Road tunnels are increasingly built due to heavy traffic in dense urban areas. Knowledge of the spread of smoke is still limited. A numerical study on the smoke flow in a tunnel has been made using the model of small-scale tunnel. Effects of the longitudinal air flow on the flow structure, the temperature distribution and the smoke stratification of the fire in the tunnel have been considered by taking into account the inclination of the tunnel and the transverse positioning of the source. The results show that the spread of smoke is independent of the transverse position of the source in the fourth phase of the flow. The slope has a slight influence on the flow and promotes the flow stratification in a ascending slope. The longitudinal air flow promotes destratification of the smoke flow. The model was validated by comparison with experimental data obtained from fire tests (Wu et al.) in a small-scale tunnel.  Keywords: Tunnel fire; Smoke flow; Stratification; FDS  © 2014 JSR Publications.

When the road tunnel is excavated, the multi lining is used to being applied. In order to keep the surrounding rock stabilize and arouse the self-stability of the surrounding rock, building the first support is essential. But the slabbing often occurs near the spring line on the surface of the first lining, and because the slabbling is a common failing and not attracted our most attentions, it will develop to the crack and threaten the stability of the structure finally. This paper uses the line elastic method to analyze the mechanics that causes this slabbing phenomenon via the interaction between the surrounding rock and the first lining, and suggests the measure that escape the slabbing.
