| Abstract |
New technologies for fire/disaster evacuation facilities that use balcony railings were tested by field-centered application and were evaluated
on standards of structural safety and weather resistance. Behavior simulations were conducted as well to predict evacuation safety according
to various building types. At the same time, various parameters were considered to analyze evacuation situation as functions of emergency
situation, building shape and characteristics of the residents. It was identified that reliability of the simulation was secured through actual
field experiments corresponding to various evacuation scenarios. As a result of field tests and simulations, it was found that one person could
evacuated in about 20 seconds, a 4 member family could evacuated in about 45 seconds for apartment complex cases, and it was possible
for 26 people to evacuate in 35 seconds in case of office. Total 98 people were able to evacuate in 200 seconds relatively shorter that 263
seconds of current descending life line for publicly used facilities case. |
