Aim
The aim of this workshop was to provide a forum for the world's leading scientific and technical communities, to interact and address the main issues and the key challenges of the mining and civil construction industry in the beginning of the 21st century in order to reduce its environmental and health impacts, life cycle assessment, risk analysis, hazard detection and control, environmental and health consequences and liability, waste management, monitoring and projection techniques, geotechnical issues, probabilistic modelling, geoenvironmental engineering, dam and embankment design and case studies.
