In the past two decades, the interest in fire safety science of tunnels has significantly
increased, mainly due to the rapidly increasing number of tunnels built and the catastrophic …

This paper reviews the fire problem in critical transportation infrastructures such as bridges
and tunnels. The magnitude of the fire problem is illustrated, and the recent increase in fire …

" Drysdale's book is by far the most comprehensive-everyone in the office has a copy... now
including me. It holds just about everything you need to know about fire science."(Review of …

The extreme temperature induced by fire and hot toxic smokes in tunnels threaten the
trapped personnel and firefighters. To alleviate the potential casualties, fast while …

Tunnel fire is one of the most severe global fire hazards and causes a significant amount of
economic losses and casualties every year. Over the last 50 years, numerous full-scale and …

The back-layering length and critical longitudinal ventilation velocity in tunnel fires will be
studied in this paper. A semi-empirical model was formulated and compared with former …

A virtual reality (VR) experiment with 96 participants was carried out to provide
recommendations on the design of flashing lights at emergency exit portals for road tunnel …

A series of burning experiments were conducted in a model-scale mechanical ventilation
tunnel to study the characteristics of smoke layer thickness and plug-holing with multiple …

According to The Handbook of Tunnel Fire Safety, over 90%(55 out of 61 cases) of fires in
road tunnels are caused by vehicle crashes (especially rear-end crashes). It is thus …

This paper provides a" state-of-the-art" review of research into the effects of high
temperature on concrete and concrete structures, extending to a range of forms of …
