VENT AND STATION TEST (VST) FACILITY - SPECIAL AND COMPLEX VENT SHAFT TESTING

This report has been prepared under the Transit Development Corporation, Inc. (TDC) project, 'Ventilation and Environmental Control in Subway Rapid Transit System' and is one of many such reports leading to the final product a 'Subway Environmental Design Handbook.' The purpose of this particular report is to present and describe the testing of special and more complex vent shafts. A generalized theory is formulated as an extension of this and previous VST work. Comparison between theory and experiment, according to the authors, is good.
