Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
All kinds of tunnels are emerging all over the world due to the modern architectural trends. Although the development of tunnel brings convenience to people's life, tunnel fire often leads to tunnel structure damage and a large number of casualties. Currently in recent years, the diversity of tunnel fires have brought up advanced and unique challenges to tunnel fire safety, making the relevant research in general necessary.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the original findings regarding to the tunnel fire, and the potential perspectives for future investigations are also encouraged. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Fire and smoke transport mechanism
- Thermal effect on structural safety
- Smoke control strategy
- Fire detection and suppression technology
- Human evacuation procedures
- The application of fire retardant materials in tunnels
- The combination of tunnel fire with AI technology
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fire is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
