Mineral resources are increasing important for sustainable development in modern society. As the progressive depletion of shallow mineral deposits, deep or ultra-deep mineral extraction is an inevitable choice for mineral and energy security in various countries in the future. The trend of occurrences of geohazards including rock burst, cascading ground failure, uncontrollable underground space squeezing, coal and gas outburst, and fires, will be expected to excessively increasing as deepening the mine depth. Mining safety science and engineering challenges are drawing more and more attention over last decade and beyond. In August 2023, the 6^th International Symposium on Mine Safety Science and Engineering was held in Harbin to promote innovative development of mining safety, and foster international collaborations among scholars in the field of mining safety. It served as a platform for the exchange of the most recent advancements in mining safety scientific theories, technologies, and equipment by bringing together global talent. Over 400 attendees representing 9 countries, including Australia, Russia, United State, Kazakhstan, and Canada, engaged in academic discussions and knowledge sharing on new theories, technologies, equipment, and methods in mining safety science and engineering. The latest research results are of great significance in enhancing the practices of preventing mine disaster and ensuring the safety of mining operations.

The magnitude and frequency of induced seismicity increase as mining excavation reaches greater depth, leading to the increasingly severe damage to roadways caused by high-energy seismic waves. To comprehensively simulate the damage caused by dynamic loads, a synchrosqueezing transform and empirical mode decomposition method was developed, which effectively decomposed raw seismic wave signals into transverse and longitudinal components. This novel method produced more accurate results in terms of velocity, displacement, rock yielding patterns, and reflecting theoretically orthogonal oscillating directions of transverse and longitudinal waves compared to using raw mixed waves at the seismic source. Under the disturbance of transverse and longitudinal waves, the vertical displacement was much higher than horizontal displacement at the top position of the roadway, while the horizontal displacement was greater at the sidewalls. The particle vibration velocity, displacement and yielding zone of the surrounding rock of roadway were proportional to the energy level of seismic, while inversely proportional to the source-roadway distance. The proportion of damage attributed to transverse waves increased with the energy level, ranging from 75.8% to 85.8%. Eventually, a roadway dynamic support design was optimized based on the proposed seismic wave processing and modeling methodology. The methodology offers guidance for roadway dynamic support design, with the goal of averting excessive or insufficient support strength.
