john jaeger memorial
award
the award perpetuates the memory of professor john conrad jaeger who
was professor of geophysics and geochemistry at the australian national university
from 1953 until his death in 1979. professor jaeger's work of the greatest importance
related to the physics of heat flow and rock mechanics and he published several
classic books in this field. he became a fellow of the australian academy of
science in 1954 and a fellow of the royal society in 1970.
basis of the award
the award recognises contributions of the highest order
over a lifetime commitment to the geotechnical profession in australia. the
award is not restricted to members of the australian geomechanics society.
nominations
nominations should be made by at least three persons
(not necessarily members) to the secretary of the national committee of the
society following a call for submissions in australian
geomechanics. this will generally be six months prior to the anz geomechanics
conference at which the award is to be presented.
selection
the chairman of the national committee shall promulgate
a sub-committee of 3 members of the national committee to consider nominations
for the award.
presentation
the award is made approximately once every four years
and is presented at the anz geomechanics conference. at the conference, the

e.h. davis memorial
lecture
this biennial lecture commemorates the work in geomechanics
by professor edward hughson davis. professor davis was one of the pioneers of
geomechanics in australia. he perceived that progress and understanding of the
theoretical basis of geomechanics would only come if consistent, sound, but
simple models of soil behaviour were used. the two topics that were the central
focus of his research were application of the theory of elasticity to foundation
deformation and the theory of plasticity to stability. he also made a major
contribution to the theory of consolidation of clay soils. ted davis was always
extremely conscious of the link between theory and practice, the relationship
between the idealised and the real material, and the engineering significance
of his work.
basis of the award
the lecturer is a person selected by the national committee
as having made a distinguished recent contribution to the theory and practice
of geomechanics in australia.
nomination
nominations should be made through the chapter committees,
or by individuals, to the secretary of the national committee, following a call
for submissions in australian geomechanics. determination
of the award is by a subcommittee of the national committee. the nominee is
expected be a member of the australian geomechanics society.
selection
the chairman of the national committee shall promulgate
a sub-committee of 3 members of the national committee to consider nominations
for the award.
presentation
in the first instance the lecturer's presentation is
made separately to a meeting of members of sydney chapter and the victorian
chapter of the society. at one of those meetings, the award memento will be
presented by the national committee, or as otherwise arranged. the memento consists

d.h. trollope medal
the medal recognises the contribution of david hugh
trollope as one of the pioneers and leaders of australian geomechanics research
and teaching. this was initially at university of melbourne in the 1950s and
early 1960s, then at james cook university of north queensland. hugh trollope
was renowned as an eloquent, inspired and indefatigable leader of fundamental
research, especially in the application of discrete particle mechanics in geotechnical
engineering. prof trollope, like his long-term friend and adversary, professor
ted davis of university of sydney, was one of the original pioneers of australian
geomechanics teaching and research. the award may be made every two years, provided
a suitable nomination is received.
basis of the award
the trollope medal is awarded to the author of an outstanding
paper on either theoretical or applied geomechanics. the work reported in the
paper must have been undertaken in australia by an author under 35 years of
age and can have been published anywhere in the world in the previous four years.
the nominated author must have been primarily responsible for the work and would
normally be the principal author of the paper.

the nomination requires the approval of the author and should be accompanied
by two copies of the paper. the nomination is to be accompanied by a copy of
the doctoral thesis, which will be returned following the selection process.
