Title:

Fatigue in Carboniferous Rocks –Application to Rock Burst

Abstract:

The insight gained through laboratory studies conducted on rock burst prone rocks obtained from the Ostrava-Karvina Coalfield in the Czech Republic - provided major contributions into understanding how dynamic cyclic loading, in terms of loading frequency and amplitude, resulted in the degradation of material strength leading to the failure. The correlation of these findings to the in situ observations will allow for the improved assessment of damage and excavation stability in rock burst prone rocks. The findings from this work can be utilised in the area of prognosis and preventive measures to prevent rock burst hazards in coalmines.

Biography:
