Mechanism and monitoring and early warning technology for rockburst in coal mines

On the basis of the massive amount of published literature and the long-term practice of our research group in the field of prevention and control of rockburst, the research progress and shortcomings in understanding the rockburst phenomenon have been comprehensively investigated. This study focuses on the occurrence mechanism and monitoring and early warning technology for rockburst in coal mines. Results showed that the prevention and control of rockburst had made significant progress. However, with the increasing mining depth, several unresolved concerns remain challenging. From the in-depth research and analysis, it can be inferred that rockburst disasters involve three main problems, i.e., the induction factors are complicated, the mechanism is still unclear, and the accuracy of the monitoring equipment and multi-source stereo monitoring technology is insufficient. The monitoring and warning standards of rockburst need to be further clarified and improved. Combined with the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and big data, a study of the trend of rockburst needs to be conducted. Furthermore, the mechanism of multiphase and multi-field coupling induced by rockburst on a large scale needs to be explored. A multisystem and multiparameter integrated monitoring and early warning system and remote monitoring cloud platform for rockburst should be explored and developed. High-reliability sensing technology and equipment and perfect monitoring and early warning standards are considered to be the development direction of rockburst in the future. This research will help experts and technicians adopt effective measures for controlling rockburst disasters.

Automated summary

The study highlights significant progress in the prevention and control of rockburst, but also identifies challenges with increasing mining depth. Improved monitoring and warning standards are needed, particularly in relation to complex induction factors and unclear mechanisms. Further research is recommended to explore the trend of rockburst and develop high-reliability sensing technology and equipment for future development.
