNC/RM) is the focal point for rock mechanics and other geotechnical activities within the National Research Council (NRC). The USNC/RM provides (1) scientific and technical input to programs within the federal agencies and (2) U.S. participation and adherence to the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM). The USNC/RM operates under the auspices of the NRC's Board on Earth Sciences and Resources.Research and engineering developments in rock mechanics are driven by concerns for the natural and built environment (including radioactive and hazardous waste isolation and remediation and mitigation), mitigation of natural hazards such as earthquakes and landslides, environmentally sound recovery of natural resources, and interest in defense structures in rock. The technological, economic, social, and political impact of these issues engage the attention of many government agencies, business corporations, and public interest groups and posits the need for the USNC/RM.The expertise, judgement, and strategic perspective of the USNC/RM serves to define and help initiate sponsored studies and other activities with respect to major areas of national interest or concern in which rock mechanics problems represent critical or limiting factors. In this regard, the committee offers a forum for meetings with federal agency liaison representative and other interested organizations to exchange ideas and information on important topics that may merit inquiry through the National Research Council.The USNC/RM is the official representative of the United States on the International Society for Rock Mechanics. This role of the committee is particularly important in today's global technical and economic environment for close scientific and technical interaction with the international rock mechanics community.

CMS0073615PI: David feary机构：美国国家科学院摘要：美国国家岩石力学委员会（USNC/RM）是美国国家研究委员会（NRC）内岩石力学和其他岩土工程活动的中心。USNC/RM为联邦机构内的项目提供(1)科学和技术投入；(2)美国参与并加入国际岩石力学学会（ISRM）。USNC/RM在NRC地球科学与资源委员会的支持下运作。岩石力学的研究和工程发展是由对自然和建筑环境的关注（包括放射性和危险废物的隔离和补救和缓解），减轻地震和山体滑坡等自然灾害，自然资源的无害环境恢复以及对岩石防御结构的兴趣所驱动的。这些问题的技术、经济、社会和政治影响引起了许多政府机构、商业公司和公共利益团体的注意，并提出了建立USNC/RM的必要性。USNC/RM的专业知识、判断力和战略视角有助于确定和帮助发起有关国家利益或关注的主要领域的赞助研究和其他活动，其中岩石力学问题代表了关键或限制因素。在这方面，委员会提供了一个论坛，与联邦机构联络代表和其他感兴趣的组织就可能值得通过国家研究委员会进行调查的重要主题交换意见和信息。USNC/RM是美国在国际岩石力学学会的官方代表。在当今全球技术和经济环境中，委员会的这一作用对于与国际岩石力学界密切的科学和技术互动尤为重要。
