Workshop on Rock Mechanics in Extreme Environments

极端环境中的岩石力学：一个探讨岩石力学在岩石环境中应用的研讨会将于2001年7月7日举行，作为在华盛顿举行的DC岩石2001：第38届美国岩石力学研讨会的一部分。研讨会将探讨国家关注的领域，如资源开发，国家安全，科学探索，建筑和基础设施。极端环境是指岩石暴露在人类活动引起的环境变化中的环境。研讨会将由专家们就岩石在极端环境条件下的独特机械和工程特性以及使岩石能够经受极端环境的技术进行一系列介绍。这些演讲将包括正在进行的研究计划和在这些环境条件下工作所固有的问题。演讲结束后，研讨会参与者将讨论如何更好地理解极端条件下岩石的许多未知特性。研究和技术开发如何帮助实现这一目标？研讨会的主题包括高动态载荷下的岩石和岩石结构，崩落法采矿，新的Transalpine隧道中的困难岩石条件，城市环境中的爆破，建筑中的石头，岩石作为建筑材料，断裂基岩，以及火星上深钻的岩石力学。 所有的讨论记录将被汇编、编辑和出版在一份文件中，该文件将通过阿尔马基金会及其网站免费分发。

Rock Mechanics in Extreme Environments: A Workshop to Explore Applications of Rock Mechanics in Challenging Settings will take place on July 7, 2001, as part of DC Rocks 2001: The 38th U.S. Rock Mechanics Symposium in Washington, DC. The workshop will probe areas of national concern, such as resource development, national security, scientific exploration, and building and infrastructure. An extreme environment is one in which rock is exposed to a change in its environment caused by the activities of humans. The workshop will consist of a series of presentations by experts on the unique mechanical and engineering properties of rock under extreme environmental conditions, and technologies that make it possible to subject rocks to extreme environments. These presentations will include research initiatives underway and the problems inherent in working under these environmental conditions. After the presentations, workshop participants will discuss how the many unknown characteristics of rock under extreme conditions can be better understood. How can research and technology development help in this quest? Workshop topics include rock and rock structures under high dynamic loading, caving method mining, difficult rock conditions in the new Transalpine Tunnels, blasting in urban environments, stone in architecture, rock as a building material, fractured bedrock, and rock mechanics for deep drilling on Mars. All discussion transcripts will be compiled, edited and published in a document that will be distributed at no cost through the ARMA Foundation and its Web site.
