Rigorous understanding of tunnel fire attributes and behavior of concrete at elevated
temperatures are indispensable for conducting a numerical simulation of tunnel linings …

The current paper aims to provide a critical review of the fire-induced spalling of concrete
structures, its socio-economic and environmental impacts, and to establish a roadmap …

Fire hazards are a major threat to tunnel structures; however, the existing understanding of
the behavior of tunnel linings under fire is limited, which restricts cost-effective and safe …

There are no available guidelines or methodologies to design the concrete lining in a tunnel
for loss of functionality following a fire event. Historical tunnel fires confirm that tunnel …

Investigating fire effects is a continuing endeavour in the research and practice communities
concerned with the design and safety of shield tunnels. This paper aims to provide a …

Tunnel linings would suffer heavy structural damage or even collapse when exposed to a
long-duration fire. The damage is greatly affected by heating time. In this paper, a theoretical …

The basis of a possible fire design and verification approach to the linings of RC tunnels,
using the performance-based approach, is presented. Starting from an extensive literature …

This paper provides an overview of some significant aspects concerning the design of
concrete tunnel linings subjected to severe fire exposure. The distinguishing feature of …

This paper presents the full-scale experimental test results of actual RC (reinforced
concrete) metro shield TBM (tunnel boring machine) tunnel linings that are exposed to a …

This paper examines different modeling approaches to simulate the behavior of reinforced
concrete (RC) tunnel slabs under fire during both the heating and cooling phases. Three …
