How relevant are the temperature curves for a given tunnel?
 
The temperature curve is very important. If the temperature curve selected exposes the material to a lower temperature than the temperature in the fire in reality, the protection material will be under-specified. The Eureka fire tunnel project has revealed temperatures of vehicular fires of up to 1300° C. Even if a lower fire exposure curve is specified, the protection material should have melting temperatures above the potential worse case temperature.
