AB - Rock bursts remain an important problem in longwall coalmining. These bursts are due to a sudden and severe failure of rocksfrom a high stress concentration in deep underground excavationsthat occur with the instantaneous release of strain energy storedin the rocks. They can potentially cause irrecoverable damage toequipment and personnel, thus accurate rock burst prediction andcontrol is expected to be carried out by the mine design engineer.As a result, this can constitute major challenges for said engineer.In this paper, forensic engineering has been used to evaluatethe possibility and extent of rock bursts in deep coal mining.For this purpose, established mining engineering principles,including factors influencing the severity of rock bursts, have beenincorporated in the forensic engineering technique. The analysestook place in five steps:• Assessment of regional and local conditions prior to the event• Assessment of conditions after the event• Hypothesize plausible ways in which pre-event conditions canbecome post-event ones• Search for evidence that either denies or supportsvarious hypotheses• Apply engineering knowledge to relate the various factsand evidence into a cohesive scenario of how the event mayhave occurred.The paper concludes by demonstrating a method for predictingrock bursts and preventing their re-occurrence. The methodologyused in this paper, together with the results obtained, can serveas useful tools for the coal mine design engineer in the primaryevaluation of rock burst potential in underground coal mines.
