Preface

Fire safety engineering in tunnels is essential in order to obtain good safety for tunnel users. The knowledge about fire safety in tunnels has increased over the past few decades due to both new research and analysis of real accidents. The aim of this book is to give researchers, engineers, and authorities worldwide a good insight into the fire phenomena in tunnels and the physics behind it. Guidance in calculation of important parameters such as heat release rates, critical velocity, spread of smoke gases and heat, temperatures, heat fluxes, fire spread, and flame lengths is given as well as the theories behind th
