Abstract

This technical report is to introduce the paper which was presented in the 2011 ISRM Congress at Beijing by Prof. Edwin T. Brown. In commemoration of the fiftieth year of the life of ISRM, the emergence of rock mechanics as a distinctive engineering and scientific discipline is described. And the state and achievements of the discipline at the time the ISRM was founded in 1962, the events leading up to the formation of the Society, the development and achievements of the Society in the 50 years since 1962, and the progress made in the discipline of rock mechanics and rock engineering since that time are also discussed.

본 기술보고서는 베이징에서 개최된 2011 국제암반역학회 학술회의에서 Brown 교수가 직접 발표한 논문을 소개한 것이다. 이는 ISRM의 창립 50주년을 기념하여 강연된 내용으로 암석역학이 독창적인 공학기술이며 과학적인 학문분야로 출현하게 된 배경을 소개하였다. 또한 1962년 ISRM이 설립될 당시의 배경과 형성과정, 학회가 50년 동안에 이룩한 성과와 업적, 그리고 암석역학 및 암반공학의 발전상을 포괄적으로 살펴보았다.
