A research program has been carried out at INERIS aiming to quantify rockburst potential at the Provence colliery. 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 rockburst sequence experienced at the Estaque-sud district of the colliery.
