Underground mining, including underground coal mining, is accompanied by accidents and
fire hazards that pose a threat to the life safety of miners. The fire hazard increases with an …

Submerged floating tunnels (SFTs) offer many advantages over bridges and immersed
tunnels, and they are regarded as the most promising form of architecture for future …

Spontaneous combustion of coal gangue dumps not only releases toxic and harmful gases,
polluting the environment, but also leads to explosion accidents and casualties due to …

Smoldering coal gangue pile fires pollute the air, soil and groundwater severely. Physical
and chemical explosions between water and fiery coal gangue may occur, resulting in a …

This paper studied the effects of ambient pressure on the plug-holing phenomenon in tunnel
fires with a shaft by a Fire Dynamics Simulator. The influence of ambient pressures on the …

Fire is one of the most common major accidents during tunnel construction and operation.
This work conducted scale-model experiments to investigate the pool burning progress and …

Purpose In the analysis of structures in a fire situation by simplified and analytical methods,
one assumption is that the fire resistance time is greater than or equal to the required fire …

The main objective of this study is to compare the results in terms of gas temperature and
structural elements temperature, using different localized fire models. In particular, with …

In order to research the residual mechanical properties of concrete shield tunnel segments
after exposure to high temperatures, two types of concrete segments were designed: a self …

The flame-to-flame interaction in a dual-pool fire scenario is a crucial issue. However,
current research on multiple fires in tunnels primarily focuses on scenarios where the fire …
