<p>Within the project entitled &ldquo;Models of formation and spread of fire to increase safety of road tunnels&rdquo;, it was necessary to devise a method how to record airflow velocity during the fire in situ tests in road tunnels. Project is in first year ...

<p>Tunnels, constructions used to shorten transport routes and to improve road safety, are specific engineering structures where the safe operation is very important. Tunnel Traffic &amp; Operation Simulator (Simulator) was created as a solution of research ...

<p>Based on CFD method, this paper conducted simulation analysis of lorry and car fires for large cross-section road tunnel. The smoke distribution feature was discussed and the corresponding results of critical ventilation velocity were also compared with ...

<p>The increased use of underground space for transportation systems and the increasing complexity and constraints of constructing and maintaining above ground transportation infrastructure have prompted the need to develop this technical manual. This FHWA ...

The purpose of this manual is to provide highway and rail transit tunnel owners guidance for establishing procedures and practices for the inspection, documentation, and priority classification of deficiencies for various elements that comprise an existing ...

The focus has been on the development of a predictive tool for assessing the probable damage to buildings
