Residential Building Evacuation-Simulation of Potential
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Unpublished © Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat / Georges Binder The “International” Skyscraper: Observations While using tall buildings data, the following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. -

Michigan Ave. (1928; Holabird & Roche/Holabird & Root) The 333 NORTH MICHIGAN BUILDING is one of the city's most outstanding Art Deco-style skyscrapers. It is one of four buildings surrounding the Michigan A venue Bridge that defines one of the city' s-and nation' s-finest urban spaces. The building's base is sheathed in polished granite, in shades of black and purple. Its upper stories, which are set back in dramatic fashion to correspond to the city's 1923 zoning ordinance, are clad in buff-colored limestone and dark terra cotta. The building's prominence is heightened by its unique site. Due to the jog of Michigan Avenue at the bridge, the building is visible the length of North Michigan Avenue, appearing to be located in the center of the street. ABOVE: The 333 North Michigan Building was one of the first skyscrapers to take advantage of the city's 1923 zoning ordinance, which encouraged the construction of buildings with setback towers. This photograph was taken from the cupola of the London Guarantee Building. COVER: A 1933 illustration, looking south on Michigan Avenue.

Social Media and Popular Places: the Case of Chicago Kheir Al-Kodmany†
International Journal of High-Rise Buildings International Journal of June 2019, Vol 8, No 2, 125-136 High-Rise Buildings https://doi.org/10.21022/IJHRB.2019.8.2.125 www.ctbuh-korea.org/ijhrb/index.php Social Media and Popular Places: The Case of Chicago Kheir Al-Kodmany† Department of Urban Planning and Policy, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Abstract This paper offers new ways to learn about popular places in the city. Using locational data from Social Media platforms platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, along with participatory field visits and combining insights from architecture and urban design literature, this study reveals popular socio-spatial clusters in the City of Chicago. Locational data of photographs were visualized by using Geographic Information Systems and helped in producing heat maps that showed the spatial distribution of posted photographs. Geo-intensity of photographs illustrated areas that are most popularly visited in the city. The study’s results indicate that the city’s skyscrapers along open spaces are major elements of image formation. Findings also elucidate that Social Media plays an important role in promoting places; and thereby, sustaining a greater interest and stream of visitors. Consequently, planners should tap into public’s digital engagement in city places to improve tourism and economy. Keywords: Social media, Iconic socio-spatial clusters, Popular places, Skyscrapers 1. Introduction 1.1. Sustainability: A Theoretical Framework The concept of sustainability continues to be of para- mount importance to our cities (Godschalk & Rouse, 2015). Planners, architects, economists, environmentalists, and politicians continue to use the term in their conver- sations and writings. -

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. -

LEAVITT, Administrator ) of the United States Environmental ) Protection Agency, and THE UNITED ) STATES ENVIRONMENTAL ) PROTECTION AGENCY, ) ) Defendants. ) PLAINTIFF’S SUGGESTIONS IN OPPOSITION TO THE MOTION TO INTERVENE OF THE ASSOCIATION OF METROPOLITAN SEWERAGE AGENCIES AND THE URBAN AREAS COALITION Plaintiff Missouri Coalition for the Environment (“MCE”) files this opposition to the motion to intervene of the Association of Metropolitan Sewerage Agencies and the Urban Areas Coalition (the “Associations”). The Associations move for both intervention as of right and permissive intervention. MCE opposes both grounds of the motion. MCE does not dispute the general requirements for intervention as of right set forth on page four of the Associations’ Suggestions in Support. However, as further explained below, MCE opposes the motion to intervene as of right on the grounds that it was not timely and that it failed to demonstrate that the Associations have a recognized interest that stands to be impaired by the outcome of this litigation. MCE does not dispute the general requirements for permissive intervention set forth on page fourteen of the Associations’ Suggestions in Support, but adds that the timeliness requirement also applies to motions for permissive intervention. MCE opposes the motion for permissive intervention on the grounds that it was untimely and that such intervention would unduly delay and prejudice the adjudication of MCE’s claims. I. The Associations’ Motion Should be Denied on the Ground that it was Untimely.
