Современные тенденции роста объемов производства в технологических отраслях, требующих использование цветных металлов, создают потребность в интенсификации добычи руд, в том числе медно-никелевых. Интенсификация темпов отработки запасов обуславливает увеличение глубины ведения горных работ, в результате чего повышается вероятность реализации геомеханических рисков.

The past three decades have seen a remarkable proliferation in the volume of literature devoted to geotechnical and foundation engineering. There are now a vast number of journals that address these subjects, and many conferences annually produce a welter of papers of variable quality. The undergraduate student is insulated from this plethora of information by curricula that usually follow a well-trodden path and which cover the basics of soil mechanics and engineering mechanics and which employ texts that have been tried, tested and refined over the past 50 years.

При ведении горных работ как открытым, так и подземным способом, негативным фактором является тенденция усложнения горнотехнических и горногеологических условий. Интенсивность горных работ, воздействие тектонических напряжений, а также наличие разного рода и масштаба разломных структур требуют заблаговременного учета и анализа напряженно-деформированного состояния (НДС) массива горных пород при геомеханическом обосновании и проектировании горных работ.

In China, numerous shallow mined-out areas have been left due to the disordered mining by the private coal mines. It is of important theoretical and practical value for the roof stability evaluation and disaster forecasting to research the deformation rupture, instability mechanism, and failure mode of the rock roof in the minedout areas.

The proceedings of ICADD-10 is a collection of 56 technical papers, including 8 keynotes, accepted by the conference. ICADD-10 is the 10th event of the series since 1995. The conference series have been organised every 2–3 years focusing initially on the discontinuous deformation analysis method and gradually covering the discontinuous numerical methods and coupling techniques with other numerical approaches, for geomechanics and geoengineering.

The book sets out to present a state of practice of the geotechnical engineering of embankment dams and their foundations and the geotechnical engineering of the foundations of concrete dams. It assumes that the reader is trained in Civil Engineering or Engineering Geology, with knowledge of soil and rock mechanics.

The Symposium of the International Association for Computer Methods and Advances in Geomechanics (IACMAG) was held at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India, during the period 5–7 March 2019. Computer applications of geomechanics have been gaining much popularity from the early days of the International Conference on Numerical Methods in Geomechanics at Vicksburg, in 1972, Blacksburg, in 1976, and Innsbruck, Austria, in 1988. It was in that very context the IACMAG was established and it has been growing ever since with various stakeholders contributing significantly from different nations across the world. IACMAG aims at fostering multidisciplinary research and ideas pertaining to geomechanics with particular emphasis on integrating both the practical and the fundamental aspects. The field of geomechanics has evolved with time, and in this regard, IACMAG takes into account the need for judicious simplification of fundamental aspects of geomechanics with proper amalgamation of theory and experimentation in order that they find their use in practical problems and challenges faced in the industry today <...>

Soil–structure interaction is a topic of significant importance in the solution of problems in geotechnical engineering. Conventional and ad hoc techniques are usually not sufficient to understand the mechanism and model the challenging behavior at the interfaces and joints prevalent in most structural and foundation systems. In addition to mechanical loading, the behavior of structures containing interfaces can be affected by environmental factors such as fluids, temperature, and chemicals.
