53rd U.S. Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium

53rd U.S. Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium


The American Rock Mechanics Association invites you to its 53rd US Rock Mechanics / Geomechanics Symposium taking place 23 - 26 June 2019 in New York City, one of the most exciting cities in the world! It is a major financial, commercial and cultural center - a technological and artistic hub that offers many options for entertainment such as famous concerts, shows, and theatrical plays. New York has iconic buildings, bridges, and parks that are well-known worldwide.

SUBJECT AREAS

This symposium encompasses all aspects of rock mechanics, geomechanics, and rock engineering,. We invite scientific and engineering papers in four major tracks that include but are not limited to the following topics:

Petroleum engineering

  • Reservoir geomechanics: characterization and modeling
  • Hydraulic fracturing: modeling and experimental
  • Injection geomechanics
  • Sand in Petroleum Engineering
  • Drilling geomechanics: drilling bits, wellbore stability, casing and cementing
  • Geomechanics of unconventionals

Civil engineering

  • Slope stability, dams, foundations and underground structures
  • Innovative laboratory and field testing
  • Risk assessment and hazard mitigation
  • Numerical modeling of geo-structures: advanced constitutive models of rock and rock rocesses, data analytics
  • Rock engineering challenges of prominent projects

Mining engineering

  • Advances in mining geomechanics
  • Innovative laboratory and field testing
  • Seismic response, rockburst evaluation
  • Numerical modeling in mining: pilar performance, fracture behavior, subsidence estimation
  • Risk assessment and mitigation in high stress environment
  • Ground control in coal and hard-rock mining

Geology, geophysics, and interdisciplinary
