WASTE GEOTECHNICS
Design and Assessment of Mine Waste
Structures. This comprehensive short
course was comprised of five days of
40 lecture hours and three tutorials on
the design, construction, operation,
monitoring, evaluation and safety of
mining facilities. Eighty people partici-
pated in the workshop—including dam
engineers fromArgentina, Australia,
Canada, the Dominican Republic, the
United Kingdom and the United States.
Internationally recognized experts,
including Bill Chin, Richard Dawson,
Don Hayley, Scott Martens, Gord
McKenna, Norbert Morgenstern, June
Pollard, Andy Robertson, Peter Rob-
ertson, Dirk van Zyl, and Christina
Winckler, were invited to deliver pre-
sentations along with Nicholas Beier
and G. Ward Wilson at the University
of Alberta Geotechnical Centre. This
year’s short course featured a presen-
tation on the Alberta Energy Regula-
tor’s new Dam Safety Directive by
Javid Iqbal. A special industry panel,
including Norm Eenkooren, Michel
Julien, Georgia Lysay, and Scott Mar-
tens, convened to discuss and compare
leading dam safety practices from
corporate management downward.
We wish to thank all of the guest
speakers and the participants who
contributed to five days of intense
learning and challenging discussions,
demonstrating their commitment to
excellence in tailings management and
corporte governance. The University of
Alberta Geotechnical Centre is pleased
to continue offering short courses,
conferences, and other educational
outreach activities to increase profes-
sional development and networking
among students, researchers, practicing
engineers, and policymakers.

The CFEM (2006) was prepared by a
team of 17 contributors to keep abreast
of current state-of-practice and to
provide a consistent and up-to-date
cross-reference to the National Building
Code of Canada (NBCC2005) and the
Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code
(CHBDC 2000 and 2005), enabling the
user to interpret the intent and perfor-
mance requirements of these codes.
