A Method for Assessing Safety and Rescue Availability for Long Road Tunnel Fires
Two thirds of Taiwans land mass is mountainous. To promote economic development in rural areas, two tunnels 5 km and 12.9 km long respectively have been built. In the east coast expressway tunnels, which now consists of nine tunnels (tunnel group), four tunnels are planned to be longer than 5 km (the longest of which is about 10.14 km). Since fire safety has been recognized as one of the most important issues during the operation phase of a long tunnel in Taiwan, the issues of fire safety in long tunnel require systematic analysis/evaluation during the tunnel design process. In this study, the fire service mechanism for long road tunnels in Taiwan was briefly reviewed. Additionally, an approach using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling results to evaluate life safety and the time constraints for executing the fire-fighting activities in a long tunnel is proposed in this study.
