The box counting method (BCM) was employed to calculate the fractal dimen-sion (FD) of AE spatial distribution. There is a similar correlation between the fractal dimension and the load strength for dfferentrock specimens. The fractal dimension presents a decreasing trend with the increase of load strength. For the same kind of specimens,their FD values will decrease to the level below a relatively same value when they reach failure. This value can be regarded as thecritical value, which implies that the specimen will reach failure soon. The results reflect that it is possible to correlate the damage ofrock with a macroscopic paramcter, the FD value of AE signals. Futhermore, the FD value can be also used to forecast the final fail-ure of rock. This conclusion alws identifying or predicting the damagc in rock with a great advantagc over the classic theory and isvery crucial for forecasting rockburst or other dynamic disasters in mines.Key words: rockburst; acoustic emision; spatial distribution; fractal dimension; critical value; damage[This work was financially supported by the Special Subject of the National High- Tech Research and Development Program ofChina (No.2007AA06Z107), Supporting Project of New Century Excellence Talents in Chinese Universities (No.NCET-07-0163),Opening Research Foundation of CAS Key Laboratony of Rock and Soil Mechanics (No.Z110607) and Youth Foundation of HenanPolytechnic University (No.Q2008-51)]1.
