Abstract

In case of fire in the buildings, the appropriate and safe evacuation plans for the building residents are very important to minimize the number of casualties. Since the evacuation time usually depends on the stairs and passages of design of the building, the evacuation plans should be considered while the architectural design is done. Conventionally, the calculation of the evacuation time in the case of fire breakout is based on the approximate mathematical equations which are prone to error. In this study, the simulation software is developed to help the architectural designers to access the more accurate evacuation time and find out the floor plans which offers the most sage evacuation plans for the residents in case of fire.
