Abstract

A quantitative assessment of rockburst damage is crucial for geotechnical risk management in seismically active mines. Although, considerable studies have been conducted to predict rockburst damage potential, rockburst still poses serious threats to underground mine operation. This paper proposes a dimensionless index to quantify the rockburst damage hazard. Rockburst event data collected from seismically active mines were used for the study. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach was employed to quantify the importance (weights) of the rockburst hazard influencing variables. The results indicated that the proposed index correlates quite well with the actual rockburst damage scales. It was concluded that it could be used as a supplement prediction tool to assess rockburst damage hazard in seismically active mines.
