In order to investigate the ground pressure disasters in deep hard-rock mines, field investigation and theoretical analysis were carried out in a deep hard-rock mine. It is found that the degree and number of ground pressure disasters in the mine have increased significantly with depth. When the maximum tangential stress between 0.4-0.6 times the uniaxial compressive strength of surrounding rock, surrounding rock is prone to local spalling. When maximum tangential stress is greater than 0.6 times uniaxial compressive strength, serious failure is easy to occur, such as rockbursts and large-area collapses. After excavation, the rebound strain and displacement of surrounding rock increases linearly with buried depth, and the strain energy released of surrounding rock increases rapidly with the second power of buried depth. The rapidly increasing strain energy is main reason why deep ground pressure disasters in the mine are becoming more and more serious. In terms of surrounding rock support, energy-absorbing materials such as energy-absorbing bolts can well absorb strain energy released by surrounding rock. The energy-absorbing bolts are used for design of roadway support in the mine.
