Research on Cause of Dynamic Disaster of Deep Mining Control in China and its Further Prevention Application in Ivory Coast

Today one of the world’s largest coal mining producers is China. Mining, especially coalmines had been the major sources of income to Chinese people. The mining activity offers many great opportunities to country and its population. Unlike in Ivory Coast where the active involvement of many people in artisanal mining activities in Ivory Coast is mainly due to the high rate of abject poverty and the low price of agricultural produce. With the increasing depth of mining, rock burst is on the rise. China’s deep mining industry faces such a threat. A major problem of deep mining is high ground stress, which is the major factor of rock burst. Due to the complexity of the rock burst mechanisms, complexity of induced factors as well as suddenness and randomness of rock burst occurrences, studies of rock burst prediction and control for safe mine exploitation is far from satisfying. The purpose of this paper is to examine of rock burst phenomenon in order to understand both stability in rock mechanics and the prediction of instability disasters in rock mechanics for application in the Ivory Coast mining sector with reference to the current Chinese mining industry.
