A Study on the Efficiency of Evacuation Exterior Stairs in High-rise Buildings

요약
건축법 시행령 제36조에는 3층 이상의 건축물로 문화 및 집회시설 중 공연장이나 위락시설로 바닥면적이 1천 $m^2$ 이상인 건축물은 옥외피난계단을 설치하도록 하고 있다. 도시의 인구집중화와 함께 고층빌딩의 증가는 인적재난에 대한 다양한 대비책을 요구하고 있다. 최근 10년 동안 고층빌딩 증가율은 85%로 급등하였다. 이러한 고층빌딩의 증가는 도시지역의 인적재난으로 이어져 화재발생 시 많은 인명피해와 재산피해를 동반한다. 고층빌딩에서 화재가 발생하였을 때 가장 어려운 소방활동이 피난활동이다. 상층으로 확산되는 연기 때문에 고층빌딩에서의 피난로 확보는 인명피해를 최소화 시키는 유일한 방법이다. 고층빌딩에서 직통계단이나 옥내계단으로는 피난로 확보가 어려워 고층빌딩 일수록 옥외피난계단이 필요하다. 옥외피난계단 설치에 관한 현행 법규는 너무 미미(微微)하여 고층빌딩의 피난로 확보대책으로는 적당치 못하다. 고층빌딩의 피난로 확보를 위하여 고층빌딩군(群)의 분류에 해당되는 10층 이상의 건축물에는 옥외피난계단 설치를 의무화하도록 관련법을 개정토록 하여야 한다.
Abstract
Article 36 of the Building Code Enforcement Ordinance requires that an exterior evacuation stairs be installed for the buildings of three stories and over with cultural facilities or gathering places which have over $1,000;m^2$ floor area of public performance halls or recreational facilities. The concentration of population together with the increase of high-rise buildings in cities call for various precautionary measures to be taken against human disasters. For the past ten years high-rise buildings showed 85% of increase, marking a steep rise. This increase of high-rise buildings may lead to human disasters in urban areas and, in case of fire breakout, may cause great loss of human lives and property damages. The most difficult fire-fighting activities in high-rise building fires are those of evacuation. Because smoke spreads through the upper floors, the securement of evacuation route in high-rise buildings may be the only way to minimize loss of lives. In high-rise buildings exterior escape stairs are necessary because it is difficult to secure evacuation route with only direct stairs or interior stairs. The Building Code now in force provides insignificant coverage on the exterior evacuation route installment and therefore becomes an inadequate means for evacuation route securement in high-rise building fires. To compensate for this inadequacy the Building Code should be revised to include a mandatory clause that an exterior evacuation stairs be established for the buildings of ten stories and over which can be categorized into high-rise building group.
Key Words: Human disaster, High-Rise Building, Evacuation Exterior Stairs, Fire-fighting activities, Evacuation route
