3. 17. Modelling the impact of sky-bridges on total evacuation for high-rise buildings

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Egzon Haliti; [2015]
   Keywords : Sky-bridges; stairs; total evacuation; evacuation model; Pathfinder; egress; congestion; merging flow; high-rise buildings; tall buildings; human behaviour; risk perception; trappor; samtidig utrymning; utrymningsmodell; utrymning; trängsel; samgående flöden; höga byggnader; människors beteende; riskperception; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study examines the impact of sky-bridges, as an egress component, on total evacuation of a high-rise building by using an evacuation model named Pathfinder. Five scenarios, with different combination of aspects such as height of the building, number of sky-bridges (and the subsequent inter-distance between them), and people allocation have been simulated.
