Design Fires in Road Tunnels: A Synthesis of Highway Practice, National Academy of Sciences. TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) 415 The objectives of the study is to synthesize the available information related to design fires in road tunnels and to identify gaps in that information in order to provide a foundation for design guidance. A design fire is characterized by a number of parameters including the temperature, fire heat release rate (FHRR), fire growth rate, fuel load, and products of combustion.
