Description
Summary:Ground control is the science of studying and controlling the behavior of rock strata in response to mining operations. Ground control related research has made significant advancements over the last 35 years and these accomplishments are well documented in the proceedings of the annual International Conference on Ground Control in Mining （ICGCM） [1]. The International Confer- ence on Ground Control in Mining is a forum to promote closer communication among researchers, consultants, regulators, manu- facturers, and mine operators to expedite solutions to ground con- trol problems in mining Fundamental research and advancements in ground control science comprise the central core of the confer- ence mission. Providing information to the mine operators is a pri- ority as the conference goal is solution-oriented information. In addition, the conference has included innovative technologies and ideas in mining related fields such as exploration, geology, and surface and underground mining. Many new ground control technologies and design standards adopted by the mining industry were first discussed at the conference [2-6]. Therefore, this confer- ence is recognized as the best forum for introducing new ground control related research and products.
