| 5. | A theoretical model of major fire spread in a tunnel. |
| Abstract: A model of major fire spread in a tunnel is described. It employs the concepts of non-linear dynamical systems theory and identifies the onset of instability with major fire spread in a tunnel. In particular, the model associates the existence of a fold bifurcation with dramatic fire spread from an initial fire to a ‘target object’. The purpose is to identify the thermo-physical and geometrical conditions which lead to instability and sudden fire spread. Flame impingement on the target object is assumed not to exist; fire spread is assumed to be by spontaneous ignition only. The case considered assumes the existence of a longitudinal forced ventilation and predicts the critical heat release rate needed for a fire to spread from an initial fire to an item with a given assumed shape. The target object may be taken to approximate a vehicle. The illustrative case approximating fire spread from an initial fire to a heavy goods vehicle (HGV) within the Channel Tunnel is presented; it is not restricted to this case, however. The model is identified with the name FIRE-SPRINT A3, which is an acronym of Fire Spread in Tunnels, Model A, Version 3. It is a development of an earlier model, FIRE-SPRINT A2. The current model takes greater account of thermal radiation than was done in the earlier work and also assumes a more extensive flame volume for a downstream flame section.

| 9. | A high-speed railway through marshlands (CTRL). |
| Abstract: Providing a high-speed railway from the Channel Tunnel to London St Pancras, England, has brought a wide variety of engineering challenges. This paper describes some major features of contract 310 of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL), where the challenge was the construction of a high-speed railway formation across marshlands adjacent to the River Thames. Contract 310 provided the main civils works from where the Thames tunnel emerges westward from under the Thames to the start of the London tunnel just to the west of Dagenham Dock Station leading to Stratford and St Pancras. The contract extends over 12 km on an alignment mostly at grade through Aveley, Wennington and Rainham Marshes where, for the most part, the railway formation is supported on concrete piled slabs. In some areas, ground strengthening has been used instead. Three significant viaducts carry the track over obstacles from roads, railways and rivers (Thurrock, Aveley and Rainham Creek Viaducts). Construction started in January 2002 and was completed in July 2005. Keywords: bridges; flooding and floodworks; rail track design. - Abstract only available to subscribers | |

| 10. | NCE Supplement: HS1 - Rail all the way [London to the Continent: high speed all the way]. |
| Abstract: A special supplement that presents a series of articles describing the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. Due to open in November 2007, the new railway line, now named High Speed 1 (HS1), will be the first dedicated high speed link in the UK. Reports on the obstacles the route planners faced; discusses the archaeological issues; reports on the robust and proven management and procurement of the project; examines how St Pancras station is being transformed into an international transport hub; the design and construction of the Dagenham to St Pancras tunnels; the design and construction of the Thames tunnel; the design and construction of the project-critical Stratford box; Stratford and Ebbsfleet stations and Temple Mills depot; the route between Dartford and Dagenham; the financing solutions of the high speed link; the community relations behind the project; the Eurostar service; the robust, tried and tested track, power and signalling systems; the Thameslink station fit out; the improvement in performance of Section 1; how the line will trigger regeneration investment; the regeneration of King's Cross Central. - Abstract only available to subscribers | |
