Summary Harmonising Rock Mechanics and the Environment comprises the proceedings (invited and contributed papers) of the 12th ISRM International Congress on Rock Mechanics (Beijing, China, 18-21 October 2011). The contributions cover the entire scope of rock mechanics and rock engineering, with an emphasis on the critical role of both disciplines in sustainable development and environmental preservation. The main topics include (but are not limited to): * Site investigation and field observation. * Rock material and rock mass properties testing (laboratory and in situ). * Analysis techniques and desig
Notes Determination of backfill requirements in multi-reef mining using numerical modelling
