3.1.1. Runehamar tunnel fire tests Five large-scale fire tests, including one pool fire tests (T0) and four HGV mock-up fire tests (T1-T4), were carried out in the Runehamar tunnel in Norway in year 2003 [22]. These real-scale fire tests have significantly improved the community knowl...

A total of 36 people were sent to hospital for treatment, five of whom died, according to the publicity department. Further investigation of the accident is underway.
The results indicated that: (1) Smoke movement can be divided into five stages, including free rise, diffusion under inclined ceiling, diffusion under horizontal ceiling, flow back, and steady circulation. (2) Temperature upstream is larger than that downstream of the fire source, which is ...
“Failure of fire-fighting equipment” has five fire equipment monitoring modules, i.e., “Intelligent monitoring of wireless hydrants”, “Power monitoring of fire-fighting hydrants”, “Wireless smoke detection”, “Wireless water pressure monitoring”, and “Wireless water flow monitoring”. The ...
At this point of the investigation, it was clear that the purely mechanical static fracture, which in both cases could be clearly deduced from the fractographical examinations, remained inexplicable. While in the 2012 case, it was initially suspected that strong vibrations could have led to high ...
and finally the main tunnel. The service tunnel was periodically connected to the main tunnel with a series of connecting shafts, at 600- to 1,000-metre intervals.[14] The pilot tunnel serves as the service tunnel for the central five-kilometre portion.[12] Beneath the Tsugaru Strait, the...
