Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The demand for the social economy, underground mining, tunnels, pipe galleries, and civil air defense and other underground space projects has developed rapidly. However, the continuous development process of underground space engineering is often troubled by dynamic disasters, such as rock burst, collapse, water inrush, lining cracks, and so on. How to prevent and control dynamic disasters in underground space engineering is a key scientific issue to ensure the safe construction and operation of underground space engineering.

This Special Issue, titled "Monitoring, Prevention and Control of Dynamic Disasters in Underground Space Engineering", invites the submission of manuscripts covering a wide range of topics, from basic research to more applied explorations and comprehensive case studies. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

  • Monitoring technology for underground space engineering;
  • Prevention and control theories and methods for underground space engineering;
  • The impact of underground space engineering construction on the surrounding environment;
  • Case analysis of underground space disasters;
  • Safety assessment of underground space engineering;
  • Refined modeling of underground space engineering;
  • High-performance concrete materials;
  • Mechanical properties of materials.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Buildings.

Amid the ongoing global warming crisis, there has been growing interest in hydrogen energy as an environmentally friendly energy source to achieve carbon neutrality. A stable and large-scale hydrogen storage infrastructure is essential to satisfy the increasing demand for hydrogen energy. Particularly for hydrogen refueling stations located in urban areas, technological solutions are required to ensure the stability of adjacent civil structures in the event of hydrogen storage tank explosions. In this study, a numerical analysis using equivalent trinitrotoluene (TNT) and Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDP) models was employed to analyze the dynamic behavior of the ground in response to hydrogen gas explosions in shallow underground hydrogen storage facilities and to assess the stability of nearby structures against explosion effects. According to the simulation results, it was possible to ensure the structural stability of nearby buildings and tunnel structures by maintaining a minimum separation distance. In the case of nearby building structures, a distance of at least 6 to 7 m is needed to be maintained from the underground hydrogen storage facility to prevent explosion damage from a hydrogen gas explosion. For nearby tunnel structures, a distance of at least 10 m is required to ensure structural stability. Full article
