Abstract

Fire has a high load value and is easy to spread in the underground commercial space. Meanwhile the space has a high occupant density and people in it are difficult to evacuate. So it is easy to cause serious casualties. To this end, this paper first takes a certain underground commercial plaza for example and makes a high-fidelity simulation of dynamic evacuation based on the use of building EXODUS. And then according to the simulation results, it makes evacuation scene design and puts forward three kinds of improvement suggestions. The simulation results shown that the evacuation time is shortened by 7.63%, 32.92% and nearly 15% respectively and the total evacuation time reduces by nearly 10%. It provides some references for personnel safety evacuation design in underground commercial space. Of course, there is still room for further optimization of the evacuation design. But this optimization design should be synchronized with architectural design based on architectural structure, convenience, economy and normalization.
