The seismic consequences of plastic deformations during roof layer bending are discussed in the paper. The linear distribution of seismic shock epicentres and trends in the development of seismic energy and event frequency, are expected before very strong seismic events that greatly increase rock-burst risk. The proposed model of inelastic deformations allow us to correlate the seismic data and results of mining observations, such as convergence of the roof layer and the changes of wells diameter drilled in the roof layer in assessing the risk of rock-bursting. date: 2012-10 date_type: published publication: Archives of Mining Sciences volume: 57 number: 1 publisher: Drukarnia Narodowa W Krakowie id_number: doi:10.2478/v10267-012-0016-3 refereed: TRUE issn: 0860-7001 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.2478/v10267-012-0016-3 access_IS-EPOS: limited owner: Publisher citation: Marcak, Henryk (2012) Seismicity in mines due to roof layer bending.
