The purpose of ground support is to safely maintain excavations for their expected lifespan. The effectiveness of ground support can be seen both in terms of personnel and equipment safety, and in terms of allowing the most economic extraction. Scientists, practitioners and technology developers have contributed to this volume, which covers rock mass characterisation, open pit mining and tunnelling. The methods described include modelling and dynamic testing, while international case studies provide ample illustration of both failures and triumphs in ground support.

The Fifth International Symposium on Ground Support in Mining and Underground
Construction was held by the Australian Centre for Geomechanics and the Western
Australian School of Mines, at Perth, Australia from September 28 to 30, 2004. The
Symposium follows on from international symposia held at Lulea, Sweden, 1983,
Sudbury Canada, 1992, Lillehamer, Norway, 1997 and Kalgoorlie, Australia, 1999. The
objective of the Symposium was to exchange experiences, knowledge and lessons learnt
in ground support with special attention being given to mining applications and
underground construction.
The Symposium dealt with twelve main themes:
1. Case studies;
2. Rock mass characterization;
3. Modelling;
4. In situ and laboratory testing;
5. Open pit;
6. Dynamic testing;
7. Rockfalls and failure and mechanisms;
8. Civil engineering and tunnelling;
9. Design;
10. Corrosion;
11. Surface support;
12. Other support.
A total of sixty one papers have been published in these proceedings. In addition, two
Keynote Addresses were also published.
Keynote Lectures
E.T.Brown, Australia: The dynamic environment of ground support and reinforcement;
C.R.Windsor, Australia: A review of long, high capacity reinforcing elements in rock
engineering practice.
The organizing committee wishes to thank all the supporting organizations and the
authors for their valuable contributions. Ground support remains essential to sustain and
progress prosperous mining and civil engineering industries.
