"The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate and enhance the technical basis of the procedure for evaluating lifesafety within the Building Firesafety Engineering Method (BFSEM). A framework for the analysis has been documented, but not extensively tested in a building situation. Hence, procedures to obtain the necessary input data and to evaluate that data needed to be developed. In addition, the general framework had to be tested rigorously enough to identify weaknesses. "

The analysis of an efficient evacuation of buildings to the street or refuge area was carried out, evaluating human behavior with models based on the agent, the influence of buildings and the urban parameters of the city with three-dimensional models (BIM) for a severe seismic scenario. The present article establishes that the maximum permissible height of buildings projected in a residential avenue is directly related to the width of the available refuge zone to guarantee the correct evacuation of said zone during a severe seismic event. In addition, an evaluation of a real existing scenario is made in a section of a residential avenue.

The safety evacuation from the fire affected building is the most imported thing, which is bound to the fire safety of building. The evacuation of persons is necessary process and procedure which can safe lives and health in the most of extraordinary event caused by fire of buildings or technologies. The typical efect attend fires set in buildings, which threaten persons, property and fire - fighting fire brigades. These threaten efects are products of combustion, flame, heat and deficiency of oxygen. I present the way how to use the fire safety devices in various types of buildings in my diploma work, above all towards to safety escape persons from the fire affected building. I describe the practical positive and also negative finding during installation and mutual coordination the fire safety devices.

La evolución es intrínseca en el ser humano y con nosotros evoluciona nuestro entorno. La industria de la construcción a manos de la necesidad del hombre, busca no solo un crecimiento horizontal territorial, sino también uno vertical. Sin embargo, esta proyección en las alturas se limita a una gestión plenamente espacial con poco interés en la capacidad de tránsito y zonas de refugio del agente humano durante un evento sísmico. Esta investigación realiza una evaluación de un escenario real existente del tramo de la avenida en estudio y el análisis de escenarios hipotéticos con variación del ancho de la zona de refugio. De este modo, se propone valores límite de altura y densidad poblacional de edificaciones para una Gestión Prospectiva del Riesgo Sísmico teniendo como ejemplo base un tramo de la Av. San Felipe en Lima-Perú. Se realizó el análisis de una evacuación eficiente de las edificaciones hacia la zona de refugio con modelos basados en el agente con el software Pathfinder, modelos tridimensionales (BIM), se analizó tiempos de evacuación, la influencia de las edificaciones, comportamiento humano y los parámetros urbanísticos zonales. Los resultados del presente trabajo establecen gráficamente la pertinente relación directa de la altura máxima permisible de los edificios proyectados con el ancho de la zona de refugio para una correcta evacuación. Como ejemplo se tiene un tramo de la Av. San Felipe con 7m de ancho de la zona de refugio correspondiente a 18 pisos como altura límite en los 10 edificios adyacentes considerando una longitud frontal total de 144m. / Evolution is intrinsic to human beings and our environment evolves with us. The construction industry at the hands of man's need, seeks not only a territorial horizontal growth, but also a vertical one. However, this projection in the heights is limited to a fully spatial management with little interest in the transit capacity and refuge areas of the human agent during a seismic event. This research carries out an evaluation of a real existing scenario of the section of the avenue under study and the analysis of hypothetical scenarios with variation in the width of the refuge area. In this way, limit values ​​of height and population density of buildings are proposed for a Prospective Management of Seismic Risk, taking as a base example a section of Av. San Felipe in Lima-Peru. The analysis of an efficient evacuation of the buildings towards the refuge area was carried out with models based on the agent with the Pathfinder software, three-dimensional models (BIM), evacuation times, the influence of the buildings, human behavior and the parameters were analyzed. zonal urban planning. The results of the present work graphically establish the pertinent direct relationship of the maximum permissible height of the projected buildings with the width of the refuge area for a correct evacuation. As an example, there is a section of Av. San Felipe with a 7m width of the refuge area corresponding to 18 floors as the limit height in the 10 adjacent buildings considering a total frontal length of 144m. / Tesis
