Evacuation Methods During Fire in High-Rise Buildings: A Review
High-rise buildings possess many unique challenges when compared with other low-rise buildings like complexity in evacuation, smoke movement, fire controlling, etc., because of its structure and population density. The literature review of the fire evacuation occurring in the high-rise buildings is being done with the objective to determine behavioral patterns and different aspects that affect the efficiency of the evacuation process. Current methods and strategies, which are currently in use, are comprehensively analyzed. Both the human behavioral patterns and strategic techniques put into practice are included. Various categories of building types are being considered, namely health care facilities, residential buildings, and office buildings. The analysis of egress elements includes the use of elevators, stairs, and other aids of escape like sky bridges, choppers, etc. The use of building and the population residing within the building affects the effectiveness of the egress elements. The effectiveness of various evacuation strategies, which are put into practice, depends on the flexibility of different egress components. The study also involves the effects of fatigues during evacuation and effects of building height increase. The evacuation strategies impact on the staff response, group response and how the physically disabled persons are taken into consideration.
