A Study of Fire Durability for a Road Tunnel: Comparing CFD and Simple Analytical Models (2007)
Reszka, Pedro, Steinhaus, Thomas, Biteau, Hubert, Carvel, Ricky O, Rein, Guillermo, Torero, Jose L
The durability of various typical tunnel sections in the event of a prescribed 100 MW fire has been assessed. Cast-iron sections, pre-cast concrete sections and in-situ concrete cut and cover...
The behaviour of concrete structures in fire (2007)
Fletcher, Ian A, Welch, Stephen, Torero, Jose L, Carvel, Ricky O, Usmani, Asif
The nature of concrete-based structures means that they generally perform very well in fire. However, concrete is a complex material and its properties can change dramatically when exposed to high...
Steinhaus, Thomas, Welch, Stephen, Carvel, Ricky O, Torero, Jose L
A review of research into the burning behaviour of large pool fires and fuel spill fires is presented. The features which distinguish such fires from smaller pool fires are mainly associated with the...

The contribution of asphalt road surfaces to fire risk in tunnel fires: Preliminary findings (2006)
Carvel, Ricky O, Torero, Jose L
Most fire experiments carried out in tunnels to date have focussed on the burning behaviour and smoke production of liquid pool fires and vehicle fires. Other combustible surfaces, commonly found in...

Fire Size and Fire Spread in Tunnels with Longitudinal Ventilation Systems. (2005)
Carvel, Ricky O, Beard, Alan, Jowitt, P W, Drysdale, Dougal
The results and findings of three previous research projects are combined with new research to estimate the overall influence of longitudinal ventilation on fire size and spread in tunnels. Each of...

In recent years, a number of high profile accidental fires have occurred in several road and rail tunnels throughout the world. Many of these fires grew rapidly to catastrophic size and claimed many...
