This paper studies rock mass response on the surface to mining induced seismic event depending on local geological conditions. Engineering experience and experimental seismological measurements support that local geological conditions can to a certain extent modify responses of the rock mass surface and structures. The paper presents some results of numerical analysis, which were realized using a dynamic module of the software system Plaxis 2D. The results attest to amplifying effects of the soft sedimentary strata that lie in the building foundations as regards deformation responses of the rock mass surface.
