Two Full Scale Pilot Fire Experiments in a Tunnel
Two full scale pilot experiments were carried out in a tunnel in a limestone quarry 45 m below ground. The tunnel was 140cm long, 5 m wide and 5 m high, and had natural calcite rock surfaces which were unprotected and without reinforcements. The first experiment was designed to simulate a fire in a subway car stalled in a tunnel. The second experiment simulated the case when one car in a queue of cars in a tunnel catches fire. Forced ventilation of fresh air at the rate of 7 cu m/s was used. The fire load was made of wood cribs (moisture 17%) nailed together in a way that allowed an air space of 50 % of the total volume.
