摘要

Large-scale fire testing and fire development modeling suggest that for “small” ignition sourcesrnwith heat release rates less than those in the range of 200 kW to 300 kW, fire development tornflashover is unlikely to occur in a rail vehicle constructed from NFPA 130-compliant materials. Thisrnrange also accounts for the majority of interior rail vehicle fires. To date, no passenger rail carrnmeeting the NFPA 130 mandated materials requirements has been involved in an accidental postrnflashover fire other than when large amounts of external fuels are added as from a railcar-truckrncollision. However, large scale testing suggests that ignition sources greater than ~200 to ~300 kWrnwhen sustained long enough to ignite the ceiling and upper walls of such a car may result in rapidlyrnpropagating fire spread, with flashover occurring in less than 5 minutes and peak heat release ratesrnexceeding 30 MW, even with NFPA 130-compliant materials. The fire scenario this representsrnconstitutes a low probability high impact event that would most likely be the result of a maliciousrnarson attack using flammable liquids.rnNFPA 130 provides little guidance as to how the designer should go about determining which vehiclernfire scenarios should be considered (undercar fire, on-board luggage fire, nuisance arson, maliciousrnarson), nor does it provide guidance on how fire growth rates and heat release rates should bernquantified for such particular scenarios selected for analysis. With most decisions regarding designrnfires left to the owner, designer, and authority having jurisdiction, a seemingly inconsistent widernrange of fire growth rates and peak heat release rates have been and are still used around the world forrndesign of associated station and tunnel ventilation facilities for individual rail systems. This paperrnreviews the design fires that have been used in various rail passenger transportation projects in the USrnand internationally as well as the fire testing and modeling analyses on which these design fires havernbeen based. A risk informed performance-based design approach is suggested as one potentialrnapproach for addressing the uncertainty associated with design fire selection
