Abstract:

The Department of Mining Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) has been charged by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to evaluate fire life safety at the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnels (EJMT),particularly with the recent completion of a fixed fire suppression system (FFSS) for the tunnel interior. Over the past year, a research team at CSM conducted a detailed examination of the policies, methods and infrastructure related to response to fire emergencies at the tunnel complex. Researchers utilized a risk assessment model and computational fluid dynamics(CFD) modeling for fire dynamics simulation. With this detailed evaluation process, researchers developed a series of recommendations and conclusions for facility and process improvements at the EJMT.
