A research program has been carried out at INERIS aiming to quantify rockburst potential from mining-induced fault-slip. As a part of the research, numerical modeling of fractured rock mass has been undertaken, using the three-dimensional distinct element code 3DEC. Results presented in this paper demonstrate a very good agreement between calculated deformations of modeled faults and the experienced rockburst sequence of the Estaque-sud district of the colliery
