| Abstract |
The cities are getting complicated. This caused the applicability development of the underground spaces. Comparing with the spaces above the ground, the underground spaces have no windows and tightly sealed. These make the people hard to escape in case of an emergency. Especially, currently constructed underground spaces have more potential to become large-scale fires in the event of a fire or other disaster since they are connected to subway platforms and underground shopping centers. Therefore, it is planned to analyze the standards for evacuation safety in domestic and foreign. In conclusion, the purpose of this paper is to derive the problems which has a potential to be enhanced from the existing regulations. Furthermore, a design guideline for the improvement of the evacuation safety is suggested based on the developed standards in advanced countries such as U.S. and Japan. |
