The process whereby a brittle fault was activated by mining is not only significant for disaster prediction, but also for earthquake prediction. Thus, it was necessary to study their activation process. In this study, stress state, AE (acoustic emission)/MS (microseismic) activities during brittle fault activation, stages of brittle fault activation, and the relation between AE/MS activities and brittle fault parameters were analysed and it was feasible to identify buried brittle faults, determine their parameters and activation process based on MS monitoring. The No. 22517 working face in the Dongjiahe Coalmine was taken as an example. Firstly, a buried brittle fault was identified in No. 22517 working face by the MS monitoring method. Secondly, the buried brittle fault parameters were determined. Its azimuth angle was 307.5° in the orbital roadway and 357.5° on the haulage roadway. Its dip angle was 73° and it was a reverse fault …
