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 PREMIER OF QUEBEC
I take pleasure in welcoming you to the 13th
InternationalCongress of the International Society for Rock
Mechanics(IRSM), a unique opportunity to pool the know-how of
morethan a thousand mining specialists from around the world.
Theevent is unquestionably an important one for
miningprofessionals.
The Qubec government shares the ISRMs objectives withrespect to
promotion, collaboration and information exchangesin the realm of
mining operations. I am pleased that the eventwill enable you to
participate in numerous networking activitiesand that it will help
promote knowledge, teaching, research
and development and expertise in the mining field.
The ISRM congress is an essential event for the domestic and

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

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.
