Abstract:The underground space resources under urban roads are an important part of urban underground space resources with the higher utilization, which bears many functions of underground infrastructure. At present, due to the large differences in the type, depth and scale of the development and utilization of underground space under the urban road, there are certain deficiencies in the integrity, coordination and forward-looking aspects of the development and utilization of underground space under the current principle. Therefore, it is necessary to master the capacity of the underground space under the road and the basic information of utilization used and available so as to provide a basis for the scientific planning and utilization of the underground space under the road in the future. In order to facilitate the calculation of underground space capacity in any section of the road, a calculation method of underground space capacity under the road within a certain length range is proposed. Based on the demand of underground space security, it is proposed that the actual utilization area of the underground space under the road should be the sum of the effective utilization area and the security guarantee area. For the existing underground space with irregular shape, the actual utilization area of the existing underground space should be corrected. The utilization rate of underground space at the different depth positions under the road is further revealed. The calculation method of the utilization rate of underground space in layers under the road is proposed. And the calculation of the utilization rate of underground space under the road at any longitudinal position along the road and in layers is realized.
