Abstract: Full-scale experiment is an important means to verify and optimize the metro fire smoke diffusion theory and smoke control design method. To have a systematic overview on full-scale fire experimental findings and predict the development trend, the progress of full-scale experimental researches on metro fire both at home and abroad were reviewed in this study, mainly including the promotion of full-scale fire experiments in subway trains, tunnels, stations and parking lots on the development of smoke control technology. The main trend of full-scale experiments focusing on large complex hub station, tunnels with complex structures, different types of trains and ancillary engineering were prospected. The results show that the current researches focus on smoke control design of single and two lines transfer stations and tunnels utilizing full-scale experiments, and the modification on train fire heat release rate curve, and that there are still some deficiencies in integrating testing method, enlarging experimental scale, and combining with large passenger evacuation, which should be focused on in the subsequent research.

Key words: metro fire, full-scale experiment, research progress, developing trend, improved demand
