1	Structures in underground facilities : Analysis of a Concrete Column’s Capacity to Withstand Extraordinary Fire Loads / Konstruktioner i undermarksanläggningar : Analys av en betongpelares förmåga att motstå extraordinär belastning vid brand Andersson, Anna, Carlson, Eva-Sara January 2012 (has links) The report present a Master of Science in engineering work carried out at Mälardalen’s University, made this work within the research project METRO. The work is a part of the research project METRO. The focus of the METRO project is on the protection of underground rail mass transport systems e.g. tunnels and subways stations. The aim with this work was to determine if a concrete column placed close to the tracks at a subway station can withstand the effect and temperature of a fire in a burning train comparable to the effects and temperatures that showed at the full scale test carried out within the METRO project. A literature review was made previous to the following case study. The results from this show that the column is negligible affected by the fire. / METRO project 2009-2012 Tunnel Fire Underground Facilities Fire Metro Fire Subway Fire Eurocodes Train Fire Load Concrete Fire Steel Fire Tunnel Brand Undermarksanläggningar Brand Tunnelbana Brand Eurokoder Tåg Brandbelastning Betong Brand Stål Brand
