Zapadlisko is Polish for "sinkhole" or "subsidence zone." This desktop application visualises mining-induced ground subsidence — the process by which underground excavation causes the overlying rock and soil layers to deform and sink over time.
You provide a data file describing the geometry and mechanical properties of each rock layer above a mine. The tool generates detailed cross-section diagrams showing how those layers deform, where fracture zones appear, and how the surface subsidence bowl develops.
Mining engineers, geology students, and researchers who need to quickly visualise subsidence calculations without expensive specialist software. The input format is straightforward — a plain text file with layer parameters — making it easy to script batch analysis.
