Controlling Fire Smoke in Gong-Guan Subway Station(2001)

Analysis and Enlightenment of Reading Literacy of Primary-School Students in Hong Kong Based on PIRLS 2016

For this study, we investigated the effectiveness of Gong-Guan Subway Station’s smoke control plan. Gong-Guan Subway Station is a typical Taipei Rapid Transit System subway station. The mechanical control systems used in the Gong-Guan Subway Station are standard equipment in modern subway stations. The three-dimensional smoke flow fields, under varied fire types, are illustrated via the computational-fluid-dynamic technique. The results are illustrated on various cross sectional planes. The results indicate that the stack effect has a deterministic effect on smoke control. Such was the case when the fire occurred near the stairwell. Under these circumstances, mechanical smoke control was not necessary. When the fire occurred on, for example, the edge or center of a platform, the GGSS’s mechanical control design was effective. The smoke could be easily controlled by confining and/or removing it from the station entirely, thus, leaving the four exits free of smoke and allowing passengers safe escape.
