Abstract. Rockburst is a complex mining-induced phenomenon that remains difficult to be quantified. In particular, geological conditions contributing to rockbursts are more variable than those in many conventional engineering approaches. Faults, intact rock properties, and other rock mass conditions vary, sometimes, within small distance.
