A Study on the Improvement of Domestic Evacuation Safety Assessment through Case Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Recently buildings have undergone many changes with more high-rise, larger and more complex structures being developed. All over the world, safety designs for buildings are being established through a variety of experiments and analysis of the planning and design stage of a comprehensive and scientific performance-based safety design for evacuation. In this study, this study seeks to present development directions for criteria related to domestic evacuation safety assessment through case studies. As a results, it is necessary to develop simulation programs as well as fire and evacuation scenarios that reflect domestic characteristics such as human behavior characteristics and space and occupants’ speed of movement so that appropriate performance-based design can be established. In addition, as the evacuation safety assessment-related standards are being manifested in building law and fire prevention regulations, it is determined that the need to develop integrated codes is immediate.
