| Abstract: | Evacuation system in a building is very important for life safety during fire emergency. It is important that safe egress routes are available to building occupants so that they are able to move to safe locations before untenablity conditions are reached. Engineering (performance based) approach to fire safety design warrants that evacuation system of a building is properly analyzed and both-Available Safe Egress Time (ASET) as well as Required Safe Egress Time (RSET) are quantitatively estimated to verify that design objectives have been achieved. Both ASET and RSET depend upon several variables involving different building characteristics and occupants’ characteristics. As such, estimation of ASET and RSET is a challenging task before fire protection analysts. Several researchers have investigated problem of evacuation during an emergency and have proposed different evacuation models. This paper discusses Movement Time of occupants and attempts to estimate it for a G+2 storey building using Hydraulic Model, EVACNET-4. |
