In recent years, many disastrous rock and soil
failure cases have occurred in China and abroad. An
example is the Oso disaster, the deadliest single
landslide in the USA history.It occurred on March
22, 2014 and buried the community of Oso in
northwest Washington State, and killed 43 people. A
most recent case is the Shenzhen Landslide of
December 20,2015. It buried or collapsed 33 factory
buildings, and caused 58 deaths, 19 missing and 17
injured (data at 12:00, January 6, 2016). These
disasters have demonstrated many issues and problems
in conventional theories and techniques of soil
mechanics, rock mechanics, geomechanics,
geo-engineering and geo-science. Therefore, The
Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics and Engineering (CSRME)
has decided to extend the 14th Biennial National
Congress to the international geotechnical and
geoscience communities.
