Invitation
It is with great pleasure and honor that we extend to you a warm invitation to attend the 2022 9 th Latin American Rock Mechanics Symposium (LARMS IX), an International Society of Rock Mechanics International Symposium which will be held in Asuncion, Paraguay, from October 16-19, 2022!
The theme for LARMS IX is “Challenges in rock mechanics: towards a sustainable development of infrastructure”. This event will provide a unique opportunity for meeting international experts from around the world and exchanging new ideas and exploring the future directions in the fields of rock mechanics, rock engineering, and geological engineering. The symposium will be preceded by two days of short courses and workshops, include industrial exhibitions, and post conference technical tours. Attractive programs will be provided for young researchers and students, including the student night, poster and paper competitions for students and young researchers/professionals.
Challenges in rock mechanics:
towards a sustainable
development of infrastructure
The IX Latin American Regional Conference of ISRM will host the conversation taking place worldwide regarding sustainable development. We hope to address the main challenges that arise in our discipline when faced with the massive needs of infrastructure, in particular in developing countries.
Topics will include but not be limited to the following:
- Rock mass characterization
- Geophysics applied to rock engineering
- Monitoring techniques
- Numerical methods and modeling in rock mechanics
- Environmental and safety issues in rock engineering and mining
- Soft rocks engineering and case histories
- Tunneling and deep excavations in rock
- Rock mechanics for energy infrastructure
- Petroleum and deep reservoir engineering
- Case histories in rock engineering (interdisciplinary case histories particularly encouraged)
