Validation of an agent-based building evacuation model with a school drill
(2018)
An effective evacuation of buildings is critical to minimize casualties due to natural or anthropogenic hazards. Building evacuation models help in preparing for future events and shed light on possible shortcomings of ...
Seismic risk assessment of human evacuations in buildings
(National Information Centre of Earthquake Engineering, 2017)
Major earthquakes may require people to evacuate immediately from buildings as recently observed in the 2015 Mw 8.3 Illapel earthquake in Chile. The building may suffer damage, thus affecting the evacuation process. Perhaps ...
Sequential evacuation strategy for multiple rooms toward the same means of egress
(Papers In Physics, 2014-11)
This paper examines different evacuation strategies for systems where several rooms evacuate through the same means of egress, using microscopic pedestrian simulation. As a case study, a medium-rise office building is ...
Siesmic risk assessment of human evacuations in buildings
(2017)
Major earthquakes may require people to evacuate immediately from buildings due to other consequential hazards, e.g. fires, landslides, tsunamis, or significant structural damage. During the evacuation, building occupants ...
Admissible height and urban density of buildings for the Prospective Management of Seismic Risk in residential areas
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020-09-30)
This research proposes limit values of height and population density of buildings for a Prospective Management of Seismic Risk in residential areas. The analysis of an efficient evacuation of buildings to the street or ...
Comparing dynamic evacuation control strategies for emergency situations
(IEEE, 2015)
A comparative study of dynamic evacuation control strategies for emergency situations such as fires or earthquakes is presented. Due to the changing nature of emergency situations, there is a clear need for generating ...
Modeling the Impact of Earthquake-Induced Debris on Tsunami Evacuation Times of Coastal Cities
(2019)
Tsunami alerts following severe earthquakes usually affect large geographical regions and require people to evacuate to higher safety zones. However, evacuation routes may be hindered by building debris and vehicles, thus ...
Evaluation of the Evacuation of Essential Buildings: Interaction of Structural and Human Behaviour through Nonlinear Time-History Analysis and Agent-Based Modelling
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2020-02-07)
In this article, a performance assessment of the evacuation system is established for educational buildings. Structural and geotechnical information of the building is collected and introduced into a database. A similar ...
Como melhorar a segurança contra incêndios em edificações antigas
(Universidade Tecnológica Federal do ParanáPonta GrossaBrasilEngenharia de Segurança do TrabalhoUTFPR, 2018-03-28)
The objective of this article is to present some irregularities in an old building that does not comply with the Panic and Fire Safety standards and adopt improvements in this aspect according the current legislation of ...
Earthquake risk assessment of buildings accounting for human evacuation
(2017)
A primary goal of earthquake engineering is to protect society from the possible negative consequences of future earthquakes. Conventionally, this goal has been achieved indirectly by reducing seismic damage of the built ...
