“…In parallel, the State reserved for itself preferential treatment, separating surface and subsurface rights in cases of common interest projects or underground resources' exploitation [32]. In many legal systems, underground property rights are not specified in depth, however, there are provisions on reasonable depth use restrictions for public infrastructure construction [27,33]. There are also different approaches on the three-dimensional legal status of UUS, as limitations on underground private property rights correlated to underground projects of public interest are not quite that sharp [34,35].…”

Underground development covers a wide range of underground uses, transportation and infrastructures networks; water and energy storage facilities; municipal spaces, housing, business and manufacturing facilities; and overall exploitation of Urban Underground Space (UUS). According to the Greek legal framework on properties underground, transportation networks, such as the metro, are developed deep enough that no compensation is due to surface parcel owners, which are usually a public entity. The current Greek cadastral system is two-dimensional and there are no records for underground transportation networks. As the need for the exploitation of UUS is arising, especially in densely populated Greek cities, such as Athens, the detailed documentation of transportation networks 3D underground property rights is essential. Herein is presented the technical and legal definition of the 3D underground property rights of the Piraeus Metro Station that is constructed in Piraeus Municipality UUS. Three-dimensional underground models for both Piraeus Station and official cadastral parcels are created so as to identify their 3D spatial intersection. For the identification of their legal and spatial status in 2D, the UUS was subdivided into layers in respect to the station’s vertical infrastructure and then correlated to the current cadastral 2D spatial data. The presented 3D underground property rights of Greece’s major urban underground transportation network facilitates its registration in the current 2D Greek cadastral system and contributes to the better understanding and the identification of legal and technical aspects of UUS rights in Greece.

“…The use of the subsurface as a source of resources, a storage space and for installing underground municipal or traffic infrastructure has increased both in intensity and diversity in recent years Volchko et al (2020). In addition to classical anthropogenic interventions such as mining, oil and gas production or tunnel construction, other forms of underground use have come into the focus of economic, political and scientific activities, particularly in connection with the transformation of energy systems and a global trend to urbanization McCartney et al (2016).…”

GeomInt: geomechanical integrity of host and barrier rocks–experiments, models and analysis of discontinuities

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The present paper gives an overview of the GeomInt project “Geomechanical integrity of host and barrier rocks—experiment, modelling and analysis of discontinuities” which has been conducted from 2017–2020 within the framework of the “Geo:N Geosciences for Sustainability” program. The research concept of the collaborative project is briefly introduced followed by a summary of the most important outcomes. The research concept puts geological discontinuities into the centre of investigations—as these belong to the most interesting and critical elements for any subsurface utilisation. Thus, while research questions are specific, they bear relevance to a wide range of applications. The specific research is thus integrated into a generic concept in order to make the results more generally applicable and transferable. The generic part includes a variety of conceptual approaches and their numerical realisations for describing the evolution of discontinuities in the most important types of barrier rocks. An explicit validation concept for the generic framework was developed and realised by specific “model-experiment-exercises” (MEX) which combined experiments and models in a systematic way from the very beginning. 16 MEX have been developed which cover a wide range of fundamental fracturing mechanisms, i.e. swelling/shrinkage, fluid percolation, and stress redistribution processes. The progress in model development is also demonstrated by field-scale applications, e.g. in the analysis and design of experiments in underground research laboratories in Opalinus Clay (URL Mont Terri, Switzerland) and salt rock (research mine Springen, Germany).

“…The use of underground space in buildings in congested urban areas has been increasing since there is a lack of available aboveground space [1][2][3][4] and the development of additional underground space in existing cities can provide new potential for urban development [5]. Underground structures have significant impacts on the environment [4,6] and underground space can reduce environmental contamination and improve the quality of the environment [2,7]. Regardless of stability of existing buildings, sometimes buildings have been demolished and newly constructed due to the lack of underground parking spaces or aging of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) facilities [8].…”

“…(1) practical case studies on vertical extensions of underground spaces in existing buildings [9][10][11][12], (2) development of a connection system between existing piles and new piles installed for extended underground spaces [13], and (3) development of vertical underground extension processes for existing buildings [14][15][16]. Bing [10] introduced an application case of a floating underground extension method for expanding parking lot spaces in residential buildings, where the floating extension method excavates the area underneath the existing building to extend it vertically downward without destroying the building.…”

Comparative Analysis of Economic Impacts of Sustainable Vertical Extension Methods for Existing Underground Spaces

Without demolishing an entire existing building, it is possible to sustainably expand its underground spaces to enhance the building’s functionality. However, there have been a few relevant studies exploring this option, and they did not consider the financial feasibilities of underground vertical extension methods. Therefore, this paper analyzes the economic impacts of three sustainable vertical extension methods for existing underground spaces. The extension methods were the (1) bottom-up, (2) normal top-down, and (3) top-down with multi-post downward (MPD) methods. In order to analyze and compare the economic impacts of the underground vertical extension methods, 24 illustrative examples were generated in this paper. Construction costs of the three sustainable vertical extension methods for existing underground spaces are calculated and compared. Those are based on the quantity of used materials in the construction phase and dismantled materials in the demolition phase, as well as unit costs of each material. In addition, the structural stabilities of the examples are analyzed using MIDAS Gen 2017. As the results, the top-down method with MPD was the lowest sustainable method for vertically expanding underground spaces compared to other two methods under the same condition. Moreover, the higher the number of underground floors of existing buildings and the greater the number of extended basement floors, the more economically advantageous was the top-down method with MPD. Considering their structural stabilities and economic impacts of the extension methods help practitioners to select appropriate construction techniques and reduce costs, risks, and the amount of generated construction and demolition waste.
