Engineering Geology and Geomechanics

The notifications to presenting authors confirming their specific date and time of presentation will be communicated the 20 August 2016.

Second Draft Preliminary programme is being updated per theme as the SPC signs them off.

The detailed draft day by day programme for each theme is being announced as it is being collated. These are still preliminary and will be finalised by the 20 August.

As this is the Second draft, please note that where there are abstract presenters not yet registered, these have now been removed from the programme.
Once removed, you will not be included in the abstracts or the programme. If your co-author is presenting, please contact the secretariat urgently to confirm and advise so that your paper can be moved to the correct presenter. Email 35igc@allevents.co.za if you have any queries or if you have in the interim managed to secure finances and registered.

Engineering Geology and Geomechanics

Construction and mining are branches of engineering that rely heavily on a detailed understanding of the physical, chemical/mineralogical and mechanical properties of rock and soil. Papers and symposia on the engineering applications of the geosciences and their importance to a wide range of industries are invited for this theme.
