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.

This trend appeared on the construction market along with the progress of advanced struc- tural solutions and the high demand for luxury apartments with spectacular views. Two types of constructions can be distinguished within this typology: ultra-luxury super-slim towers with the exclusivity of one or two apartments per floor (e.g. located in Manhattan, New York) and other slender high-rise towers, built in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Melbourne, among others, which have multiple apartments on each floor. This paper presents a survey of selected slender high-rise buildings, where structural improvements in tall buildings developed over the recent decade are considered from the architectural and structural view.

Dubai World, owned by the Dubai government, had announced a 6-month moratorium on payments of some of its $60 billion in debt.
