To realize smoke control for an underground space loop
with multiple ramps, blocks, and complex internal spaces, a segmented smoke
exhaust method is proposed. This involves separating the underground space loop
from the land using fire doors, thereby creating an independent structure. The
location of the air room is determined according to the tunnel structure,
facilitating the division of smoke into sections for discharge within certain
areas. This methodology is applied in a case study on the Bingjiang underground
loop. Here, the tunnel is divided into eight sections by evenly arranging six
smoke exhaust rooms on the main line and using them as nodes. In the event of a
fire, the fans at both ends of each section initiate smoke exhaust. Given that
there are no fixed separations between each section, the entire air duct
remains interconnected. As such, the fans in each fan room can serve as backup
smoke exhaust fans to reduce costs. The numerical simulation software is used
to establish a model to simulate the number and spacing of smoke exhaust ports.
From this, it is determined that the optimal smoke exhaust scheme involves a
smoke exhaust volume of 90 m3/s, a distance of 30 m between
smoke exhaust ports, and eight smoke exhaust ports. Then typical sections are
evaluated in terms of their evacuation environment and smoke exhaust
efficiency. The results show that smoke is effectively controlled within a
certain range, ensuring a safe evacuation environment. Moreover, the smoke
extraction efficiency reaches 90%, proving the rationality and the feasibility
of the proposed method.
