Abstract: Fixed Fire Fighting Systems (FFFS) are commonly recognized to mitigate the fire development and to minimize the negative effects on the tunnel structure. The given paper analyses the effect of FFFS on both, safety of users and structural safety based on results from the SOLIT2 project. Within the scope of the SOLlT2 project, the efficiency of water mist fire fighting systems in...
Abstract: The existing tunnel structures in Germany are characterised by progressive ageing, which is particularly evident in the tunnels’ inner lining. In addition, under the influence of incisive events and new research results over several years, the government has reviewed and updated some of the guidelines under which these buildings were designed and constructed. If deterioration now requires the...
Abstract: Existing road and railway tunnels in Central Europe increasingly show signs of aging and deterioration, which is particularly evident in the tunnels’ inner lining. Due to dramatic tunnel fires, and novel research findings, German authorities have reviewed and revised several guidelines for the design of tunnel structures in recent years. In the national research project KOINOR, a cement-free...
