    • Simplified modelling of the performance of concrete tunnels during fire and post-fire damage classification 

      Autor: Van Coile, Ruben; Jovanović, Balša; Chaudhary, Ranjit Kumar; Deckers, Xavier; Lucherini, Andrea
      (České vysoké učení technické v PrazeCzech Technical University in Prague, 2022)
      The performance of concrete tunnel structures during and after fire is not well understood. This is an obstacle to the adoption of risk-based approaches for fire safety design of tunnel structures. Upon the request of the ...
