A rockburst is a sudden and violent failure of rock that can occur in underground excavations such as mines, tunnels, and caverns. It is typically caused by the release of energy that has been stored in the rock mass due to geological or mining-induced stresses.
Rockbursts can be very dangerous, causing serious injury or death to workers and damage to equipment and infrastructure. They can also disrupt mining operations and lead to significant financial losses.
To mitigate the risk of rockbursts, engineers and mining professionals use a variety of techniques, including rock reinforcement, rock support, and ground control measures. These measures aim to reduce the stresses in the rock mass and to provide a safe and stable working environment for miners.
