Wybrane problemy eksploatacji infrastruktury podziemnej miast

Unsatisfactory condition of a large part of the urban underground infrastructure and construction of buildings, especially those with deep foundations, requires close cooperation of the installation industry, constructors and geotechnical engineers in the project preparation. The safety of buildings largely depends on the technical condition of the adjacent infrastructure. As the situations described in this article show, there is a need to consider the relationships between the underground urban infrastructure and the nearby buildings. Failures or emergencies in the underground infrastructure may deteriorate the technical condition and, in some specific cases, lead to a collapse of buildings or their parts. The emergency events may take place during the execution or operation, affecting both the underground systems and building structures.
