Abstract

Junction at the staircase is one of key factors for building egress analysis. The most important factor is the congestion at the door or somewhere connecting from bigger area to smaller one. The other factor is the congestion in the staircase. It happens when people from upper floors meets people from the connecting floor. Especially egress situation at the high-rise building is worse. The simulation of the junction is only described by physical agent algorithms in egress model. For that reason, the description of phenomena will validate with the result of experiment and estimate the gap between modeling and experiment. In this research, the experiment of the junction and the simulation was conducted and validated. The gap between the experiment and the modeling was estimated. The flow rates of modeling were lower than the modeling.

계단에서의 합류는 건물 피난해석에서 매우 중요한 요소이다. 건물에서의 대규모 피난인이 이동하는 경우 정체가 발생하게 되는 지점은 병목현상이 발생하는 문이나 공간이 좁아지는 지점이 있다. 또한 계단에서의 정체이다. 계단에서의 정체는 상부층에서 내려오는 인원과 연결층에서 진입하려는 인원이 합류하면서 발생된다. 이러한 현상은 초고층 건물일 경우 더욱 심하게 될 것이다. 이러한 현상에 대해 현재 시뮬레이션의 결과에 의존하고 있다. 하지만, 이러한 모사가 정확하게 실제와 같이 구현되는지는 실험과의 비교를 통해 검토해볼 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 계단에서의 합류에 대한 실험과 시뮬레이션 적용분석을 수행하고 그 결과를 비교해보았다. 실제 실험과 시뮬레이션의 적용 결과는 차이를 보여주고 있으며, 모델링의 결과가 실제보다 낮은 것으로 나타나고 있다.
