About this book
Subsurface Space, Volume 1: Environmental Protection, Low Cost Storage, Energy Savings covers the proceedings of the International Symposium (Rockstore '80), held in Stockholm, Sweden on June 23-27, 1980. The book focuses on the potential of subsurface space as a resource. The selection first elaborates on the future growth of large cities as related to the potential of subsurface use, underground transport in urban areas, underground systems for public utilities, and multiple use of civil defense installations. The book then explores warehousing concepts, underground storage of oil and gas products, obstacles to subsurface storage of oil, and possibilities for archives and other safe storage underground. The manuscript examines environmental and other insurance aspects of underground storage projects; grouting of tunnels in order to avoid detrimental groundwater lowering; engineering geological problems of cellars and caverns under historical centers of towns; and growth and planning of the use of subsurface space under London, England. The book also takes a look at the microfractographic study of heated and non-heated stripa granite; international investigations of geologic media for the disposal of radioactive wastes; and assessment of the future evolution of geologic systems intended for the development of a nuclear waste repository. The selection is a valuable reference for scientists and researchers wanting to explore the potential of subsurface space.
