ICADD-10, December 2011, Hawaii

10th International Conference on Analysis of Discontinous Deformation is co-organized by EPFL-LMR. Welcome to Visit www.icadd10.org for details.

The Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA) method has been making progress as a powerful numerical method in rock mechanics and engineering for the last two decades, particularly in dealing with and understanding the behaviour of discontinuous rock masses at engineering scale.
Since the first conference in 1995, ICADD has had 9 meetings and the last one ICADD-9 in Singapore received overwhelming response. The ICADD series will have its 10th meeting (ICADD-10) in 2011. As the previous meetings, ICADD-10 aims to exchange ideas and new developments in various discontinuous analysis methods, and to promote the application of the developed numerical methods in rock engineering. In addition, immersed with new modelling methods and techniques, ICADD-10 will also be a milestone event to look back on the past progress and look forward to the future development of discontinuous deformation analysis and other discontinuous methods.
We would like to invited colleagues in the numerical modelling and rock mechanics community to join this event to celebrate and to anticipate the progress of discontinuous numerical methods.
