A review of investigations on ground support requirements in coal burst-prone mines

Abstract Ground support is widely implemented to mitigate dynamic rock failures in underground mines. This paper investigated the ground requirements burst-prone mines catastrophic of and/or coal bursts. First, principles and considerations conditions are identified. The objective a system increase capacity accommodate fracturing rockburst and, turn, minimize kinetic energy ejected material. capacities various yielding rockbolts integrated systems then using test results laboratory. Apart from absorption deformation capacity, initial stiffness rate also critical factors when applying practice. Adding rope lacing mesh strap surface elements can substantially enhance performance system. In practice, semi-analytical empirical approaches often used determine areas. Semi-analytical methods first evaluate demand burst risk zones select according their laboratory results. Alternatively, locally established rating scheme, which usually ranks based on damage conditions. outcomes this study provide insights into strategies assist mining industry develop effective control technologies.
