Abstract:Due to the superposition of double disasters, post-earthquake fires cause massive loss of life and property and pose serious threats to human life. In this paper, we review the history of secondary fires associated with several major earthquakes. We summarize the occurrence and spread of post-earthquake secondary fires, and discuss the analysis and research methods most commonly used to study them. We also summarize and analyze evaluations of the risks and losses associated with post-earthquake secondary fires. Recent advances in the prevention and control of these secondary fires are discussed with respect to civil buildings, oil and gas chemical facilities, nuclear power plants, post-disaster resettlement sites, and forestry. We used the bibliometric method to search for entries in the CNKI database in the past two decades related to the theme "secondary earthquake fire," and analyzed the relationship between heat and earthquake events.
