Analysis of Evacuation Efficiency Based on Properties of Construction Materials with Seven Popular Space Combinations in Architecture Design

Abstract:

How to evaluate the influence of the architecture space combinations effected by the properties of construction materials on the evacuation efficiency is an open and important question to the digital architecture research community. Few research works have been done to investigate the influences. This paper proposed a space-time use efficiency index to evaluate the use efficiency of space and time resources in the evacuation of the public buildings. Then, this paper evaluated the influence of the architecture space combinations on the evacuation efficiency by using the three indicators, namely, the evacuation time, evacuation distance and the proposed space-time use efficiency. The evacuation efficiency performance of the seven popular architecture space combinations which could be constructed different materials were tested by an implemented experimental system prototype, and their advantages and disadvantages were compared to draw a meaning suggestion in the architecture design.
