Charles Fairhurst在50多年的岩石力学职业生涯里，广泛涉足采矿、核废料处理等一系列专业领域科学研究，取得骄人成果。在世界范围内，作为ITASCA发起人及工程咨询工作者，Charles专注于隧洞围岩稳定、坝体稳定、采矿工程等领域内咨询课题。

        本页面作为Charles Fairhurst院士专栏，目的在于与中国岩石力学工作者分享Charles多年来在岩石力学专业内获得的成果及其他对岩石力学发展的思考。近年来，Charles对中国岩石力学界表示极大兴趣，曾应邀访问成都勘测设计研究院、中国矿业大学（北京）、和锦屏二级深埋隧洞现场指导相关环节工作，因此，ITASCA中国公司意于将Charles的既往成果及其目前工作动态推荐给大家，希望能给我们的工作带来启示。
