Source Location of Rock Burst in the Mines of Kolar Gold Fields
Malliga.S
Abstract: The rock burst problem is very common in the mining environment and it posses severe danger, especially when the mining operation reaches a greater depth like the mines of Kolar Gold Fields, South African Gold Mines and other mines all over the world. The rock bursts are continuing even after the closure of mines. These rock bursts are being recorded at present using single station recorder (Strong Motion Accellerograph) to compute the epicenters. The source location rock burst is achieved to meet the objective of the present work. On the other hand, multi channel (network) systems provide the capability to locate the source of individual event precisely and thus the problem area can be delineated for safety and stability purposes.
