“…PBD has been implemented in building architectural design to aid emergency evacuation. Various applications in this area [82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89] are summarized in Table A6. The building evacuation model is one of the important tasks to be designed to assess the level of life safety when a disaster, such as fire or earthquake, happens.…”

“…With 410 s RSET and 500 s ASET, the design is affirmed to meet evacuation performance. Sujatmiko et al [88] performed a similar study for a 21-floor building located in Indonesia. They compared the travel time of evacuation experiment using trained and non-trained occupants, and that generated from FDS-EVAC simulation.…”

Traditional design approaches in civil engineering mainly focus on codes/guidelines related to building an infrastructure, while performance-based analysis (PBA), an emerging new reality around the world, focuses on the performance of the end product. Professional organizations, academicians, and the industry have made significant contributions in formulating PBA in various civil engineering fields, where practical guidelines and principles have been adopted in infrastructure analysis. This paper presents a critical review of PBA applications in three civil engineering fields: transportation, environmental, and structural engineering. The applications are grouped into a wide array of civil engineering areas, including highway transportation, pavement design and management, air transportation, water-structures design and operation, landfill design, building architectural design for evacuation, urban energy design, building earthquake-based design, building wind-based design, and bridge design and management. A total of 187 publications on PBA were reviewed and details on 122 application papers (from 23 countries/regions) are presented. The review consists of vertical and horizontal scans of PBA applications. In the vertical scan, the applications in each civil engineering area are summarized in tabular format that shows the system element modeled, analysis objective, performance criteria, analytical tool, and specifications/codes. The horizontal scan (discussion and lessons learned) addresses the following aspects of PBA: (1) the wide array of analytical tools used, (2) the broad functional and process-related areas, (3) the advantages, challenges, and opportunities, and (4) potential future applications. It is hoped that the state-of-the-art review presented in this paper will help researchers/practitioners quickly find useful information about PBA and promote its development in their respective fields.

In Thailand, the trends of new constructing high-rise buildings higher than 200-300 meters are increasing rapidly. The present design for evacuation follows the prescriptive code that is the same for all buildings higher than 23 meters. This code is concerned about the building types and the number and density of building occupants. This paper studies the evacuation time of a high-rise building in Thailand. A case study of high-rise residential building is employed using simulation techniques. The findings from this paper can be applied in both existing and new buildings. The simulation techniques used in this paper are applicable to Thailand and elsewhere.

The station serves more than 10 colleges and universities; without clear and practical emergency plans, the lives of people in such a crowded station would be under threat.…”

Numerical simulation of the fire emergency evacuation for a metro platform accident

A coupled analysis of agent behavior and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model is applied to investigate the fire evacuation effectiveness in a popular metro station in Guangzhou, China. Due to the high density and complexity of traffic, the concept of Required Safe Escape Time and Available Safe Escape Time (RSET/ASET), which is more flexible and adaptable than the “6 minutes” principle, is applied in the safety assessment of fire evacuation. To pursue a stable simulation of the coupled model, the standard Critical Radiant Flux is used to deter the tenability criteria for exposure to fire and heat. Various related factors, including the fire location, the Heat Release Rate (HRR) of fire, the crowd density, and the operation mode of escalators, are analyzed through a series of simulations. Results indicate that the interaction between fire and humans should not be neglected in the evacuation simulation. Both the fire location and the crowd density have a significant effect on the evacuation, while the HRR of fire has a minor impact. When the accident happens at the entrance of an escalator, RSET is 58.3% longer than that when the accident occurs in the middle of the platform. RSET grows with the increase of the crowd density linearly. Besides, the evacuation efficiency could be partly improved by changing escalators that usually operate in the descending mode into ascending mode.
