Trade Booth 2 – Australian<br />
Geomechanics Society & New<br />
Zealand Geomechanical Society<br />
The Australian Geomechanics Society was founded in 1970. Its<br />
origins lie in the National Committee of Soil Mechanics of the<br />
Institution of Engineers, Australia established in 1953 and the call for<br />
a corresponding society in rock mechanics. In 1973 the society was<br />
expanded to include the third discipline of engineering geology and<br />
has remained substantially unchanged since that date. The society is<br />
affiliated with:<br />
• the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical<br />
Engineering (ISSMGE);<br />
• the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM); and<br />
• the International Association of Engineering Geology and the<br />
Environment (IAEG).<br />
The AGS produces Australian Geomechanics newsletter and journal<br />
of the Society and specialty conferences, symposia, seminars and<br />
workshops, including the four yearly ANZ Geomechanics conference.<br />

The New Zealand Geotechnical Society (NZGS) is registered as a<br />
charitable organization and currently has about 880 members.<br />
Membership of the Society is open to engineers, geologists, scientists,<br />
technicians, contractors, students and others who are interested<br />
in the practice and application of soil mechanics, rock mechanics,<br />
engineering geology, hydrogeology, environmental geotechnics<br />
and geotechnical engineering in general. The NZGS operates as a<br />
Collaborating Technical Society within the auspices of the Institute of<br />
Professional Engineers New Zealand.<br />
The aims of the Society are to advance the study and application of<br />
soil mechanics, rock mechanics and engineering geology among<br />
engineers and scientists; to advance the practice and application of<br />
these disciplines in engineering; to implement the statutes of the<br />
respective international societies in so far as they are applicable in New<br />
Zealand; and to ensure that learning achieved through these is passed<br />
on to the public.<br />
The affairs of the NZGS are managed by a committee of 7 to 10<br />
persons, elected by members of the Society, and an appointed<br />
secretary. The NZGS also has working relationships with the Structural<br />
Engineering Society, NZ Society of Earthquake Engineering, NZ Society<br />
of Large Dams, the Institute of Civil Engineers and the Australian<br />
Geomechanics Society.<br />
