Initiated by Rock Mechanics Committee, ISRM; organized by IRSM(Wuhan), CAS, ISRM Rock Dynamics Workshop is held in Wuhan on Dec 11 to 13, 2010. 30 scholars and famous experts specialized in rock mechanics research have attended the workshop, they are mainly from Singapore, Canada, American, Australia, Norway and Central South University, Dalian University of Technology, Wuhan University, Wuhan University of Technology, Tongji University, University of Science and Technology of China, Nanjing University, North West Nuclear Technology Institute, Changjiang River Scientific Research Institute, Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics, Wuhan, etc. The workshop mainly discusses on Suggested Methods for Determining the Dynamic Strength Parameters Rock Materials.
Representatives discusse enthusiastically on the first draft of the suggested methods, they put forward specific modification suggestion to suggested methods, hoping the methods could be approved and promulgated by the council as the guiding document of rock mechanics experiment before The 12th International Rock Mechanics Conference of 2011.
At present, there is no suggested methods on rock mechanics in the world yet. As the initiator and participant, IRSM(Wuhan) began to write Suggested Methods for Determining the Dynamic Strength Parameters Rock Materials on 2008.
