Experimental study on combustion parameters and temperature distribution of linear fire under different oxygen concentration in tunnel

Results in Engineering, 2021
Many cables are placed in the underground utility tunnel, which are with greater fire hazards. Once fire occurs in an enclosed tunnel, thermal radiation may ignite the adjacent cables, which will cause cable fire and further expanding of fire scale, and ...
