Abstract

The early warning of rock mass failure in deep hard-rock mines presents a significant challenge for mine safety management. Microseismic monitoring data offer a novel analytical approach to address this issue. This study investigates the evolutionary patterns of rock mass failure in mining areas through the analysis of spatiotemporal energy data from microseismic events. Initially, key spatiotemporal energy parameters are extracted to identify microseismic events associated with localized damage and their periodic characteristics. Subsequently, a spatiotemporal fractal dimension analysis method is established to achieve fractal interpretation of the data by integrating field cloud maps. Finally, an early warning model centered on temporal energy is constructed, which delineates warning zones through a comprehensive evaluation of fractal dimensions, thereby providing decision-making support for mine safety.
