It has been 60 years since the development of subway in China.Especially in the past two decades,the subway construction in China has made great strides in development.Even in the process of such rapid development,subway builders and participants have never stopped exploring and discussing the problem of subway fire protection.In the process of continuous construction,due to the different environmental factors inside and outside each station,new fire problems are constantly emerging.This paper analyzes the problems existing in the fire protection design of subway station,such as fire compartment division,personnel safety evacuation,air shaft spacing and so on,and puts forward countermeasures and suggestions,which provides technical reference and beneficial exploration for subway fire protection design and verification.
