Previous studies on tunnel fires have primarily focused on tunnels with flat ceilings and lacked studies on tunnels with beams. The present study is predicated on a reduced-scale tunnel model with a beam structure. Through meticulous analysis of the effects of factors such as longitudinal ventilation velocity and beam dimensions, the study unveils the distribution pattern of ceiling temperatures under the longitudinal smoke exhaust mode. The findings suggest that the presence of beams can induce turbulence in the longitudinal ventilation airflow. It has been demonstrated that the magnitude of this phenomenon is directly proportional to the spacing of the beams. This results in fluctuations in the ceiling temperature rise close to the combustion zone. The smoke storage capacity of the open cavities formed between adjacent beams is significantly affected by the beam height, thereby influencing the overall temperature rise beneath the ceiling. The greater the beam height, the higher the overall ceiling temperature rise near the combustion zone, but the lower the ceiling temperature rise downstream of the fire source. A prediction model for the longitudinal decay of ceiling temperature downstream of the fire source in tunnels with beams has been obtained. This model is related to the dimensionless beam dimension.
