Many factors that influence rockburst damage have been identified but the mechanism that
drives rockburst is not fully understood. Weak planes such as faults and shears have been …

Coal burst has become a common safety issue in underground coal mines and its triggering
mechanism is believed to be highly associated with coal state parameters including stress …

Fault slip bursts induced by mining activities could inflict severe damage to nearby mine
developments. Considering a variety of factors that might exert an influence on the fault slip …

Induced seismicity associated with underground space creation and resource extraction has
become a matter of global concern. However, our ability to predict and mitigate …

The existence of cracks in the surrounding rock significantly affects tunnel stability under
dynamic disturbances. To study the fracture mechanism of tunnels in fractured rock masses …

During the past decade's exploitation of coal seams in Muchengjian Mine in Jingxi Coalfield,
there were nearly thirty rock burst events, which hindered the safe and efficient coal …

In this work, an extremely intense fault-slip rockburst case, with a local magnitude of 2.3,
observed in a deep tunnel in southwestern China was introduced as a case study. The …

Based on the radiated energy of 133 rock bursts monitored by a microseismic technique at
the Jinping II hydropower station, in Sichuan province, China, we analyzed the advantages …

Natural geological structures in rock (eg, joints, weakness planes, defects) play a vital role in
the stability of tunnels and underground operations during construction. We investigated the …

The presence of geological structures such as faults, joints, and dykes has been observed
near excavation boundaries in many rockburst case histories. In this paper, the role of …
