High-stress ground conditions can impact the safety of workers, production rates, and the potential overall value of a deposit. Integrating your mine design with deep mining rock mechanics can preserve, or even improve, the safety and reliability of a high-stress mine. Trust Golders global team of engineers to help you safely improve the value of your mine.

Golder is proud to present at the 13th International Congress on Rock Mechanics.

Engineering Earths Development, Preserving Earths Integrity.

STRESSED OUT BY GROUND CONDITIONS?JUST ASK GOLDER.

LETTER FROM THE MAYOR

I would like to welcome to Montral the delegates attendingthe 13th International Symposium on Rock Mechanics.

This Symposium will provide an opportunity to discuss yourbest practices, hear keynote speakers and visit severalexhibitor stands and discover new products.

As you know, Montral is a hub for research and innovation,and the citys 11 university institutions train highly specializedprofessionals. Montrals 250 research centres are always

looking at ways to find innovative solutions.

Montral and mining companies are closely related as most of their headquarters arelocated in the city. Decisions are made in Montral and we have a vested interest inworking together.

I hope that you will return to Montral for business or with your friends of family.Please take the time to discover our unique tourist attractions, fine restaurants andwarmth of the community.

Enjoy the Symposium.

Denis CoderreMayor of Montral

The Members of the Organizing Committee of ISRM 2015, the 13th InternationalSociety on Rock Mechanics Congress, are pleased to welcome you to this yearsconference in Montral, Qubec, Canada.

ISRM Congress 2015 is hosted by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy andPetroleum (CIM), in collaboration with three top Canadian universities: McGillUniversity, Queens University, and University of Toronto, as well as the Canadian RockMechanics Association (CARMA). Also supporting ISRM is the American RockMechanics Association (ARMA).

This premier technical mining conference is bringing together over 800 high profileinternational researchers, engineers and practitioners to present the latestaccomplishments, innovations and potential future directions in rock mechanics andits applications around the world. After Germany, Japan, France, South Africa,Portugal, and China, the ISRM Congress is finally coming back to Montral!

DISTINGUISHED LECTURERS7th MLLER AWARD LECTURE Engineering in Fractured Rock Masses

John A. Hudson, Emeritus Professor, Department of Earth Science and Engineering Imperial College London, UK

The Mller Award is named in honour of the founder and firstpresident of the International Society for Rock Mechanics, Prof.Leopold Mller. The award is conferred once every four years inrecognition of distinguished contributions to the profession ofrock mechanics and rock engineering. It consists of a specialMller Lecture to be delivered at the ISRM InternationalCongresses, a work of art typical of the culture of the countryhosting the Congress, and a silver medallion with a portrait ofLeopold Mller. This years recipient, Dr. John A. Hudson isEmeritus Professor in the Department of Earth Science and

Engineering at the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine in London. President of the ISRM from 2007 to 2011, he also holds numerous adjunct/visiting/honorary professorial roles. He was the Editor of the International Journal of Rock Mechanics & Mining Sciences for 23 years from 1983 to 2006. He has authored/co-authored six books and more than 150 technical papers, plus a further three edited books, including Comprehensive Rock Engineering (5 vols, 4407 pages) which is the only international benchmark overview of all aspects of rock engineering.

ISRM ROCHA MEDAL 2015 LECTUREInvestigating the Influence of Mechanical Anisotropy on the Fracturing Behavior of Brittle Clay Shales with Application to Deep Geological Repositories

2015 Recipient Andrea Lisjak Bradley, NSERC Industrial R&D, Fellow Geomechanica Inc, Toronto, Canada

The Rocha Medal honours Prof. Manuel Rocha, past Societypresident who organized the first ISRM Congress. It is intendedto stimulate young researchers in the field of rock mechanics.The prize, a bronze medal and a cash prize, have been annuallyawarded since 1982 for an outstanding doctoral thesis selectedby a Committee appointed for the purpose. This years winner isAndrea Lisjak Bradley. Born in Trieste, Italy, he received his Ph.D.in Civil Engineering - Rock Mechanics from the University ofToronto. His winning thesis: Investigating the influence ofmechanical anisotropy on the fracturing behaviour of brittle clayshales with application to deep geological repositories, was published in 2013.

The 2nd segment of the Monday plenary will provide hard-hitting insight and expertiseon the topics that are most important to the global mining community. The Congresstheme, Innovations in Applied and Theoretical Rock Mechanics, will be reflected at theplenary, through varied and global perspectives.
