Post-Fire Damage Inspection Of Concrete Tunnel Structures, James Viglas
Post-Fire Damage Inspection Of Concrete Tunnel Structures, James Viglas
Masters Theses
In general, tunnels are designed with an abundance of safety regarding structural integrity, however, there can be uncertainty related to structural performance after a fire event. The residual condition of a tunnel after a fire is dependent on fire intensity and duration. The goal of this study is to correlate visual and material characteristics of structural and non-structural components of tunnels with fire temperature and exposure time. This can be further related to the residual capacity of structural members in a tunnel, providing insight into safety and overall functionality. Experimental results show that the visual response of materials with heat …
