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.

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.

The lead story provided an unexpected relevance to the trip --- my first to Dubai. Dubai World, owned by the Dubai government, had announced a 6-month moratorium on payments of some of its $60 billion in debt. Since the announcement, stock markets have been dropping and recovering, company officials have attempted to calm borrowers and government officials have provided less assurance than Dubai’s investors might have preferred, though richer, neighboring Abu Dhabi backstopped Dubai with $10 billion in December. The United Arab Emirates: Dubai is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which like the United States and Canada is a federation. Broadly speaking, the emirates are as states or provinces. By far the richest is Abu Dhabi, with something like 10% of the world’s oil reserves.

ITTLE explanation is required of the arrangement followed in this Volume, beyond calling L attention to the division of this Volume into two parts: the first forms a combined Index to the three Volumes of the Memoirs, the Special Papers, the Jerusalem Volume, the Flora and Fauna of Palestine, and the Geological Survey; and the second is an Index to the Arabic and English Name Lists. This division was considered advisable in order to avoid the continual use of reference letters to the Name Lists, which would otherwise have been required. The large number of entries rendered it absolutely necessary to make them as brief as possible; but it is hoped that it will be found that perspicuity has not been sacrificed to brevity. A full explanation of the reference letters used will be found on the first page. The short Hebrew Index at the end of the Volume has been kindly furnished by Dr. W. Aldis Wright. H. C. S.

    Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation José Aragüez Columbia University Fred Levrat Studio_Summer 2008 06/16/2008 Dubai Marina_Critical Approach Introduction Comparable to the most exclusive waterfront developments in the world's leading cities, the marina will contain over 200 high‐rise buildings and comprise of an area of 50 million square feet. Upon completion it will be the world’s largest man made marina. It was carved along a 3.34km (2 mile) stretch of Dubai's shoreline and is a mixed‐use canal‐city inspired in the Venetian tradition. It will accommodate over 120 thousand people in their luxury apartment towers and villas, with a unique waterfront view. Dubai Marina is the center of Dubai’s new, fast paced business hub. The Marina’s neighbors include Internet City, where the region’s news and other communication professionals have made their home including Microsoft and Reuters, the renowned American University in Dubai, as well as, the forward‐thinking Knowledge Village. Dubai Marina is also conveniently close to Emaar Business Park and Jebel Ali Free Zone. In the Dubai Marina numerous skyscrapers are under developement. Most towers are mid range skyscrapers between 150 and over 200 meters tall. Already today it can be assumed that it will have one of the world‐wide largest high‐rise densities, comparable to Hong Kong and Manhattan. These skyscrapers over 300 meters height are either finished or are under construction: Infinity Tower: with 330 meters it will be the highest skyscraper, which has a 90º twist in the design. Princess Tower: this tower with 414 meters will be the highest residential building of the world.
