Construction of underground structures in urban areas

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to emphasize the significance of underground structures in urban areas by exploring specific requirements and limitations related to their planning, construction, and utilization in comparison to structures outside urban areas. The paper provides insight into various methods of constructing underground facilities through an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of individual methods. Using practical examples, it highlights potential issues that may arise during different phases of construction. Furthermore, the research focuses on identifying possible solutions to enhance safety. Some positive examples from practice are also presented in the paper.
