In the case of medical facilities, the evacuation time is delayed due to the decrease in the number of people in the hallway and exits due to the increase in the width of evacuation by using mobile beds, wheelchairs, crutches, etc. Accordingly, it is considered to secure evacuation capacity to reduce evacuation time according to corridor width and exit width. Accordingly, we would like to compare the standards related to the evacuation capacity of medical facilities in Korea and NFPA, derive differences, and use evacuation simulations to compare evacuation times according to changes in corridor width and exit width. In Korea, it is calculated based on the floor area by use, but in the case of NFPA 101, the number of evacuation routes, stair width, corridor exit width, and two-way door width was stipulated depending on the number of people. Using evacuation simulation, efficient evacuation capacity is calculated according to the reduction of evacuation time by changing the width of the hallway, changing the width of the exit, the width of the corridor, and the width of the exit. The evacuation simulation is intended to be used to secure evacuation safety of domestic medical facilities by calculating the effective evacuation time reduction by changing the width of the hallway and exit.

Smoke is one of the most critical factor when escaping from the fire since it reduces visibility and interrupts finding emergency exit lights. Therefore, it is recommended that an evacuation simulation program should incorporate the smoke factor. In addition, it is suggested that the program should include not only the unilateral damage by the smoke but also the detour evacuation by risk communication. In this study, MAS (Multi Agent System)-based simulation program which incorporates the reduced walking speed by smoke and adopts the dispersion evacuation logic during escaping from the fire. To make comparison, a commercial evacuation program, Pathfinder was used. It was found that the simulation results of MAS (Multi Agent System)-based program is better than Pathfinder in terms of safe evacuation. It means that evacuation simulation need a additional evaluation categories that include not only quick evacuation time but also safe evacuee number.

When evacuation safety Design of buildings, the calculation of evacuation capacity is the most important factor that it directly impact of evacuation safety performance. However domestic standards is not consider about occupant characteristics. also the case of domestic, it has the problem that the law is partially applied when the fire safety design of buildings. Therefore, in this study we anlayze the evacuation capacity standards of each countries as basic study for development the Korean Life Safety Standards

야간의 주택화재는 피난개시의 지연으로 인명피해 위험이 높아지게 된다. 따라서 주택용화재경보기를 설치하여 조기에 화재경보를 해주어 피난개시시간을 단축시킬 때의 피난안전을 해석하였다. 주택을 연구의 대상 건물로 하여 CFAST를 사용해서 화재특성과 화재경보기 작동시간을 분석하였고, 이를 building EXODUS의 위험인자로 사용하여 4인 가족에 대한 피난시뮬레이션을 하였다. 피난개시시간을 다르게 하였을 때 170초에 피난을 개시한 경우 최초 사망자가 발생하였으나 주택용화재경보기작동시간 37.1초를 피난개시시간으로 한 경우는 안전한 피난이 되었다. 해석결과 주택용화재경보기를 설치할 경우 주택화재로부터 인명과 재산피해를 줄이는데 효과가 있다고 판단하였다.

Recently, due to fires in high-rise residential and commercial buildings and apartments in Ulsan and Busan, the issue of evacuation safety in the event of a building fire is being closely watched. In the evacuation safety design for these building fires, it is important to secure evacuation routes considering the spatial characteristics of the building or the characteristics of the occupants and to take measures to protect the evacuation routes in order to ensure the safety of the occupants in the event of a fire. Although simulation is mainly used in Korea to assess the safety of evacuation, there is a big difference in that the Building Standards Act provides tools that can be calculated more than simulation in neighboring Japan. In addition to the evaluation method, which is called the "Building Law Assessment Methods" in Japan, the research team considered that it is important to know the process of evaluation in future domestic research, and investigated the contents of the evaluation process and wanted to apply it first to domestic buildings in the future.

Chinese high-rise hotels are large in size, densely populated, and have a lot of combustibles. Once a fire occurs, the fire and smoke spread rapidly, and once a fire accident occurs, it is easy to cause a large number of deaths. Fires have a greater impact on special populations such as elderly and children who move slowly. At present, research mainly focuses on the impact of high-rise building structures on evacuation consequences, but there is very little research on the safety evacuation consequences of elderly people and children in high-rise hotels. This paper focuses on the elderly and children living in high-rise hotels in China. We studied three scenarios in which the elderly and children were placed on high floors, middle floors, and low floors. For the above three scenarios, use pathfinder software for simulation, According to the simulation results, when the elderly and children are mainly concentrated in the lower floors (2nd and 3rd floors), the evacuation time is the shortest, 147 seconds. The evacuation time for the elderly and children on the middle floor (6th and 7th floors) is the longest, at 191.5 seconds. Compared to being placed on high floors, safely staying on low floors for all ages reduces evacuation time by 44.5 seconds and improves evacuation efficiency by 23.24%. The final safety evacuation plan is that in daily safety management, hotels should arrange elderly and children occupants on lower floors as much as possible to reduce the total evacuation time and improve personnel evacuation efficiency. This has great guiding significance in the safety management of high-rise hotels.

This study, in order to evaluate the safety of evacuation by comparing and analyzing the RSET according to the slope change of the ramp, which is a vertical evacuation route in case of fire in a high school building, Evacuation simulation was run the Pathfinder program changed the slope of the ramp to 10°, 15°, and 20° for each male students and female students. In the case of female students, it was analyzed that when the final RSET slope was 15°, 25.7 seconds were shorter than when 10°, and 4.2 seconds were shorter than when 20°. Male students also found that when the final RSET slope was 15°, 23.8 seconds were shorter than when 10°, and 5.4 seconds shorter than when 20°. It was analyzed that even if the number of participants was increased and the evacuation simulation was executed, the safety of evacuation could be improved when the slope of the slope is 15° as the RSET when the slope of the slope is 15° is shorter than that of 10° and 20°.

This study analyzes the effects of personal lockers, drinking fountains, and all-in-one shutters (hereinafter referred to as "corridor walking obstacles") on evacuation safety to suggest the necessity of operating a more effective educational facility safety certification system. To achieve this purpose, the five-story high school building with the obstacles installed in the corridor has been chosen, and evacuation tests through the Pathfinder Simulation Program have been carried out. When the evacuation exit is designated in the current state, where the students are placed on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors and the corridor walking obstacles are applied as a variable, the required safe egress time (RSET) is 322 seconds. This can lead to dangerous results in the event of a disaster by exceeding the available safe egress time (ASET) standard of 240 seconds by 82 seconds. When students are placed on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors under the same conditions, the RSET is 214.5 seconds, 25.5 seconds lower than the ASET standard, indicating that it is effective in reducing the impact of walking obstacles on evacuation time. The safety management plan for walking obstacles in the corridors is discussed, considering the special characteristics of the school corridors. The results of this study can be used as the necessary data for optimizing evacuation routes in corridors and creating a safe, educational environment.

In Korea, the occurrence and risk of similar fires are high, so setting up fire prevention measures through fire case investigation is considered the most basic measure in securing human safety. In particular, calculation of evacuation capacity in evacuation safety design of buildings is the most important factor that directly affects evacuation safety performance. However domestic standards is not consider about occupant characteristics. also the case of domestic, it has the problem that the law is partially applied when the fire safety design of buildings. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to study the current status and related regulations of the life safety code for the application of high fire risk buildings, and to analyze the difference in evacuation time through Case Study.
