Safety in residential buildings: Evacuation from residential buildings without fire escape stairs
Introduction/purpose: Safety in high residential buildings presents a very important and always actual task. In case of some unforeseen and dangerous occurrences, their residents must be evacuated. Fire, earthquakes, and terrorism are only some of such situations. The speed of evacuation from hi...

| description |
Introduction/purpose: Safety in high residential buildings presents a very
important and always actual task. In case of some unforeseen and
dangerous occurrences, their residents must be evacuated. Fire,
earthquakes, and terrorism are only some of such situations. The speed of
evacuation from high residential buildings depends on many different
factors. A particularly difficult and complex evacuation task concerns
buildings without fire escape stairs.
Methods: The modeling method was used in this paper. Based on a real
object – a residential building, an appropriate simulation model was
realized in appropriate simulation software.
Results: The results of this paper have shown that, out of four scenarios,
the fastest evacuation was for the evacuation speed of 1.75 m/s. The first
two scenarios did not report any jams, unlike the third and fourth scenario;
in the third scenario, the occupants' speeds were 0.75 m/s and 1.25 m/s
while in the fourth scenario, the simulated occupants' speeds were from
0.75 m/s to 1.75 m/s.
Conclusion: The usage of appropriate simulation software enables fast,
precise, safe and cheаp calculation of evacuation times and it can
significantly improve evacuation procedures and evacuation strategies. |
