Opis

This book covers a wide range of issues in fire safety engineering in tunnels, describes the phenomena related to tunnel fire dynamics, presents state-of-the-art research, and gives detailed solutions to these major issues.

Recenzje

"This book seeks to be a comprehensive explanation of fire behaviour in tunnel environments. ... This book will prove to be an excellent resource for those prepared to put in the effort and work out their own solutions for their own unique tunnel problems." (Ricky Carvel, Fire Technology, Vol. 51, 2015)
