WORKSHOP:
  Introduction to the Application of Risk-Based Methods in Underground Mining Geomechanics Workshop
  - A forum for underground mine workers to discuss: the methods used to design for geotechnical risk

Associate Professor Johan WesselooDirector, Australian Centre for Geomechanics
Within the mining community, geotechnical risk is often
underappreciated, sometimes ignored and seldom properly quantified. In
all areas of geomechanics, the uncertainty and variability that
engineers need to deal with necessitate a rigorous process of
quantification or, in the very least, robustly qualifying likelihoods
and consequences. There appears also to be a large gap between the
state-of-the-art and the state of general practice when it comes to the
qualification and quantification of geotechnical risk. The aim of this
ACG workshop is to provide a forum for underground mine workers to
discuss: the methods used to design for geotechnical risk and those used
to manage these risks; to identify shortcomings; and to close the gap
between the state-of-the-art and the state-of-practice.
