A series of online lectures on rock mechanics was successfully held in Tsinghua University

From December 11 to 20, 2020, a series of lectures on rock mechanics were successfully held online by Tsinghua University. This lecture was initiated and organized by Professor Yang Qiang, the vice president of ISRM, and associate professor Zhao Zhihong from Tsinghua University. Five internationally renowned experts in the field of rock mechanics were invited to discuss the theory of rock mechanics, numerical methods and engineering applications in depth. 

Professor Chandrakant S. Desai from University of Arizona, proposed a new and unified constitutive model DSC (Disturbed State Concept). It overcomes the defect that the constitutive models of rock and soil mass are based on the assumption of continuity and cannot accurately describe the mechanical behavior of discontinuities

Professor Alexander H-D Cheng from University of Mississippi, introduced Biot's Theory of Poroelasticity, and explained its physical and mechanical properties, model equation and how to determinate the required parameters.

Professor Jean Sulem from ?cole des Ponts Paris Tech, analyzed the reason why the shear deformation of a fault outcrop that had experienced large slip displacements was confined to a very narrow slip zone. And he also presented analytical and numerical simulation results of strain localization under coupling of multiple physical fields.

Professor Charlie Chunlin Li from Norwegian University of Science and Technology, analyzed the problems of misjudgment of stability and inadequate reinforcement measures in several large engineering rock mass slope landslides in Norway. He also introduced the performance of main reinforcement devices in rock slope.

Professor Robert Zimmerman and professor Al-Ajmi from Imperial College London, proposed a new Mogi-Coulomb failure criterion. This criterion can overcome the shortcomings of the Coulomb failure criterion and the Drucker-Pragerz yield criterion, and can well match the existing laboratory test results.
