Morphological model for underground crossings of water objects

Abstract

The construction of morphological model is considered for undesirable events regarding urban objects, as well as the consequences of such events, including interruption of operation, feasibility and time of restoration, material damage and casualties, ecological risks. Using this model, two-stage modified morphological analysis was conducted for two types of objects: pipe and tunnel depressed sewers. The results of comparison for depressed sewer crossings using the developed model are demonstrated both for the whole multitude of potential undesirable events and for the specific scenarios of sabotage, landslide, operational damage. The advantage of a tunneled depressed sewer over a pipe one is justified from the standpoint of minimization of technogenic and ecological risks of sewage draining.
