Abstract

Recently in Korea, in order to ensure evacuation safety within buildings, reviewing and evacuation assessment using computer simulations has been performed from the planning and design stages. Since the results from the assessment mainly depends on the initial values of input elements, it is important to establish element specific data. Nevertheless evacuation related experiments and research are still insufficient to apply overseas standards to domestic conditions. This study intended to conduct a experiment on evacuation movement speed by age as part of element-specific data construction for domestic occupant movement speed. After analyzing domestic and overseas studies on evacuation movement speed, we conducted the experiment of evacuation movement speed for 134 people. Then, by carrying out a comparative analysis of the results of the movement speed obtained from the experiment with overseas movement speeds, we followed the validation procedures of the experimental results under domestic evacuation conditions. The data derived from the experiment is expected to serve as a basis for the movement speed of domestic evacuation safety assessment.

최근 건축물 내의 피난안전성을 확보하고자 계획 및 설계단계부터 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 활용한 검토와 피난평가를 수행하고 있다. 이러한 평가는 초기입력요소에 따라 결과 값이 달라지기에 무엇보다 요소별 Data구축이 중요하지만, 국내는 피난관련 실험 및 연구가 미흡해 대부분이 국외기준을 준용하고 있는 게 현실이다. 이에 본 연구는 국내 재실자 이동속도 Data 구축의 목적으로 연령별 피난이동속도실험을 수행 분석해 보았다. 먼저 국내외 피난이동속도 관련 연구를 분석했으며 국내인 134명을 상대로 피난이동속도 실험을 시행하였다. 이를 바탕으로 실험으로 도출된 이동속도 결과치와 기존의 국외 이동속도와 비교 분석하여 국내피난상황과의 검토 및 확인절차를 실시하였다. 앞으로 이렇게 도출된 실험 Data는 국내 피난안정성평가의 이동속도 관련 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 판단된다.
