Evaluation of the risk of rock-bursts in mines: Phase 3. Production of a technical guide for the application of the method Abstract Rock-bursts are sudden and violent ruptures of the bedrock responsible for serious injuries in underground mines. In 1988, the researchers conducting this study developed a simple method which grounds engineers in Quebec could use to estimate the risk of rock-bursts in underground mines. The final phase of the research, reported here, produced a detailed guide to the use of the estimation method in a variety of situations typically encountered in Quebec mines. The guide includes two retrospective analyses of rock-bursts and an estimation of the risk of rock-bursts for a geometrically complex structure.
