A Study on the Travel Distance and Exit Width for Securing Efficient Evacuation

With increasing industrialization, large-scale, complex, and high-rise buildings are under way; therefore, Korea's building fire-fighting laws need to be modified ensure the use of active measures backed by performance-based design. However, current standard domestic design is weaker than that overseas standards for fire scenarios other specific conditions. In this study, foreign simulations were reviewed determine criteria walking distance entrance width a reasonable safe evacuation time in event an situation.
