description The technical challenges associated with deep underground space activities have become increasingly significant. Among these challenges, one major concern is the assessment of rockburst risks and the instability of rock masses. Extensive research has been conducted by numerous scholars to mitigate the risks and prevent occurrences of rockburst through various assessment methods. Rockburst incidents commonly occur during the excavation of hard rock in underground environments, posing severe threats to personnel safety, equipment integrity, and operational continuity. Thus, it is crucial to systematically document real cases of rockburst, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms and triggering conditions. This understanding will contribute to the advancement of rockburst prediction and prevention methods. Proper selection of an appropriate rockburst assessment method is a fundamental aspect in underground operations. However, there is a limited number of studies that summarize and compare different prediction and prevention methods of rockburst. This paper aims to address this gap by analyzing global trends using CiteSpace software since 1990. It discusses rockburst classification and characteristics, comprehensively reviews research findings related to rockburst prediction, including empirical, simulation, mathematical modeling, and microseismic monitoring methods. Additionally, the paper presents a compilation of current rockburst prevention measures. Notably, the paper emphasizes the significance of control strategies, which provide key insights into the effective utilization of stored energy within rock. Finally, the paper concludes by suggesting six directions for implementing intelligent management techniques to mitigate hazards during underground operations and reduce the probability of rockburst incidents.
