【 摘 要 】

As China has entered the aging society, most of the buildings are concern to the use of elderly. When fire occurs in crowded places, the elderly casualties will take up larger proportion. However, current residential design code did not made special targeted requirements of this kind of buildings in construction standards and building design for there is a lack of elderly building security legal documents and data support. To solve this problem, it is considered the provisions of the building height restrictions from the perspective of construction safety in the revision process of Code for design of residential building for the aged. The purpose is from the angle of architecture and improves the elderly living safety to reduce fire evacuation process in risk. Furthermore, the building plane complexity and other internal factors will also become an important factor affecting the evacuation. This study focus on the tall residential buildings, several different numerical simulations are carried out to clarify the main influence factors of evacuation in elderly concentrated buildings and to provide data support for the architectural design and standard formulation.
