Underground Space in the City: Rock Engineering Issues in the Development of Urban Underground Environment

作为2000年太平洋岩石会议的一部分，第四届北美岩石力学研讨会（NARMS），美国岩石力学协会（ARMA）基金会在国家科学基金会的支持下，将于2000年7月30日在西雅图的华盛顿大学举办为期一天的研讨会，名为“城市地下空间：城市地下环境发展中的岩石工程问题”。研讨会将探讨目前国际上对地下城市空间的利用，通过实例描述岩石力学和岩石工程在城市环境中的独特应用，产生研究思路和可研究的问题，以促进城市地下环境的新创新。ARMA基金会将制作一份记录研讨会并描述研究需求的报告。研讨会的会议记录也将提供。有关研讨会的信息可以在太平洋岩石网站www.armarocks.org上找到。

As part of Pacific Rocks 2000, the Fourth North American Rock Mechanics Symposium (NARMS), the American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA) Foundation with support from the National Science Foundation will hold a one-day workshop, Underground Space in the City: Rock Engineering Issues in the Development of the Urban Underground Environment on July 30, 2000 at the University of Washington in Seattle. The workshop will explore the current international use of underground urban space, describe by example unique applications of rock mechanics and rock engineering in an urban setting, generate research ideas and researchable issues that will foster new innovation in the urban underground environment. The ARMA Foundation will produce a report documenting the workshop and describing research needs. Proceedings of the workshop will also be available. Information on the workshop can be found on the Pacific Rocks page of www.armarocks.org.
