Egress Complexity Of A Building
1994
IAFSS - The International Association for Fire Safety Science : proceedings
Preserved Fulltext
Any multi-compartment building may be regarded as a complex object or structure. The present Fire Safety literature does not yet offer a model to compare two or more of these structures with respect to EGRESS COMPLEXITY. This paper formalises an approach to resolve this problem and outlines the calculation of appropriate values using a defined algorithm. An ENTROPY measure is generated for network representations of buildings to reflect complexity. The calculation procedure is illustrated for
