Abstract

Abstract: In order to reveal the characteristics of super high-rise building evacuation, a vertical evacuation experiment was carried out in the Shanghai Tower, in which the testees walked down from the 126^th floor to the first floor.The results show that to evacuate downwardly 124 layers (573.82 m), the shortest evacuation time is less than 20 min, the average evacuation time is (36±6.04)min, the average vertical evacuation speed is (0.287±0.080)m/s, and the vertical evacuation speed under congested condition is (0.248 ±0.034)m/s, and that congestion, gender, physical strength and age are the key factors influencing the super high-rise building evacuation.

Key words: super high-rize building, evacuation characteristics, experiment, jam, vertical evacuation speed
