Research on Evaluation Method of Rockburst Proneness Based on Energy Principles

The study of rockburst criterion is the key to predict whether rockburst occurs or not. First of all, based on the energy principle and taking the rock strength and overall failure criterion as the benchmark, the rockburst proneness criterion of rock mass unit under compression and tension was established. The criterion took into account the integrity factors, mechanical factors, brittleness factors and energy storage factors in the process of rockburst inoculation, and three rockburst classification thresholds (2, 11 and 110) for four grades of none, weak, moderate and severe rockburst were proposed. Second, Taking the typical rockburst disaster as examples, the rationality of the existing classical rockburst criterions and the rockburst proneness criterion proposed in this paper were tested, and the results showed that this criterion had good engineering applicability. Finally, the numerical simulation analysis of rockburst disaster in 2# diversion tunnel of Jinping II hydropower station was carried out by using this criterion. The results were basically consistent with the actual situation, which verified the accuracy and effectiveness of the rockburst proneness criterion proposed in this paper. The research results can provide reference for the evaluation and prediction of rockburst disaster in deep underground engineering.
