NFPA 502 Standard for Road Tunnels, Bridges, and Other Limited Access Highways 2017 Edition This edition of NFPA 502, Standard for Road Tunnels, Bridges, and Ot

12、her Limited Access Highways, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Road Tunnel and Highway Fire Protection. It was issued by the Standards Council on May 13, 2016, with an effective date of June 2, 2016, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 502 was approved as an American

13、National Standard on June 2, 2016. Origin and Development of NFPA 502 A tentative standard, NFPA 502T, Standard for Limited Access Highways, Tunnels, Bridges, and Elevated Structures, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Motor Vehicle Fire Protection and was adopted by the National Fire Protec

14、tion Association on May 16, 1972, at its Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, PA. It was withdrawn in November 1975. In 1980, the committee rewrote the document as a recommended practice and included a chapter on air-right structures. It was adopted at the 1981 NFPA Annual Meeting. Minor revisions to Cha

15、pters 2 through 5, primarily to water supply and re apparatus requirements, were made in the 1987 edition. The recommended practice was reconrmed in 1992. The 1996 edition incorporated a totally revised chapter on tunnels. Other revisions were made to correlate the new material in tunnel and air-rig

16、ht structure requirements with existing chapters and to update NFPA 502 with respect to current technology and practices. The 1998 edition was developed by a task group appointed by the chairman of the Technical Committee on Motor Vehicle and Highway Fire Protection. With the planned revision from a

17、 recommended practice to a standard, the task group reviewed and completely revised all chapters of the document, with special emphasis on incorporating the lessons learned following completion of the full-scale re ventilation test program at the Memorial Tunnel in West Virginia. Specic to the Memor

18、ial Tunnel Fire Ventilation Test Program, changes were made to Chapter 7, Tunnel Ventilation During Fire Emergencies. The title of the standard was also changed to more accurately reect the contents and to properly identify the major focus of the standard. The previous title, Recommended Practice on

19、 Fire Protection for Limited Access Highways, Tunnels, Bridges, Elevated Roadways, and Air-Right Structures, was changed to Standard for Road Tunnels, Bridges, and Other Limited Access Highways. The 2001 edition contained a signicant editorial rewrite and reorganization of the document. Technical ch

20、anges regarding emergency communication, emergency egress and lighting in tunnels, and tunnel ventilation were incorporated into the 2001 edition. Further changes were made to clarify the application of the standard based on tunnel length. The 2004 edition included new requirements for the protectio

21、n of concrete and steel tunnel structures, specic requirements for emergency lighting, and clarication of the travel distance to emergency exits in tunnels. The 2004 edition also updated the vehicle tunnel re data in Annex A to more recent international research. The 2008 edition added specic requir

22、ements for re tests for tunnel structural elements and included revisions that further claried the categorization of road tunnels; revisions regarding ventilation, tenable environment, and hazardous goods transport and a revision of the discussion topics in Annex E on xed re suppression systems.ROAD

23、 TUNNELS, BRIDGES, AND OTHER LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAYS 502-2 2017 Edition The 2011 edition further developed performance-based design approaches for tunnels. Table 7.2 was updated to provide a more comprehensive review of the required systems for tunnels based on tunnel category. Chapter 9 was added t

24、o address the design of water-based re-ghting systems. Additional changes to the document included the addition of system commissioning and periodic testing and updated annex material addressing design factors for life safety and property protection. The 2014 edition included technical changes regar

25、ding emergency ventilation systems, electrical systems, emergency response, and emergency exits and new requirements for ammable and environmental hazards. Table 7.2, the comprehensive review of the required systems for tunnels based on category, was reorganized, updated, and moved to Annex A for ea

26、se of use. Additional changes to the document included clarications for water-based re-ghting and standpipe systems along with updated annex material corresponding to newly added requirements in the body of the standard. The 2017 edition of NFPA 502 has revised the list of considerations to be taken

27、 into account during an engineering analysis and has added guidance in the annexes. Integrated testing on re protection, life safety, and emergency systems, in accordance with NFPA 4, is now required. Requirements for the structural protection of bridges has been modied. New to Annex B is guidance o

28、n establishing noise levels in order to maintain a minimum level of speech intelligibility through the emergency communication system. The constant K 1used in the critical velocity equation of Annex D has been modied and is no longer a constant for heat release rates (HRR) less than or equal to 100

29、MW. In Annex E, information has been provided regarding the effects of re suppression on HRR and tunnel ventilation. A new Annex M has been added providing guidance on the use of automatic re detection systems in road tunnels.COMMITTEE PERSONNEL 502-3 2017 Edition Technical Committee on Road Tunnel
