Study on the Advantages of the Underground Common Trench and its Development in China

Abstract:

The city underground common trench plays a more and more important role in the disaster prevention of the city lifeline engineering system, improving the resilience of the city lifeline engineerings and speeding up its recovery from disasters. In this paper, we start from the concept of the underground common trench with analysis on its inherent characteristics and the advantages in the prevention of natural disasters. According to the analysis on the development of the underground common trench in China, we try to point out the existing problems. And finally, some reasonable advice is proposed for addressing these problems.
