Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tunnel fire safety, and in particular relates to a method for predicting the maximum temperature and position of a ceiling in an underground inclined tunnel fire. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of my country's national economy and the acceleration of urbanization, urban road traffic construction faces severe problems such as tight urban land use and traffic congestion on trunk roads. Ground transportation can no longer meet the needs of urban development. Therefore, urban underground tunnel transportation has developed. Due to the narrow and long structural characteristics of the tunnel, once a fire occurs, high-temperature toxic and harmful smoke will spread along the ceiling to both ends of the tunnel. If the smoke generated by the fire cannot be discharged in time, the smoke will accumulate on the tunnel ceiling, resulting in an increase in tunnel smoke concentration and smoke layer thickness, seriously affecting fire rescue and personnel escape. One of the most important standards is the maximum temperature of the ceiling. The maximum temperature can effectively predict the location of the fire and evaluate the damage of high temperature to the tunnel structure. In horizontal tunnels, the maximum temperature of the ceiling is only related to the power of the fire source and the ventilation status. In the absence of ventilation, the maximum temperature of the ceiling is directly above the fire source. In the case of longitudinal ventilation, the maximum temperature of the ceiling is downstream of the fire source, and the maximum temperature of the ceiling will drop significantly.
[0003] However, urban highway tunnels are usually shallow, small in height, short in length, and often have a certain slope. In order to achieve more effective ventilation and drainage, the "Highway Tunnel Design Code" stipulates that the longitudinal slope of ordinary highway tunnels should generally be no less than 0.3% and no more than 3%. However, due to the complex terrain and geological conditions, urban underground tunnels such as mountain tunnels and cross-river tunnels have much larger slopes than ordinary highway tunnels. When a fire occurs in an inclined tunnel, the smoke flow state in the tunnel will change significantly under the action of the chimney effect. Therefore, it is necessary to explore a method for determining the maximum ceiling temperature and its location specifically for inclined tunnel fires. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the method for predicting the maximum ceiling temperature and its position in an underground inclined tunnel fire provided by the present invention solves the problem of large errors in the prior art method for determining the maximum ceiling temperature and its position in an inclined tunnel fire.
