Overview

The objective is to show that since rock masses are generally jointed, anisotropic and not homogenous, the accurate representation of the in-situ rock mass conditions is of paramount importance in rock mechanics modelling and design.

The talk will provide some guidelines on the numerical modelling of underground and surface excavations and will discuss why the choice of appropriate modelling methods (i.e. Continuum vs Discontinuum & 2D vs 3D) in simulating the behaviour of a rock mass and the elements used as rock reinforcement is a critical and extremely important decision that should be undertaken with careful consideration.

Reflections on CoP26: a Welsh perspective of impact on climate policy and action

Dr Clive Walmsley will provide an insight CoP26 and reflections on its outcome, principally from a Welsh perspective. In the run up to CoP focus was on climate change, six months later, what impetus has it provided, and how has it influenced our policy and action?
