En partie haute de ces tunnels sont aménagées des gaines de ventilation, servant au renouvellement d'air lors de l'exploitation normale et à l'évacuation des fumées en cas d'incendie. Deux configurations existent : la ventilation transversale pure et la ventilation semi-transversale [...] L'avantage présenté par ce mode de ventilation, par rapport au mode longitudinal, est qu'il préserve la stratification des fumées, la nappe chaude formée par celles-ci se confinant naturellement. 3, record 1, French, - ventilation%20transversale
