    R. JEVTIĆ RESIDENTIAL BUILDING EVACUATION-SIMULATION OF POTENTIAL Residential Building Evacuation-Simulation of Potential Evacuation Scenarios With Presence of Immobile Persons RADOJE B. JEVTIĆ, Electrotechnical school „Nikola Tesla“, Niš Professional paper UDC: 614.8.084 DOI: 10.5937/tehnika2006814J The increase in urban population leads to the lack of housing in cities. One of potential solutions for this problem is to build tall residential buildings. The height of this objects, in recent times, ranges from several tens of meters even to several hundreds of meters, while the number of residents ranges from several hundred even to several thousands. Although these objects have built related to modern standards and technologies, with usage of modern materials and machines, problems can happen. One of particularly complex and hard problem presents the evacuation of residents in case of some disaster. Problem is much more severe and complicated if there are people with disabilities or people with special needs in the building. The potential solution for this problem can be the usage of simulation software. This paper was written to show the usage of simulation software Pathfinder in calculation of evacuation times for different evacuation scenarios, without the presence of immobile occupants, with presence of immobile occupants in the percentage of 5 % from complete occupant’s number and with presence of immobile occupants in the percentage of 10 % from complete occupant’s number. Key words: evacuation, residential, immobile, scenario 1. INTRODUCTION The advancement of science, the usage of many new technics and materials has led to the advancement High residential buildings present the past, the in architecture, unthinkable before.

Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Georges Binder The “International” Skyscraper: Observations While using tall buildings data, the following paper aims to show trends and shifts relating to building use and new locations accommodating high-rise buildings. After decades of the American office building being dominate, in the last twelve years we have observed a gradual but major shift from office use to residential and mixed-use for Tall Buildings, and from North America to Asia. The turn of the millennium has also seen major changes in the use of buildings in cities having the longest experience with Tall Buildings. Chicago is witnessing a series of office buildings being transformed into residential or mixed-use buildings, a phenomenon also occurring on a large scale in New York. In midtown Manhattan of New York City we note the transformation of major hotels into residential projects. The transformation of landmark projects in midtown New York City is making an impact, but it is not at all comparable to the number of new projects being built in Asia. When conceiving new projects, we should perhaps bear in mind that, in due time, these will also experience major shifts in uses and we should plan for this in advance.

Ali† and Kyoung Sun Moon Structures Division, School of Architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL 61820, USA †Corresponding Author: Tel: + 1 217 333 1330; Fax: +1 217 244 2900; E-mail: [email protected] Received 8 May; accepted 13 June 2007 Abstract: Tall building developments have been rapidly increasing worldwide. This paper reviews the evolution of tall building’s structural systems and the technological driving force behind tall building developments. For the primary structural systems, a new classification – interior structures and exterior structures – is presented. While most representative structural systems for tall buildings are discussed, the emphasis in this review paper is on current trends such as outrigger systems and diagrid structures. Auxiliary damping systems controlling building motion are also discussed. Further, contemporary “out-of-the-box” architectural design trends, such as aerodynamic and twisted forms, which directly or indirectly affect the structural performance of tall buildings, are reviewed. Finally, the future of structural developments in tall buildings is envisioned briefly. Keywords: Aerodynamics, Building forms, Damping systems, Diagrid structures, Exterior structures, Interior structures, Outrigger systems, Structural performance, Structural systems, Tall buildings Introduction Tall buildings emerged in the late nineteenth century in revolution – the steel skeletal structure – as well as consequent the United States of America. They constituted a so-called glass curtain wall systems, which occurred in Chicago, has led to “American Building Type,” meaning that most important tall the present state-of-the-art skyscraper.

  • Sustainable High-Rise Construction in Shanghai Civil Engineering July 2015
    Sustainable High-rise Construction in Shanghai Case study – Shanghai Tower Gina Letízia Lau Thesis to obtain the Master of Science Degree in Civil Engineering Supervisor: Professor Manuel Guilherme Caras Altas Duarte Pinheiro Supervisor: Professor Manuel de Arriaga Brito Correia Guedes Examination Committee Chairperson: Professor Albano Luís Rebelo da Silva das Neves e Sousa Supervisor: Professor Manuel Guilherme Caras Altas Duarte Pinheiro Member of the Committee: Professor Vítor Faria e Sousa July 2015 In Memoriam “Godfather” Conny van Rietschoten Acknowledgements Firstly, THANK YOU to my parents and my grandparents for always encouraging me to do and to be better. Especially my extraordinary and lovely mom, for her dedication, for leading me to the right path, for accepting and supporting my decisions, always taught me to think positively and be strong, because “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass…it's about learning how to dance in the rain!” And my grandparents for educating me during my childhood and believing me. Although they are in Shanghai, but they have always supported me when I needed. And to Tiotio, I would like to thank him for all the support I have received since I moved to Portugal. When I first came to Portugal, I did not understand a single word in Portuguese, with my family´s support and a lot of hard work I managed to overcome the language barrier. Secondly, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisors, Professor Manuel Duarte Pinheiro and Professor Manuel Correia Guedes, for their exemplary guidance, patience and information provided throughout the course of this work.

    TRAVEL Burj Al Arab: The only 7-Star Hotel in the World by Engr. Chin Mee Poon, FIEM, P. Eng. ON our way back from Scotland, my wife and I stopped over at Dubai for three nights to see how much the place has progressed since our last visit in 2002. Dubai is a tiny emirate situated near the tip of a promontory of the Arabic Peninsula that separates the Persian Gulf from the Gulf of Oman. It is the second largest of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates, one of the richest Arabic countries. Before oil was discovered in the 1960s, Dubai was poor and its people lived a nomadic life in a desert environment. In less than half a century, the desert land on both sides of Another first is, of course, the well-known Burj Al Arab, the Dubai Creek has been transformed into a large oasis of often touted as the world’s only 7-star hotel. Built on an concrete jungle, and this oasis is still expanding with more artificial island in the vicinity of the luxurious 5-star Jumeirah giant structures shooting up to scrap the sky. Beach Hotel, this all-suite hotel is in the shape of a sail. It is estimated that 20% of the world’s tower cranes are At 321m, it is also the tallest hotel in the world. And with currently employed in Dubai. Of its population of about its cheapest suite going for about Dh3,500 (about RM3,500) a 1.5 million people, almost 80% are foreign workers from night, it is definitely the most expensive hotel in the world.
