Principles of rock support in burst-prone ground

Rock support in burst-prone ground requires a good understanding of rock mass behavior under high stress conditions and the behavior and functionality of each rock support element as well as the behavior of the rock support system. Seven principles which can lead to making the right judgment and decision with regards to rock support design in burst-prone ground are presented in this paper. A good understanding of these principles helps ground control engineers to master the art of rock support in burst-probe grounds so as to develop useful methodology for design.
