Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The occurrence of rockbursts poses a significant and growing threat to mines--and miners--throughout North America. High stress on brittle rock structures during mining operations can produce sudden, explosive reactions that result in costly mine failures, serious injury, and even death. Using a series of case studies, this essential reference documents the experiences of 15 of the most rockburst-prone mines in the US and Canada over the last century. The book provides an historical analysis of rockburst activity along with state-of-the-art strategies for anticipating and preventing this dangerous and disruptive phenomenon. This vital resource provides a primer on rockbursts, including an examination of the conditions that favor their occurrence. The text highlights practical methods to alleviate this danger, including controlling blasting times, changing mining methods, altering the extraction sequence, utilizing backfill, employing de-stress blasting, and using yielding supports. Packed with dozens of cost-saving and potentially life-saving ideas, this book is an important resource for mining engineers and operators who work in hard-rock mines.

Download or read book Role of fault slip on mechanisms of rock burst damage Lucky Friday Mine Idaho USA written by B. G. White and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various methods of monitoring slip movements on bedding planes, as well as examination of rock burst damage in stopes, suggest that many rock bursts in the Lucky Friday Mine are closely associated with these movements. Slip displacements along bedding simultaneously reduce the physical dimensions of stopes and increase compressive stress along stope margins. Such changes, in turn, contribute directly to sudden failures of rock and cemented sandfill surrounding stopes. We believe that the reduction of rock burst hazards must be based on a clear understanding of the basic mechanisms involved. The current work emphasizes the mechanical role of wall rock movement and seismicity in generating conditions that promote rock burst damage. Based on our interpretations of these mechanisms, we briefly address several hypothetical practices that could influence rock burst hazards in similar mining situations. The overall goal of this research is to advance the NIOSH mission of improving the health and safety of the nation's workers.
Download or read book Rockburst Evolutionary Process and Energy Dissipation Characteristics written by Dazhao Song and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-27 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the evolution process of rockburst based on the energy dissipation theory and proposes appropriate active prevention and control technologies. It discusses the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) generated by coal rock fractures as a measurement of the amount of dissipated energy, and the use of EMR to experimentally observe the time domain characteristics of energy dissipation during coal rock failure processes. It then proposes the concept of the rockburst activity domain system (RADS), establishes a dynamic pressure model of rockburst, and describes the energy criterion for rockburst instability. Lastly, it presents two waterjet cutting-based cases of pressure relief and rockburst prevention. The book serves as a reference resource for mine safety workers, engineering technicians, scientists, graduate students and undergraduates engaged in research on dynamic hazards such as rockburst..
Download or read book Rockburst written by Xia-Ting Feng and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rockburst: Mechanisms, Monitoring, Warning and Mitigation invites the most relevant researchers and practitioners worldwide to discuss the rock mechanics phenomenon related to increased stress and energy levels in intact rock introduced by drilling, explosion, blasting and other activities. When critical energy levels are reached, rockbursts can occur causing human and material losses in mining and tunneling environments. This book is the most comprehensive information source in English to cover rockbursts. Comprised of four main parts, the book covers in detail the theoretical concepts related to rockbursts, and introduces the current computational modeling techniques and laboratory tests available. The second part is devoted to case studies in mining (coal and metal) and tunneling environments worldwide. The third part covers the most recent advances in measurement and monitoring. Special focus is given to the interpretation of signals and reliability of systems. The following part addresses warning and risk mitigation through the proposition of a single risk assessment index and a comprehensive warning index to portray the stress status of the rock and a successful case study. The final part of the book discusses mitigation including best practices for distressing and efficiently supporting rock. Designed to provide the most comprehensive coverage, the book will provide practicing mining and tunneling engineers the theoretical background needed to better cope with the phenomenon, practical advice from case studies and practical mitigation actions and techniques. Academics in rock mechanics will appreciate this complete reference to rockburst, which features how to analyze stress signals and use computational modeling more efficiently. - Offers understanding of the fundamental theoretical concepts of rockbursts - Explores how to analyze signals from current monitoring systems - Shows how to apply mitigating techniques in current work - Identifies characteristics that should be measured in order to detect rockburst risk

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parameters related to rockbursts, specifically types of ore, mining operation, magnitude-frequency statistics, maximum magnitudes, depths, and presence of precursory phenomena, are compiled for various tectonic/geologic regions. Data from Canada, the United States, Great Britain, Sweden, West Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, South Africa, the USSR, China, Japan, and Australia are tabulated and sorted according to type of geologic conditions. Similarities and differences in source characteristics between rockbursts and natural crustal earthquakes are examined and classified. Type I rockbursts are directly related to an advancing mine face; Type II events involve induced movement along preexisting fault planes. Reliability of prediction of the maximum size of rockbursts based upon mine area, excavation rate, geology, and extent of fracturing of adjacent rock is assessed with special focus on consistency between different areas of the world. The number of Type I rockbursts is found to be a direct function of excavation rate; their locations are consistently determined by location of the mine face and by local geological structure. When Type I events results in new fracture planes, high stress drops result. It is possible that an inactive fault can be activated by the presence of a mine, resulting in Type II rockbursts. Search for reliable precursory phenomena has been unsuccessful. The upper limit for Type I events seems to be controlled by the strength of the rock, whereas the upper limit for Type II events is a completely open question at this time.
