INTERNATIONAL BUILDING
CODE (IBC)
MEANS OF EGRESS
Building classification : R2
Occupant load 200 gross ( 18.58 m2 )

NUMBER OF EXITS
For one exit floors the number of units cannot ex -
ceed 4 units
For occupant load 1 -500 2 exits are required ( the
rest of the tower )

EGRESS TRAVEL DISTANCE

Maximum common path of egress travel
distance = 38.1 m

STAIRS SIZING
7.6 mm per occupant
No. of user = area/occupant load
First 7 floors 1700 m2
1700/18.58=91 per floor

_-
9 Ix7.6 mm = 691 mm per floor

14 floors 1000 m 2
1000/18.58=53 users
53x7.6 mm = 402mm per floor

14 -23 floors 580 m2

580/15.58 = 31 users
31x7.6 mm = 235.6 mm per floor
VERTICAL CIRCULATION
Min . Stairs 1200 mm
Head min. 2.14 m

ENTRANCE RAMP
1 landicapped ramp max. Slope 1:20
Max. Length 9 m
Width 1800 mm

ELEVATORS
Recommended elevator size 1800 mmxI800 mm
Recommended door size lor residential 1000 mm
Recommended elevator capacity 1150 kg
Recommended elevator type : gearless traction elevator

ELEVATOR REQUIREMENT

HANDLING CAPACITY
HC = ( 300/T ) P
where HC = handling capacity of car, persons in 5 min or 300 s
P = car capacity, persons
T = round - trip time of car, s

THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF ELEVATORS REQUIRED

N = V / HC = Vi / 300 P
V= peak traffic , persons in 5 min

USED VALUES
Evening is the peak in residential building
Take 5% to 8% peak traffic of the buildings occupants
interval 50 to 70 s

TO CALCULATE T
T2 estimated travel time = 2* H / V T3 estimated door time = K* ( A + 1)
Hrtravel height ( m ) K (s) opening and closing time of door
V: rated speed ( m/ s) Ap probable stoppage of car

T2 estimated waste time=( A + l )*V/ y T4 estimated passenger time = K2*P*CLF

A probable stoppage of the car K2 (s) transfer time in and out
V rated speed ( m / s) P ( persons) car rated load factor ( assume 0.8)
y acceleration/decceleration ( M / sA 2 )

CONSIDERATIONS

SEQUENTIAL ZONING
separating the building into
zones and providing elevators M
dedicated for each zone is a
more efficient elevators layout

THE ARCHITECTURAL EXPERIENCE
Special elevators like panoramic elevators can
be utilized provide a better architectural
to
experience through the building
