  1. 1. Integrating Fire Evacuation into the Building Information Modelling Workflow

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Nazim Yakhou; [2022]
    Keywords : Fire Safety Engineering; Building Information Modelling; Fire Evacuation; Performance Based Design; Golden Thread of Information; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Building Information Modelling (BIM) is arising gradually as a useful methodology in the AEC field. One of the many benefits of BIM is coordination between stakeholders from multiple disciplines. However, the field of Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) is relatively lagging by its lack of integration into this digital workflow. READ MORE

  3. 2. Mescape - A probabilistic mesoscopic model for fire evacuation in large gatherings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Lorenzo Contini; [2022]
    Keywords : Human behaviour; crowd evacuation; mesoscopic modelling; hydraulic model; large gatherings; fire safety; performance-based design; quantitative risk assessment; consequence analysis; uncertainty analysis; probabilistic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study presents a mesoscopic model that predicts pedestrian evacuation in large gatherings with probabilistic methods. The model is based on a coarse network representation of buildings, where occupants are treated at a different scale according to their location. READ MORE

  4. 3. Verification Testing of Evacuationz, a Coarse Network Evacuation Model

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Antariksh Gupta; [2022]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Several evacuation models exist in the market. It is an issue for both the user and developer to evaluate the ease of use and the quality of the model results. Verification is the process of determining that the results of a calculation method match with the developer's conceptual modelling representation expectations, i.e. READ MORE

  5. 4. EVALUATION OF MEASUREMENT METHODS FOR DETERMINING INDIVIDUAL MOVEMENT IN CROWDS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Gabriel Larsson; Jesper Friholm; [2019]
    Keywords : Inter person distance; contact distance; step length; stride length; eye tracking; crowd movement; motion capture; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Since the mid-20th century, investigations of parameters that affect crowd movement have mainly been performed via video analysis. However, modern alternatives have been used to investigate how a person moves, but only with one person at a time. READ MORE

  6. 5. The Impact of Elevator Usage and Zoning on High-Rise Building Evacuation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Miqdad Kilpady; [2019]
    Keywords : Elevator; waiting time; elevator zoning; total evacuation time; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : For decades, the use of elevators has been prohibited during emergencies but with the ever-increasing heights of the buildings, safe and timely vertical evacuation by the conventional means of stairs seems more and more of a challenge. With the recent push for a better understanding of the pros and cons of use of elevators for evacuation by various concerned parties, it is imperative that there is a better understanding of the performance, advantages and risks involved with this evacuation strategy.
