Recently, as the construction of new railway and the relocation of existing line increase, tunnel structures get longer. The railway fire accidents in long tunnel bring large damages of human life and disaster. The interest on safety in long tunnel has been growing and the safety standard for long tunnels is tightening. For that reason, at the planning stage of a long tunnel, the optimum design of safety facility for minimizing the risks and satisfying the safety standard is required. For the reasonable design of a long railway tunnel considering high safety, qualitative estimation for tunnel safely is required. In this study, QRA (Quantitative Risk Analysis) technique is applied to design of a long railway tunnel for assuring the safety function and estimating the risk of safety. The case study for safety design was carried out to verify the QRA technique for two railway tunnels.

The Korea Foldable safe pathway system is an evacuation support system to get temporary evacuation route in railway tunnel and large space fires. A prevention smoke screen is unfolded in fires and it is needed to prevent heat and smoke from fire source. Therefore, ventilation system for positive pressure condition is equipped with foldable safe pathway system. Numerical analyses of temperature and pressure distribution with distance from fire source were performed considering fire scenario of new train vehicle. The smoke temperatures did not exceed $200^{\circ}C$ that distance from the fire source was more than 20 m and smoke pressure was reduced with distance from fire source. Maximum smoke pressure was 14 Pa and average pressure was 6 Pa in position of prevention smoke screen. As results, to install foldable safe pathway system, ventilation system is need to maintain 6 Pa positive pressure condition.

국내에서는 철도차량의 화재안전성능을 향상시키기 위해 성능평가를 적용하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 철도차량에서의 화재 시 피난은 여러 가지 시나리오들이 존재하며, 이중 하나가 터널내부에서 정전이 되어 무조명상태가 되는 것이다. 철도차량은 물리적 공간적 환경이 건축물과 차이가 있다. 또한 문화적 인종적 차이로 인해 외국의 데이터를 바로 적용하는 것도 바람직한 일은 아니다. 그러므로 시나리오를 분석하기 위해 필요한 데이터는 실험을 통해 확보해야할 필요성이 있는 것이다. 무조명 상태에서의 피난인의 행태와 이동속도의 차이 등을 분석하기 위해 실험을 수행하고 그 결과를 분석해 보았다.

일반적인 피난모델은 건물 화재시의 상황을 예측해보기 위해 제작된 것들이다. 이들을 사용하여 철도차량 내부에서의 피난상황을 예측해보기 위해서는 각 출입문에서의 유동에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 특히 터널 내 정차와 같이 차량바닥과 지면의 차이가 존재하는 경우는 현재 자료가 없는 상황이다. 이는 철도차량뿐만 아니라 차량에서 나간이후에 경유하게 되는 터널이나 역사의 피난을 평가하는 데도 매우 중요한 자료이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 지하철 차량에서의 피난 현상 중에서 차량과 차량간의 이동과 차량에서 선로로의 이동에 대한 현상을 실험을 통해 분석해보았다.

The effectiveness of one dimensional critical velocity method for evacuation environment at 10MW fire size in a railroad tunnel have been investigated in this paper by three dimensional CFD method. It was performed to evaluate the evacuation environment in terms of temperature distribution, visible distance distribution and CO concentration at some tunnel inlet velocity, 1m/s, 2m/s (near critical velocity), and 3m/s. At all inlet velocity, passenger should give away downward the flow direction because the inlet velocity can not afford to sufficient evacuation environment for passengers. In case of 3m/s inlet velocity, however, the evacuation environment for passengers is better than the other cases. To provide more safe evacuation environment on fire situation, tunnel inlet velocity should be larger than critical velocity.

This paper performs flow analysis of ultra-high speed vehicle inside the long distance tunnel. One and three dimensional hybrid mesh was used for describing moving motion and flow analysis of an vehicle inside a long distance tunnel which over 20 km. Flow analysis and aerodynamic drag measuring were performed by three dimensional mesh: around vehicle, and pressure waves of a tunnel was measured by one dimensional mesh: the other region where rare changing of flow pattern.

An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the effect of tunnel slope on critical velocity by using the model funnel of the 1/20 reduced-scale applying the Floods scaling law. the square liquid pool burners were used for methanol, acetone and n-heptane fires. tunnel. Tunnel slopes varied as five different degrees $0^{\circ}$, $2^{\circ}$, $4^{\circ}$, $6^{\circ}$ and $8^{\circ}$. The mass loss rate and the temperatures are measured by a load celt and K-type thermocouples for tunnel slope. Present study results in bigger the critical velocity than the research of Atikinson and Wu using the propane burner. Therefore, when estimating the critical velocity in slope tunnel, the variations of the heat release rate is an important factor. The reason is the ventilation velocity directly affects variation of heat release rate when slope tunnel fire occurred.
