Abstract
A case study was carried out on fire safety design of an international railway station. The whole facility consists of railway platforms on underground level, main terminal building and bus terminal building on ground. Due to the characteristics of the facility, railway platform is secured for border control, which has only one daily route via main terminal building. In case of fire in terminal building, passengers in platform area may be trapped in railway platform. To solve the safety problems, the whole facility was split into three blocks to confine fire effect within each block. Fire separation zone was designed so as to make three blocks free from fire and smoke each other. Safety checking was made on evacutation safety, firefighters' operation and structural fire resistance.
