Robotic systems exhibit remarkable capability for exploring and mapping subterranean voids. Information about subterranean spaces has immense value for civil, security, and commercial applications where problems, such as encroachment, collapse, flooding and subsidence can occur. Contemporary method for underground mapping, such as human surveys and geophysical techniques, can provide estimates ...

The design of underground spaces is mainly carried out using empirical, analytical, and numerical methods. The convergence confinement method (CCM) is an analytical technique that is widely utilized in analyzing the stability of underground spaces. However, the main challenge in the stability analysis is the selection of an accurate constitutive model for rock mass, and particularly, its post-f...

Spaces of transit and transportation are often thought as one-dimensional defined by their functionality rationality, but recent literary texts challenge such preconceptions representing those spaces multidimensional meaningful. In this article, we examine literature through the lens place making, seeking to understand in what ways representations involved renegotiations space. Addressing two g...

The generation of heat in underground spaces due to working activities is a factor that influences production and productivity rates. This paper analyses the heat generation in an underground mine and provides a number of approaches to enhance the ventilation conditions using electrical, instead of diesel machines. This assessment has been carried out using theoretical equations and modelling s...

Because of rapid urbanization, traffic problems, and other factors, underground spaces have been used more in the twenty-first century. Large are required for city, metro, tunnel, mine, industrial agricultural engineering, civil air defense engineering. Underground with varying thermal, ventilation, lighting environments can face problems comfort, health, safety. High temperatures, high humidit...

Creativity is a major driving force in modern economies, on a global scale, but also on a local scale. In other words, cities may benefit from a highly creative environment in order to foster their development. The aim of this contribution is to depict and examine the dynamics of situated creativity by presenting an anatomy of the creative city based on three different layers, namely the underg...

Exploring new techniques of targeted advertising across public spaces has attracted considerable attention. This research demonstrates a novel way of identifying suitable location and time for targeted advertising using geo-social media, by using London Underground stations as case study. The number of target users are estimated by integrating the passenger counts data and topic of interests fr...
