... that there is a strong need to improve knowledge with respect to the virgin stress field acting at a particular mine. Many factors affect the severity of the damage resulting from a seismic event. Those factors that appear to apply Widely in the industry include the underestimation of the unstable zone surrounding...

... of rockburst conditions ranging from minor to severe. A support system can be designed to prevent the triggering of a ground fall or a rockburst, to deform to accommodate the large imposed deformations arising from a rockburst, or to absorb the kinetic energy contained in ejected blocks of rock.
