Collaborative Research: Project IBORC: Interaction between Building and Occupant Responses during Collapse

合作研究：IBORC项目：倒塌期间建筑物和居住者反应之间的相互作用摘要该项目的主要目标是进行多学科调查？在结构工程、社会科学和计算机科学的交汇点上？在威胁建筑物完整性的危害事件期间和之后，建筑物居住者如何对建筑物发出的信号做出反应。其他次要目标是调查：1)受害者的反应如何受到他们在事件发生时的社会条件的影响；以及2)建筑物？S结构体系对建筑物倒塌反应和居住者存活率的影响。将开发计算模拟模型来表示建筑物倒塌，并将使用基于代理的模型(ABM)来模拟建筑物模型中的人的反应。将寻求现有的信息，以努力制定管理人类在极端危险时期的反应的基本规则。开发的模型将通过与涉及建筑物倒塌的有充分记录的事件进行比较来校准和验证。然后，开发的模型将用于通过广泛的参数模拟来阐明建筑物居住者在紧急情况下的反应。这些模型还将用于调查建筑物是如何倒塌的，并确定减轻建筑物倒塌及其影响的方法。该项目将培养具有跨学科研究技能的新一代研究人员。该项目将进一步促进最先进的危险研究，开发可作为公共教育和意识计划的基础的知识，以帮助建筑物居住者、他们的救援人员和城市官员在极端事件中做出适当反应。

Collaborative Research: Project IBORC: Interaction between Building and Occupant Responses during Collapse Abstract The primary objective of this project is to conduct a multidisciplinary investigation ? at the intersection of structural engineering, social science, and computer science ? of how building occupants respond to signals issued by a building during and immediately after a compromising event that threatens its integrity. Other secondary objectives are to investigate: 1) how the response of victims is modulated by their social conditions at the time of the incident; and 2) the influence of a building?s structural system on building collapse response and occupant survival rates. Computational simulation models will be developed to represent building collapse and Agent Based Models (ABMs) will be used to model human response within the building models. Existing information will be sought in an effort to formulate basic rules that govern human response during times of extreme danger. The developed models will be calibrated and validated by comparisons to well documented events that involved building collapse. The developed models will then be used to clarify how building occupants respond during emergencies through extensive parametric simulations. The models will also be used to investigate how buildings collapse and to identify the means by which to mitigate building failure and its effects. This project will lead to the education of a new generation of researchers skilled in inter-disciplinary research. The project will furthermore contribute to the state-of-the-art in hazards research by developing knowledge that could form the basis of public education and awareness programs to help building occupants, their rescuers and city officials respond appropriately during extreme events.
