With this increase in depth, rocks may overstress and rock failures can occur during excavation. When competent rock strata are encountered under high stress conditions, these failures can vary from superficial spalling to explosive rockburst. Intense rockbursts may cause fatal injuries to workers and significant loss of equipment and time. The occurrence of rockbursts is always difficult to predict and special steps and measures must be taken to control them. First, burst-prone zones must be predicted by an early exhaustive geological study and by the assessment of in situ stress level and orientation. Second, basic design parameters, e.g., shape, size, and excavation method, should be modified and adapted to the expected conditions to minimize rockburst risk. Third, in situ pre-conditioning methods, e.g., destress blasting, can be applied to decrease the capacity of the rock mass to store energy. Finally, special rock support and reinforcement systems, i.e., yielding systems, must be installed after excavation to ensure total stability of the opening. This paper reviews the geological and geomechanical factors that provoke and influence rockbursts in overstressed rock masses and the engineering measures taken to control them. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1139\/cgj-2014-0359","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,21]],"date-time":"2015-04-21T21:39:45Z","timestamp":1429652385000},"page":"1426-1439","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1139\/csp-crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":257,"title":["Intense rockburst impacts in deep underground construction and their prevention"],"prefix":"10.1139","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"A.","family":"Mazaira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geonics, Institute of Clean Technologies, Academy of Science of the Czech Republic, Studentska 1768, 708 00, Ostrava-Poruba, Czech Republic."},{"name":"Institute of Geonics, Institute of Clean Technologies, Academy of Science of the Czech Republic, Studentska 1768, 708 00, Ostrava-Poruba, Czech Republic."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Konicek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geonics, Institute of Clean Technologies, Academy of Science of the Czech Republic, Studentska 1768, 708 00, Ostrava-Poruba, Czech Republic."},{"name":"Institute of Geonics, Institute of Clean Technologies, Academy of Science of the Czech Republic, Studentska 1768, 708 00, Ostrava-Poruba, Czech Republic."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"155","reference":[{"key":"refg1\/ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Amadei, B., and Stephansson, O. 1997.
