Performance-Based Design of Mine Fire Safety

Mine fire is one of the major mine disaster. If a fire occurs, it will be very harmful to the life of miner, mine equipment, mineral resources and surface environment and so on. Mine fire occurred (including threatening ground fire underground), often incurring casualties, loss of equipment, mine shutdown, resource damage, and even cause gas and coal dust, or sulfide ore dust explosion. Performance-based design of mine fire is based on the principles and methods of fire safety engineering. The development of performance-based design methods and promote the development of performance-based specifications. In this paper, the performance of the design in accordance with the mine fire resistance design theory, combined with the specific assumption of mine were studied. Accordance with the specific performance-based fire design steps, first determine the goal of performance-based fire protection design and safety criteria and to simulate the airflow, pollutant-specific factors, such as fire, and compared with actual data, and finally carry out a safety assessment. Thus completing the mine fire performance-based design.
