| Abstract |
In order to evaluate the risk of fire in multi-use establishments with a higher occupancy rate than other buildings, data on the evacuation
behavior (evacuation time, walking speed, etc.) of drinkers are necessary. However, since the data on the evacuation behavior of drinkers are
not generalized, fire risk assessments are being carried out on the evacuation behavior data of non-drinkers. Therefore, the results of
assessments cannot be fully trusted. In this study, a real experiment was conducted to analyze the evacuation behavior of South Korean
adults when they are drunken. In the experiment, the experimental participants were classified into groups according to the levels of drinking
and the amounts of required time by group were measured by evacuation stage (recognition time, activity time, pre-travel time and response
time). According to the experimental results, the required time of the group with the largest volume of drink was about 11.11 times longer
in the recognition time, about 3.02 times in the activity time, and about 1.63 times longer in the pre-travel time than that of the group with
the smallest volume of drink. However, it was found that their response time was shortened by about 0.5 times. When the experimental
results were put together, in general, the amounts of required time by evacuation stage increased as the volume of drink increased. |
