Recently luminous egress guide-lines are introduced for the fire safety of residents in the multi-use buildings such as Gosiwon. Little literature, however, on the quantitative and qualitative estimation for the egress performance of the luminous egress guide-lines can be found. This study carried out experimental investigations to evaluate the egress performance of the existing egress guide-lights and new luminous egress guide-lines. The results showed that both luminous egress guide-lines and egress guide-light satisfied the basic performance of KFI requirements. Under the 7 % smoke transmittance, however, luminous egress guide-lines showed 3 times longer visibility and less evacuation time than egress guide-lights. The evacuation density and smoke transmittance have significant effect on the evacuation time increase without the luminous egress guide-lines, however little effect with the installation.

This study aims to improve the Evacuation Performance o( the I)inc()unto-store in underground that is rapidly new shopping store in Korea. In this paper, The architectural properties of the floor plan and section was reviewed with egress focus, occupant load density of the Discount-store was surveyed and the procedure and method of performance based egress design for this occupancy was analysed with SIMULEX model and calculation method. As a result of modeling, more longer available safe egress time (ASET) is expected than required safe egress time (RSET)in underground discount-store. In order to improve the Evacuation Performance for this type occupancy, egress capacity including escape stair, aisle width, escape door is calculated with based on occupant load density and review of shopping cart's structure and size and maximum escape capacity of the cash counter.

It has been recognized that the evacuation planning is very important for effective evacuation of occupants on fire event. However the present evacuation planning and regulation for fire safety usually tend to meet the minimum requirements based on the existing laws and regulations. The ultimate goal of the evacuation planning is evacuate occupants rapidly from building fires to the safe areas. In this study, First, analyzed occupants load density and occupants characteristics in high-rise apartment buildings, Second, A evacuation safety performance of high-rise apartment buildings was analyzed with various typical floor plans. The purpose of this study is to figure out the evacuation characteristics in high-rise apartment buildings and improve countermeasure through comparative study on the Evacuation regulation and floor plans for High-rise Apartment buildings.

As high-rise Apartment buildings increase the importance of fire prevention and escape performance. While these buildings provide dwellers with much more houses, they have the basic escape safety problem in their apartment buildings. In these respect, this study aims to present the Principles of Fire protection for the escape performance of apartment buildings. This study reviews basic theories of escape in apartment buildings. I figure out the characteristics of the fires in apartment buildings by case studying the fire in the apartment buildings, and find out the existing problems for escape performance and fire prevention by surveying. In this study, the major findings are as follows: The planning method should be based on the escape performance. In the planning stage, fire safety should be considered more seriously than law and economic factors.

This thesis is based on the study of necessity of an addressable emergency broadcasting system to improve evacuation performance in order to minimize human casualty by avoiding the initial evacuation after fires such as the multi-unit dwelling fire in Euijeongbu in 2015. To minimize the damage from fire generated in a complex internal structure such as modern buildings, introduction of adaptable emergency broadcasting system, could increase the efficiency of evacuation by preventing of initial mistaken evacuation directions by alerting the accurate location of fire to the occupants, is needed. As such, this study designed and fabricated the addressable emergency broadcasting system using the existing addressable system. Its performance was compared with a conventional emergency broadcasting system to confirm the necessity of the addressable emergency broadcasting system to improve evacuation performance. The test result showed that the addressable emergency broadcasting system decreased the evacuation time by up to 30.3% in a small-scale model evacuation performance experiment, up to 54.6% in a hallway evacuation performance experiment compared to the conventional emergency broadcasting system.

최근 대형화된 재난사고가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며 이에 따른 건축물의 피난설계가 중요시 되고 있지만 일반인에 비해 재해 시 피난이 곤란한 재해약자가 이용하는 시설에서의 성능설계나 피난계획은 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 장애인 복지시설을 대상으로 피난안전성평가를 실시하여 그 문제점을 도출하였으며 그 결과 장애인시설의 피난안전을 위해서는 피난개시시간, 엘리베이터 피난, 내장재, 발코니 유무, 출구 폭 등의 문제점에 관한 대책이 시급하며 또한 성능기반 피난안전설계 의무화가 우선시 되어야 할것으로 판단되었다.

In the disaster prevention design, it is important point to secure escape way at event of fire which makes people away from the fire more quickly and safely. Development of construction techniques leads to build many skyscrapers, and skyscrapers contains various dangers and increase levels of disaster. At basic design stage for skyscrapers, evacuation scenario is considered that occupants are escape using escape stairs and emergency elevators simultaneously at fire, but there is no evacuation program to simulate using escape stairs and emergency elevators at the same time. In this study, evacuation simulation is performed using method of VR which is based on Virtools of 3DVIA Co., and Simulex of IES Co. for safety and effectiveness where occupants are escape using escape stairs and emergency elevators simultaneously at the fire.

지하연계 복합건축물의 건립이 급증함에 따라 건축물의 피난 성능이 중요시되고 있으며 복잡 다양해진 피난유도에 대한 피난시설 배치와 RSET(Required Safe Egress Time)이 필수적으로 관련 지침에 명시되고 있다. 그러나 RSET에 대한 신뢰성 검증 및 용도별 수용인원 산정 방법이 주관적인 관점에 의해 제시되고 있으며 이런 검증 자료의 검토기준이 정량적이지 않아 안전성 확보가 이뤄지지 않고 있는 것이 현실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지하연계 복합건축물의 피난 안전성을 확보하는데 가장 적합한 검증을 위해 방재 선진국의 ASET 기준을 심층적으로 분석하여 지하연계 건축물 등에서 국내 실정에 맞게 적용할 수 있는 최적화된 ASET을 도출하였다. 이러한 ASET의 신뢰성을 검증할 수 있도록 피난안전구역 및 준하는 구역의 현실 가능성을 분석하고 국내 외에서 상용화되고 있는 피난시뮬레이션 소프트웨어를 통해 건축물의 용도에 따른 수용인원 산정기준의 현실적 방안과 피난경로 설정의 Logic을 감안하여 피난의 안전 및 최단시간 가능성을 고려하였다. 따라서 지하연계복합 건축물에서 요구하는 피난성능과 수용인원의 최적화된 RSET을 정량적으로 도출함에 따라 피난 안전성에 대한 검증 프로세스를 제시하였다.
