Planning for underground spaces has become an effective way to use central areas in cities given the steady economic growth in China. The development of underground spaces in mountainous cities has satisfied the needs of the diversification of the city commercial areas and pedestrian movement. Safety issues exist because these underground spaces were originally used for civil air defense. This study was based on the underground commercial street in Chongqing, which is a typical mountainous city. Based on the results of combined fieldwork and survey, this paper summarized current safety issues, which include the not-fully-open exit, the imbalanced exit location, blocked evacuation routes, and the poor awareness of the potential safety issues. This paper proposed a framework of the safety factors for the underground space and synopsized prevention strategies that are specific to potential disasters in the underground environment. The framework comprises ensuring that the exits are fully open, the underground corridors are kept unblocked, the open space on the street is increased for disaster prevention, and equipment security is maintained and managed. At last, This paper summarized disaster prevention strategies, which include ensuring unimpeded exits, balancing the locations of the exits, avoiding blocks, increasing the disaster prevention square area in the underground space, maintaining and managing the security of the equipment.

An earthquake causes a huge loss of life and property. After an earthquake, many buildings are seriously damaged or collapsed. On the one hand, it is necessary to make full use of nanomaterials technology to improve seismic strength during reconstruction; on the other hand, scientific planning is needed to reduce pollution, carbon emissions, and energy consumption. This paper mainly studies the application of nanomaterial technology in disaster prevention and reconstruction. Through a series of planning safeguard measures, the overall seismic performance of the city is improved in order to provide theoretical guidance and technical support for disaster prevention and reconstruction. This paper mainly introduces the stress analysis of frame joints after earthquake and the planning of urban disaster prevention and reconstruction. In addition to the different types of concrete materials (ordinary concrete, nano silica fiber concrete, PVA fiber concrete), the fixed amount of water, superplasticizer, reinforcement, sand, and gravel, the concrete strength grade is C30. Then, three kinds of concrete frame joints are tested under low cycle cyclic loading to compare the seismic performance of the three kinds of concrete. The experimental results show that the fuzzy evaluation of urban disaster prevention and reconstruction planning has been carried out for 6 communities in this city. Among them, 4 communities are qualified and 2 communities are unqualified. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on seismic reinforcement or carry out urban planning research again. Compared with ordinary concrete, the bearing capacity and ductility coefficient of nano silica fiber concrete and PVA fiber concrete are increased by 37.8% and 15.6%, respectively. It is proved that the seismic performance of nano silica fiber reinforced concrete is far better than that of ordinary concrete.

Based on the requirement of earthquake resistance and disaster prevention in city’s master planning, taking the city's urban disaster prevention function and safety of residents in the great earthquake, large earthquake, middle seism into account, an idea for planning the layout of seismic disaster-prevention space treating city as an object was brought forward in this thesis. Especially, we mainly studied the restrictive conditions of the urban planning and construction from urban disaster prevention and reasonably planned urban disaster prevention security space structure and layout. Then it would certainly gain the spatial pattern of disaster-prevention and obtain the right resources of earthquake emergency relief, and ensure the safety of cities against earthquake disaster.

Underground space for disaster prevention is a key component of urban disaster prevention system. The study applied GIS technology, established an indicator system and a comprehensive assessment model for site selection of urban underground space for disaster prevention. The result of the study, which is on the basis of GIS data collection and model principle, provided quantitative foundation for disaster prevention planning of underground space, and also helped to improve planning management and decision making.
