Original Abstract

Experience obtained from often tragic road accidents has proven that in a fire the tunnel lining is destructed very intensively by high temperatures. Concrete, usually applied using the sprayed concrete technology (so-called shotcreting) is used for building the linings of road tunnels. The topic of the present article is the development of a concrete mix determined by the sprayed concrete technology so that this material is to the maximum extent resistant to extreme temperature effects occurred in a fire. It is apparent that using this type of concrete is one of the way of increasing the fire safety of road tunnels.
