Rockburst prevention

Rockburst prevention involves measures to reduce sudden, violent fracturing of rock in underground mines or tunnels caused by high-stress conditions. Engineers assess stress levels and reinforce the rock with supports like steel arches or mesh to absorb shock and control movement. Techniques such as controlled blasting, stress relief methods, and careful ventilation help to adjust internal pressures gradually. Monitoring instruments detect stress buildup, allowing timely intervention. Overall, these strategies aim to enhance safety by preventing sudden rock failures, protecting workers, and ensuring stable underground environments.
