Abstract
Modern high-rise residential buildings are facilities designed for the residence of a great number of people (men, women, kids, the disabled). With a great increase in the human population in cities, there is a lack of space which is the cause of ever-larger and taller buildings. This is especially characteristic of residential buildings. New technologies enable the construction of high-rise buildings with impressive architectural solutions and a very big number of tenants. However, the larger and the higher these facilities are, the more complicated they are to evacuate. Every residential building can be compromised by a variety of factors: fire, explosion, terrorism, earthquake, or else. Very often, partial or complete evacuation of tenants must be carried out. This paper was written to show the importance of analysing all possible factors and using all available resources to predict evacuation situations and protect human lives and material values as much as possible. The prediction of evacuation situations in this paper was realized by simulation.
