Abstract:Smoke propagation in the region of cross-passages in long railway tunnels -Results from full scale testsResearch on rail tunnel smoke dispersion was carried out on a completed section (KAT 1) of the Koralmtunnel in Austria. Field tests were performed on a scale of 1:1, covering fires with a maxi mum heat release rate of up to 22 MW. Smoke dispersion as well as the related temperature distributions in various sections of the tunnel were monitored using video cameras. The focus of the investigation was placed on… Show more
