SHIRMS 2008 was an innovative symposium held in Perth, Western Australia in September 2008. SHIRMS brought together more than 230 rock mechanics researchers and practitioners from the main areas of earth sciences to exchange ideas and lessons learnt, and to develop further collaboration and synergies. The symposium set the agenda for future research and operational directions. SHIRMS featured the four main rock mechanics' streams:
It is anticipated that the next Southern Hemisphere International Rock Mechanics Symposium will be held in Cape Town, South Africa in 2011. |

Editors: Yves Potvin, John Carter, Arcady Dyskin and Rob Jeffrey SHIRMS attracted publications from world leaders in fundamental, mining, civil and petroleum rock mechanis engineering, who, through their individual contribution to these proceedings, provide an up-to-date account of the leading edge developments in the field of rock mechanics. The Proceedings of the 1st Southern Hemisphere International Rock Mechanics Symposium features 104 papers that were presented at SHIRMS held in Perth, Western Australia, 16-19 September 2008. The proceedings have been split into two volumes. Volume one covers mining and civil rock mechanics, while Volume two covers fundamental and petroleum rock mechanics. SHIRMS is a new initiative and its success is the result of an active involvement and outstanding contribution from a worldwide authorship.
