This study explores rockburst challenges in deep mining, examining factors causing rockbursts and assessing rockburst risks using bow-tie analysis. It presents various rockburst risk control and mitigation methods, including strategic engineering (mine design, mining sequencing), tactical measures (ground pre-conditioning, rock support), and administrative controls (evacuation protocols, mechanized equipment). The paper advocates a multiple-line defense system to manage uncertainties and highlights emerging technologies and future challenges, serving as a key resource for professionals in the mining industry.
