| Synopsis: |
"It is without a doubt a must-read for all those involved in the procurement, design and equipping of new road and rail tunnels and the improvement and updating of existing ones." - Myles P O'Reilly, Chairman, T&T International Editorial Advisory Board. Fire safety in tunnels has become a major international issue, following catastrophic tunnel fires that have occurred worldwide. As a result, it has become essential to gain a much better understanding of all aspects of tunnel fire safety, from basic science to acceptable risk and the law. This need has produced a significant increase in research and investigation.The fundamental principles which emerge from this, form the bed-rock for decision making on how tunnels may be designed, or up-graded and operated in an acceptable way. This book brings together, for the first time, contributions from international experts in all areas of the field of tunnel fire investigation and fire fighting."The Handbook of Tunnel Fire Safety" spans the spectrum of current knowledge available in the field of tunnel fire safety covering a diverse range of topics including: fire safety management and human behaviour; fire prevention and protection; including tunnel ventilation; tunnel fire dynamics and fire investigation; emergency services and emergency procedures; and tunnel fire safety and the law. The authors make the book an essential resource for all concerned with fire safety in tunnels, including designers, operators, regulators, emergency services, equipment manufacturers and researchers. |
