Abstract：Forecast and prevention methods were studied for rockburst in haulage-dip at Coal Mine No.12，Pingdingshan Coal Group of China. This haulage-dip belongs to a deep roadway with the complex geological conditions，and the tectonic stresses are very high. The surrounding rock of the haulage-dip is a typical brittle rock with high strength and is a middle burst-prone mine. The in-situ monitoring results for rockburst with electromagnetic emission method(EEM) were basically consistent with practical situation. The critical value of EEM was 30 mV and the critical value of pulse count was 400 000. When the magnitude of EEM in the roadway area exceeded the critical value，the rockburst occured in this danger area of haulage-dip. After the shallow blasting measures were taken；the pressure over roadway roof was released，and the magnitude of EEM obviously decreased. The intensity and frequency of rockburst were also reduced. Therefore，rockburst can be effectively prevented. Short-range excavation，bolt supporting with shotcrete in-time and hanging steel net during roadway excavation can reduce or lessen the hazard of rock burst.
