The　prediction　of　rockbursts　during　the　construction　of　underground　caverns　is　of　great　significance　to　ensure　the　safety　of　construction　workers　and　to　arrange　the　construction　progress　rationally.　In　this　paper,　a　rockburst　prediction　method　combining　rock　mass　structure　analysis　and　electromagnetic　emission　monitoring　is　proposed.　In　the　process　of　implementation,　the　possibility　of　rockburst　is　preliminarily　judged　by　the　observation　of　the　excavation　face　and　its　nearby　rock　mass　structure,　the　potential　rockburst　area　is　then　monitored　by　using　portable　electromagnetic　emission　meter,　and　finally　the　possibility　and　intensity　of　rockburst　can　be　further　predicted　based　on　the　changes　of　the　electromagnetic　emission　energy　and　pulse.　The　developed　method,　comprehensively　considering　the　rock　mass　structure　conditions　of　rockburst　occurrence　as　well　as　the　energy　conversion　and　rock　micro-fracture　frequency　during　the　process　of　rockburst,　is　easy　to　be　mastered　and　applied　by　field　technicians,　and　has　proved　to　feasible　for　rockburst　prediction　during　the　construction　of　underground　caverns.　Taking　the　Central　Asia＇s　longest　tunnel-Uzbekistan　Kamchik　tunnel　as　an　example,　the　rockburst　prediction　method,　including　rock　mass　structural　conditions　of　rockburst,　key　monitoring　positions　and　method　of　electromagnetic　emission,　the　electromagnetic　emission　interpretation　indexes　and　reference　value　of　rockburst,　is　systematically　introduced.　©　2020,　Science　Press.　All　right　reserved.
