Abstract

Evacuation facilities are installed so that people can evacuate high-rise apartment houses when it is impossible to escape fire through the front door. The households of apartment houses may escape the building in two ways, which will reduce loss of lives. This study examined the characteristics of two-way evacuation facilities, including a light-weight partition wall, shelter space at the balcony and horizontally-installed indoor emergency exit. Then, it proposed a horizontally-installed outdoor emergency exit that improved the problems of the examined facility types, and analyzed its economic-feasibility. When a horizontally-installed emergency exit instead of a traditional type to escape from fire is used, people may be more autonomous in deciding whether active evacuation is possible or not. Thus, the time required to evacuate the building with 4 different evacuation methods using the stairs and horizontally-installed emergency exit was simulated in consideration of the impact of evacuation methods that people choose on the time required for evacuation using pathfinder. Then, the simulation results were compared and analyzed. Any appropriate evacuation method to reduce the time required for evacuation was predicted, analyzed and decided. As a result of this study, it was analyzed that the high - rise apartment top - down type evacuation zone can shorten the total evacuation time compared to the staircase type.

고층 공동주택에서 화재시 현관문을 통해 탈출이 불가능할 경우를 대비해 발코니를 통해 피난이 가능하도록 피난시설을 설치한다. 이는 공동주택 세대의 양방향 피난이 가능하게 하며, 이로 인해 인명피해를 줄일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 양방향 피난시설인 경량 칸막이, 발코니 대피 공간, 실내형 하향식 피난구의 특징을 살펴보고 이들의 문제점을 개선한 실외형 하향식 피난구를 제시하고 경제성에 대해 분석하였다. 화재 발생 시 피난자는 전통식 피난구를 사용할 때보다 하향식 피난구를 사용할 때 능동적인 탈출 가능 여부를 더 자율적으로 판단 할 수 있다. 따라서 피난자의 피난방식에 따라 피난소요시간에 미치는 영향을 고려하여 계단식과 하향식 피난구를 통한 4가지 피난방식의 피난 소요시간은 시뮬레이션 pathfinder를 활용하여 비교분석하였다. 피난 소요 시간 단축을 위한 적합한 대피방식을 예측 분석 판단하였다. 본 연구의 결과 고층 아파트 하향식 피난구는 계단식보다 총 피난소요시간을 단축할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다.
