Webinar 1 is scheduled to be hosted at 9:00 am (CEST), 14th July 2021 with registration for this webinar closing at 24:00, 11th July 2021 (CEST).
Dear Colleagues, on Friday 25 June 2021, at 15:30 CET, Dr. Nunzio Losacco, Research Fellow at Politecnico di Bari, will be delivering the following webinar: “Numerical modelling of mechanised tunnelling: from simplified to detailed approaches”
We are pleased to announce that the 10th Conference on the Mechanical Behavior of Salt (SaltMech X) will take place on July 6 – 8, 2022 at Utrecht University, the Netherlands. The conference will be hosted by the Experimental Rock Deformation group, the Structural Geology and Electron Microscopy group and the Copernicus Institute for Sustainable Development, at the Faculty of Geosciences.
Launched in 1981, the SaltMech Conferences series serves to exchange research findings and practical experiences regarding the mechanical behavior of rock salt in the context of safe use in mining, energy storage and waste disposal. Therefore, topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Laboratory Testing
Field Investigations
Constitutive Modeling
Modeling and Simulation
Micromechanics and Microstructures
Geology of Salt Formations
Salt Caverns, Cavern Abandonment and Long-term Integrity
Geological and Geotechnical Barriers
Geological Storage of Energy (methane, compressed air, hydrogen) and Hazardous Waste
Mining
Abstract submission is now open, with the submission deadline on Friday the 6th of August 2021. Check to website for more information on future important dates and procedures, the venue, accommodation and travel. We aim to have SaltMech X as a fully on-site conference, though we will keep an eye on potential travel restrictions and may make adjustments accordingly.
We hope you will consider attending and contributing to SaltMech X!
Kind regards,
The Local Organising Committee of SaltMech X Dr. Suzanne Hangx, Dr. André Niemeijer, Dr. Matteo Gazzani, Prof. Chris Spiers, Prof. Hans de Bresser and Prof. Martyn Drur

The ALERT Workshop 2021 (31st Edition) should be held in Aussois from 27th to 29th September, 2021. Abstracts can now be submitted. Please submit your abstracts by email directly to the coordinators using the Workshop abstract form (doc). If you wish to publish your presentation after the Workshop on the ALERT website, do not forget to agree by ticking the corresponding box in the abstract form.
Since time for the presentations is limited, only a part of the submitted abstracts can be chosen for the oral presentations. Therefore, we invite you to submit your abstract as soon as possible. The presentation can also be submitted as a poster. The abstracts of the posters will be published in a separate booklet (ISSN registered).
The deadline for the abstract submission is May 17, 2021. For any communication about your participation to the workshops, please contact the coordinators of the workshop sessions directly.
Note that if the sanitary situation does not allow us to meet in Aussois at the end of September 2021, the workshop will not be postponed again but will be held online.
