An Attempt to Use Machine Learning Algorithms to Estimate the Rockburst Hazard in Underground Excavations of Hard Coal Mine

Rockburst is a dynamic rock mass failure occurring during underground mining under unfavorable stress conditions. The rockburst phenomenon concerns openings in different rocks and is generally correlated with high stress in the rock mass. As a result of rockburst, underground excavations lose their...

description Rockburst is a dynamic rock mass failure occurring during underground mining under unfavorable stress conditions.
