La fonction de la tranchée de ventilation (aussi appelée bande de ventilation) diffère quelque peu de celle de la ventilation verticale traditionnelle […] La ventilation verticale traditionnelle sert simplement à éliminer la fumée et les gaz surchauffés d'un bâtiment. Elle atteint son efficacité maximale lorsqu'elle est pratiquée directement au-dessus du feu. La tranchée de ventilation sert plutôt à arrêter la propagation d'un incendie dans un bâtiment long et étroit. Elle est effectuée en pratiquant une grande ouverture, ou tranchée, d'au moins 1,2 m (4 pi) de largeur, d'un mur extérieur au mur extérieur opposé […] 1, record 1, French, - tranch%C3%A9e%20de%20ventilation
