Influence <strong>of</strong> Anisotropic Stress Conditions on Design <strong>of</strong> Development Workings in Bord and Pillar MiningMESSAGE3At <strong>the</strong> outset, as President <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> International Society for Rock Mechanics (India),I would like to convey my Hearty Greetings and Best Wishes for a very Healthy, Happy,Prosperous and Successful New Year – <strong>2013</strong> to all <strong>the</strong> Members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>ISRM</strong> (India)and all Subscribers/ Readers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>ISRM</strong> (India) Journal. I would also like to conveymy Greetings and High Appreciation to all <strong>the</strong> Members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Editorial Board.Rock Mechanics is <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>oretical and <strong>the</strong> applied science <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> mechanical behaviour <strong>of</strong>Rock and Rock Masses. <strong>The</strong> present state <strong>of</strong> knowledge permits only limited correlationsbetween <strong>the</strong>oretical predictions and empirical results. <strong>The</strong> most useful principles arebased upon data obtained from laboratory and in-situ measurements and prototype behaviour. RockMechanics is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> main fields <strong>of</strong> interest in Hydro Power Development, Infrastructure Development,Mining etc. Rock Mechanics is becoming increasingly important in many more branches, <strong>the</strong> most significantglobally being <strong>the</strong> disposal <strong>of</strong> hazardous radioactive waste in deeply located repositories. It is an interdisciplinaryengineering science requiring interaction between <strong>the</strong> Physics, Ma<strong>the</strong>matics, Geology, Civil,Petroleum and Mining Engineering. Collaboration among disciplines <strong>of</strong>fers <strong>the</strong> best hope for success indealing with <strong>the</strong> present and future problems related to Rock Mechanics. Our Editorial Board is designedto include researchers with inter-disciplinary expertise at International level in addition to researchers wi<strong>the</strong>xpertise in <strong>the</strong> relevant disciplines.<strong>The</strong> main aim <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Journal is to disseminate <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> techniques, new trends, experiencegained by o<strong>the</strong>rs to enable updating <strong>the</strong> knowledge <strong>of</strong> Rock Mechanics.<strong>The</strong> Journal is published Half Yearly and available in both print and online versions <strong>The</strong> First Issue <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>Half Yearly Technical Journal <strong>ISRM</strong> (India) was brought out in <strong>January</strong> 2012. <strong>The</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> contents andprinting has been very good. However, <strong>the</strong>re is always a scope to improve and excel.I would request all <strong>the</strong> readers to <strong>of</strong>fer <strong>the</strong>ir valuable comments and suggestions to enable us to improve<strong>the</strong> quality and <strong>the</strong> utility <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Journal.Dr. H R SharmaPresident, <strong>ISRM</strong> (India)&Chief Technical Principal – HydroTractebel Engineering Pvt.
