| Abstract |
The re-determination of safe, initiative and appropriate egress strategies must be essentially treated in the post-9/11 environment, the application of simultaneous egress strategy is inevitable for protecting occupants' safety in high-rise buildings. However, the full evacuation time is liable to increase when using the simultaneous egress strategy for escaping building, hence this study analyzed to find the appropriate complex egress strategies applied for the evacuation elevators to decrease the full evacuation time of super tall buildings and proposed the detailed evacuation elevator criteria of introduction. This study also discussed the evacuation simulators which do not include the evacuation characteristics of high-rise buildings especially the elevator egress strategy. And the egress parameters of personal characteristics, attribute of evacuation elevator and the lists of output simulation data were derived for designing an egress simulator considering the evacuation elevator strategy of super tall buildings. |
