What is rock burst

Rock burst means井巷或工作面周围岩体,由于弹性变形能的瞬时释放而产生突然剧烈破坏的动力现象**,常伴有煤岩体抛出、巨响及气浪等现象。**

If the superimposed sum of the static load in the coal and rock mass and the dynamic load formed by the mine earthquake is greater than the minimum load inducing the impact of the coal and rock mass, an impact disaster will be induced.

main features

1. Sudden. There are generally no obvious precursors before the occurrence. A considerable number of rock bursts are caused by blasting, roof pressure, etc., but many of them occur during periods when there is no human activity. It is usually accompanied by strong vibration and sound, and sometimes the earthquake is still felt within a range of several kilometers on the ground. The impact process is short and lasts for a few seconds to tens of seconds.

2. It is generally manifested as coal explosion (coal wall bursting, small projectile). Shallow impact (occurs within the range of 2m to 6m of the coal wall and is highly destructive) and deep impact (occurs deep in the coal body, with sound like muffled thunder, and the degree of damage is different). The most common is coal seam impact, as well as roof impact and floor impact. Rock bursts occurred in a few mines. During coal seam impact, most of them are thrown out of coal, and a few are tens of square meters of coal moving as a whole, accompanied by loud sounds, rock vibration and shock waves.

3. Destructive. It often causes coal walls to fall, roof subsidence, floor heave, broken supports, blocked roadway, and casualties.

4. It is complex. In terms of natural geological conditions, the mining depth of all coal types except lignite ranges from 200m to 1000m, the geological structure ranges from simple to complex, the thickness of the coal seam ranges from thin to extremely thick, and the inclination angle ranges from horizontal to steep. The roof includes sandstone, limestone, kerogen shale, etc., and rock burst has occurred; In terms of technical conditions such as coal mining methods and coal mining processes, whether water mining, blasting mining, general mining or fully mechanized mining, the goaf treatment adopts the full collapse method or the hydraulic filling method. Rock burst has occurred in longwall, shortwall, room-pillar mining or column mining. However, longwall mining without coal pillars has fewer impact times.

What are the hazards?

1. Seriously damage the roadway, instantly shrink the roadway section, damage the support, and close the roadway in serious cases.

2. Damage to the equipment, causing the equipment to overturn, shift, damage and deform at the moment of impact.

3. Destroy the ventilation facilities. The powerful shock wave destroys the air doors and air ducts on the excavation face.

4. Casualties were caused, and most of the people were injured by impacts, shock waves, etc.

5. Rock burst in coal mines is not only harmful and has a wide impact, but is also the source of major accidents in other coal mines. When rock burst occurs, it may also induce abnormal gas gushing, coal and gas outburst, water burst, gas explosion and other disasters, causing more serious consequences.

how to prevent

Prevention measures for rock burst accidents mainly include:Comprehensive measures for impact risk prediction, detection and early warning, prevention and control, effect testing and safety protection.
