Various geological processes such as tectonic activities develop fractures and discontinuities in the rock mass body; these, in turn, form blocks with different shapes and sizes in the rock mass body. Accurate understanding of these blocks' geometry is essential in different domains of rock and mine engineering such as determination of yield in quarries, optimization of fragmentation energy, th...

Interest in underground space development is increasing owing to overcrowding urban areas, and this trend expected continue the future. Therefore, there exists a need systematically establish manage information on spaces. This includes both physical status, that indicates location or shape of space, status property rights related ownership use space. In study, technique register an entire shopp...

The article explores modern approaches to urban environment improvement, reconstruction ofSt. Petersburg embankments in the historic center, management of pedestrian and public spaces. concept creating multifunctional underground subaqueous thruways close historical development St. has maximum potential. gives several embankment spaces from domestic foreign experience analyzes some transport pr...

This study utilizes the enclosed and stable environment of underground space for long-term sustainable planning urban epidemics disasters. Owing to COVID-19 epidemic, cities require epidemic–disaster management. Therefore, this proposed a strategy integrating multiple functions plan comprehensive Underground Resilience Core (URC). A assessment methods URC were proposed. With methodology, epidem...

water inflow is one of the most important challenges in the underground excavations. in addition to inducing working conditions and environmental problems, it decreases the stability and quality of the surrounding rocks. the direct method of measuring rock mass hydraulic conductivity consists of drilling the boreholes and observing the rate of fluid lost in the boreholes. applying this method i...

This paper reports "work in progress" on a project which I've titled, "The Spaces of Transnational Cultures". The aim of the project is to build on, but be methodologically different from, my earlier research on the architecture and urbanism of colonial and postcolonial cities in which the principal objective had been to demonstrate the inherently constitutive relationship between the political...
