Abstract

This is a preliminary draft of the report on the analysis of the data collected in the mine seismicity survey. One hundred and seven case histories from 73 underground, mechanised, hardrock mines has been compiled and analysed in this report. This report is written for an audience that may have limited exposure to the concepts and issues related to mine seismicity and rockbursting. Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this report are introductory to the topic of mining-induced seismicity and rockbursting. Readers familiar with mine seismicity will find the first four chapters quite basic and may elect to skim over these sections. These introductory chapters discuss the overall context of the report, and generalities related to mine seismicity, seismic hazard and rockburst damage. Chapter 5 discusses the overall survey results for the two parameters developed in the survey, the Seismic Hazard Scale (SHS) and Rockburst Damage Scale (RDS) Chapters 6 and 7 summarise minesite experience on the consequences of mine seismicity and the success that mines have had in managing mine seismicity and rockbursting. Chapter 8 compares reported mine seismicity and rockbursting to geomechanical parameters (rock strength, stress, rockmass quality, etc), mine design influences and the role of geology and mine faults. Chapter 9 discusses some of the results of the survey and data analysis. Chapter 10 is a summary of the report, re-iterating the key findings of the survey.
