SHEAR BURSTS

Domain	Definition
Mining	In deep mining fields, shear bursts are the most common type. By the occurrence of a single shear crack parallel to the face in one of the walls, the wall rock behind the shear plane is able to expand freely into the stope, heavily compressing those supports that until then have not taken stress, throwing still more stress on those that have, and causing the wall rock between the nearest supports and the face to disrupt and fill the place with debris. Shear bursts frequently occur at the working face of a pillar, remnant, or promontory. In such cases, they should notbe mistaken for true pillar bursts. (references)
