  Impact of Water Mist Fixed Fire Fighting Systems (FFFS) on the Safety of Users and on the Tunnel Structure – Evaluation based on Large Scale Fire Tests

  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 conjunction with fire ventilation in road tunnels was determined based on more than 30 major fire tests under realistic conditions (scale 1:1, pool fires with fire loads 30 to 100 MW, solid matter fires 100 MW). To evaluate the impact of FFFS on structures and users the general fire development is presented on the basis of resulting temperature measurements in the tunnel and inside its concrete structure.
