Relation between The Architectural Design and Fire safety Evacuation: The case of High-rise Residential Buildings-Bengaluru, India
The safety of those who reside in tall residential buildings has become a crucial concern, particularly in considering incidents including the London Grenfell Tower disaster. The primary focus of current research is to evaluate the qualitative elements of fire safety measures and escape routes in Bengaluru's high-rise residential complexes, which are marked by a steady increase in urbanization and distinctive fire safety issues. Although the National Building Code (NBC) offers a theoretical framework for building structures free from significant fire hazards, the research found that this is more of a wish than a reality because of increasing gap between providers and end users. This result adheres with even the most basic NBC regulations, making buildings extremely vulnerable to fire incidents. Five high-rise residential structures in Bengaluru are subject of research. To identify particular shortcomings in operational and architectural integrity of fire safety, research utilizes conventional methods and questionnaire evaluation. The researcher employed a variety of research tools, including checklists that had been developed especially for the research, observational checklists that utilized while researcher was on site, "and qualitative analysis of the residents behavior during fire incidents. These issues include" inadequate exits, insufficient fire safety precautions, and inattention and blindness in public spaces. Additionally, architectural flaws include faulty placement of fire suppression equipment, inadequate or nonexistent maintenance of fire safety amenities, and the lack of suitable labeling indicating exit locations. Given that many residents prioritize their belongings over evacuation, their actions add layers to the evacuation procedures. The research in concern emphasizes the necessity of a comprehensive approach to fire safety management, which takes into account elements like resident training, legislative actions, and upgraded architectural solutions. High-rise residential structures can be ...
