Symposium Themes
The symposium themes, cover all aspects of
rock mechanics and rock engineering practices.
Accepted topics can range from principles and
applications in rock mechanics to numerical
modeling,
laboratory
testing
and
field
measurements.
Recent practices and case
studies in rock engineering are also encouraged.
Welcome
Geomechanics Research Unit (GMR), Institute
of Engineering, Suranaree University of
Technology is pleased to present the Fifth
Thailand Rock Mechanics Symposium
(ThaiRock 2015) to be held on January 22-23,
2015, at the Romantic Resort & Spa, Khao Yai
National Park, Thailand.
ThaiRock 2015 is aimed to promote the
significance of rock mechanics knowledge and
profession in the ASEAN countries. The
symposium allows an opportunity for academia,
researchers and regulators to discuss and
exchange their knowledge, problems and
experience.
The
rapid
development
of
infrastructures and exploitation of energy and
mineral resources in the ASEAN countries has
enhanced the significance and needs of rock
mechanics knowledge and skill. These include,
for example, potash and coal mining, energy
storage, waste disposal, geothermal energy, oil
& gas production, and high-speed transportation
system. The success of the past Thailand Rock
Mechanics Symposia (2007 through 2013) also
reflects the increasing demand of professional
rock mechanists for the research institutes and
private industries. We are confident that
ThaiRock 2015 will be fruitful for the academia
and practitioners in all disciplines relevant to rock
mechanics.
