Call for Abstracts
Abstracts are invited for papers to be submitted to the next International Symposium on Rock Slope Stability in Open Pit Mining and Civil Engineering: Slope Stability 2011, to be held September 18-21, 2011 in Vancouver, Canada. This specialty meeting will explore recent innovation and key developments in the design, analysis, excavation and management of rock slopes. Slope Stability 2011 will provide a forum for mine owners and operators, consultants, engineers, suppliers and researchers to exchange views on how to promote best practices in slope stability investigations, design, monitoring and management.The Technical Program for the symposium will examine the transformation our profession is undergoing as unprecedented amounts of quantitative data become available through new measurement and analysis techniques. But how do we make sense of all the numbers and data that are now available to us? Authors are asked to consider this question and share their experiences as they relate to the investigation, monitoring, analysis and stabilization of large rock slopes.
Abstracts must be prepared in a Word document and should be limited to 400 words. The abstract is to provide a general scope of the work, a summary of the results, and the significance of the work and applications. All accepted written papers will be peer reviewed and published in the Proceedings of the 2011 International Symposium on Rock Slope Stability in Open Pit Mining and Civil Engineering.
