Summary:
The accelerated pace in construction of longer road tunnels has provoked a renewed interest in the analisys of the different scenarios that can appear during their service life. Among them one of the most complicated and worst known is the case of an accident with fire inside the tunnel. Using the powerful capacities of FIREthe paper present a parametric study on the implications of the use of the extractions ducts at ceiling (vents) as well as some of the preeliminary conclusions obtained, with the numerical modelling.
