Specialty Definition: FLOOR BURST

DomainDefinition

Mining

A type of outburst generally occurring in longwall faces and preceded by heavy weighting due to floor lift. Gas that evolved below the seam seems to collect beneath an impervious layer of rock, and a gas blister forms beneath the face, giving the observed floor lift. Later, the floor fractures and the combustible gases escape into the mine atmosphere.See also:outburst. (references)
