Beskrivning

Underground Space Development: Engineering, Construction, and Management Principles and Practices provides an integrated, practice-oriented framework for developing underground infrastructure from initial planning and ground investigation through design, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation. It connects engineering geology, soil and rock mechanics, hydrogeology, structural analysis, excavation, ground support, linings, waterproofing, and drainage with project delivery, construction management, risk governance, fire and life safety, environmental performance, and life-cycle asset management.

The book covers tunnels, shafts, caverns, metro systems, utility corridors, storage facilities, and multiuse underground spaces. Dedicated chapters examine numerical modeling, BIM, GIS, digital twins, IoT, sensing, data analytics, automation, and artificial intelligence, together with subsurface rights, regulatory compliance, cost estimation, financing, stakeholder engagement, social value, and cultural heritage. International case studies identify transferable lessons from successful projects, failures, and challenging geological and urban settings.

Written for advanced students, researchers, consulting engineers, contractors, asset owners, planners, regulators, and decision-makers, the book supports technically sound, safe, resilient, low-carbon, and economically responsible underground development.

Covers the complete project life cycle, from planning and site investigation to operation, maintenance, rehabilitation, and renewal
Integrates geotechnical, structural, construction, managerial, environmental, economic, legal, and social perspectives within one coherent framework
Explains practical applications of numerical modeling, BIM, GIS, digital twins, IoT, sensing, data analytics, automation, and AI
Uses international case studies to connect methods and standards with risk management, resilience, sustainability, and long-term value

Mer om författaren

Dr. Ali Akbar Firoozi received a PhD in Civil and Structural Engineering from the National University of Malaysia in 2016. He is currently a Senior Lecturer at the University of Botswana, where he teaches soil mechanics, geomechanics, geotechnics, pavement and road design, and construction materials. He has also accrued experience in industry as project manager and designer. His research interests focus on the nexus between advanced nanotechnology and civil engineering, particularly on the use of nanomaterials for soil stabilization and other environmentally sustainable improvements.Dr. Ali Asghar Firoozi received a PhD in Geotechnical Engineering from the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in 2016 and completed a Postdoc fellowship at the University of Shiraz, Iran, in 2020. His research focuses on nanotechnology for the stabilization of cementation materials for next-gen civil engineering projects, design of industrial structures, equipment foundations, and road and pavement design. He has developed expertise in x-ray diffraction, x-ray fluorescence, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and energy dispersive x-ray analysis. He’s also actively involved in developing geotechnical software, including a comprehensive suite of programs for various projects, from tunnels to concrete and asphalt testing.
