Modern cities have been trying to meet their needs for space by using not only surface structures but also by considering subsurface space use. It is also anticipated that without planning of underground spaces for supporting surface city life in the years and generations to come, there will be serious and unavoidable problems with growing populations. The current Turkish cadastral system, incl...

Abstract In this study, analysis of complicated underground structure Horemheb tomb (KV57) at Luxor, Egypt by using the software PLAXIS 3D is adopted and deformation that occurs in body after applied failure load detected; loads are obtained from series laboratory tests. Then, modelled finite element code to perform accurate three-dimensional stability complex geotechnical engineering rock mech...

During earthquakes, the most prone to damage or collapse are concrete structures. The structure's behavior during earthquakes depends mainly on its shape, size, and geometry. An attempt is made understand seismic response of Underground Rectangular Water tank structure subjected Nonlinear static loading. To predict building structures severe Pushover analysis has been frequently utilized. It ne...

Maintenance of subway tunnels and stations is one of the most difficult areas because of limited allowed inspection time and complex environment surrounding the infrastructures. Congested urban buildings and underground facilities make the construction and renovation of subway infrastructures more troublesome. In this paper, 3D information models including geometry models and their related info...

Wireless underground sensor networks (WUSNs) can enable many important applications such as intelligent agriculture, pipeline fault diagnosis, mine disaster rescue, concealed border patrol, crude oil exploration, among others. The key challenge to realize WUSNs is the wireless communication in underground environments. Most existing wireless communication systems utilize the dipole antenna to t...

The cadastral system provides land ownership information by registering and representing land boundaries on a map. The current cadastral system in Korea, however, focuses mainly on the management of 2D land-surface boundaries. It is not yet possible to provide efficient or reliable land administration, as this 2D system cannot support or manage land information on 3D properties (including archi...

Underground railway stations are known to have elevated particulate matter (PM) loads compared to ambient air. As these particles are derived from metal-rich sources and transition metals may pose a risk to health by virtue of their ability to catalyze generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), their potential enrichment in underground environments is a source of concern. Compared to coarse (...
