International Society for Rock Mechanics

The International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) is a global organization that focuses on the study and application of rock mechanics, which is the science of understanding how rocks behave under various conditions. Its members include engineers, geologists, and researchers who work on projects related to construction, mining, and natural resource extraction. The ISRM promotes knowledge sharing through conferences, publications, and technical guidelines, aiming to improve safety and efficiency in industries that rely on rock stability. By fostering collaboration and innovation, the society helps address challenges in managing the Earth’s resources sustainably.
