- Abstract
- ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH Because of a set of stirring fires in underground tunnel constructions it became urgent to revise the basis for fire prevention as well as the establishment of means of escape and rescue in tunnel constructions. The necessary specifications on distribution of temperatures and smoke spread were got by fire experiments in a tunnel. In this report the results of measures of temperatures, smoke density and concentration of CO on a level between 1.5m and 2.0m are interpreted and contrasted to limiting values.
