Abstract |
The purpose of performance-based design is to present specific performance to achieve the purpose of fire safety, and a generally used method to perform this is evacuation safety evaluation. However, when evaluating the current evacuation safety, only the simulation results measured at a specific point are compared to determine stability. This raises the question of trusting the evaluation results. Thus, in this study, the evacuation safety evaluation results in situations where smoke is not considered and the evacuation safety results that appear when they are reflected in the selection of evacuation routes were compared and analyzed. Accordingly, in the evaluation method that does not consider the impact of smoke, the existing evacuation safety evaluation is judged to be an unreliable evaluation method as evacuees continue to move in the direction of smoke diffusion. As for the evaluation method considering the effect of smoke, the evacuee tends to deviate from the direction of smoke diffusion, so such an evaluation method is considered more reasonable. |
