Analysis of Fans Activating Time on Smoke Control for Road Tunnel Fire

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the development of economy, more and more road tunnels have been built. Due to the relatively isolated environment of the tunnel, fire protection is the most important factor for the safe management of tunnel operation. During the fire process, many people are killed by the fire smoke. As for preventive measures of road tunnel fire, smoke exhaust system is the most effective way to control the spread of fire smoke. Based on full size tunnel fire test and simulation analysis, this paper carries out effect analysis of fans activating time on smoke control mode for road tunnel fire. The corresponding results are useful to establish fire control strategy and personnel evacuation plan for tunnel management system.
