Invitation
The Fourth International Conference on New Development in Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering (NDRM2012) aims to provide a forum for experts, scholars and professorionals to promote the exchange and application of new techniques and productions in rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering. Creative research results, new development as well as field case studies will be read out and discussed.
The International Conference on New Development in Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering has been successfully held in 1994 (in Shenyang), 2002(in Shenyang) and 2009 (in Hainan) respectively. The 4th International Symposium on New Development in Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering (NDRM2012) sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China(NNSF) and Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering (CSRME) will be held on 14-17 September, 2012 in Northeastern University. We would greatly appreciate if you could take your time attending the symposium.
