Abstract
A building response function defining a response of a building to specific environmental change, e.g., occurrence of a fire, in terms of the building structure, is stored in a computer. Also stored is a refuge motion function defining the refuge motion of individuals in terms of attributes of the individuals and the building response. The building response is computed by substituting design values of the building structure into the response function. Attributes of persons are inputted to the computer, and individuals' refuge motion is computed by using both inputted attributes and the computed building response. With the inputted and computed values, three-dimensional (3D) simulation images of the building structure, of the building response, and of individuals' refuge motion are computed. Then, a superposed 3D simulation image of the three images is displayed to facilitate analysis of the building performance.
