In this study, we present new insights on the downward evacuation speed on long-distance stairs by experiment and modelling. First, long-distance down stairs experiments are carried out, in which the goal distance, rest, and partnering or not are used as control factors. Second, a speed formula that indicates how the speed decreases as accumulated distance and how much does the speed increase after the rest is defined according to the experimental results. Furthermore, an evacuation model with dynamic speed (Evac-DS model) for super high-rise buildings is built, in which the pedestrian's speed is determined by the factors considered in the defined formula, such as expected evacuation distance, evacuation time, rest time, goal distance, and partnering or not. The results show that whether in scenarios where pedestrians move alone or in pairs, the trend of speed changes in the evacuation process on long-distance stairs predicted by the Evac-DS model closely matches the experiment. Finally, the Evac-DS model is used to simulate the evacuation process in Shanghai Tower with 580m height, and the predicted speed is compared with the evacuation drill data, as well as two other models: one assuming a constant speed and another where speed decreases linearly with distance. The results indicate that the Evac-DS model can effectively predict the evacuation time and the variation of pedestrian's evacuation speed in actual super high-rise buildings. This study may be a key step in understanding the nonlinear changes in speed during long-distance stairs evacuation, and provide scientific reference and support for both theoretical research and model applications related to pedestrian evacuation in the stairwells of super high-rise buildings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49518,"journal":{"name":"Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory","volume":"140 ","pages":"Article 103083"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143094699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Performance tests indicate that the 3D GPU-parallelized CDEM achieves a computational speed 645.31 times faster than a single-core serial CDEM code, significantly boosting computational efficiency. The simulation results of rock fracturing were demonstrated through a single-borehole blasting simulation in granite. Material parameters for granite were calibrated using 3D Brazilian and uniaxial compression tests. Comparisons with experimental data demonstrated that the simulation effectively replicated the observed crack patterns. However, discrepancies were noted in stress wave attenuation, and significant errors in crack density were observed across different sections, which may be attributed to variations in loading methods. These comparisons indicate that the proposed model can simulate the entire process of explosive-induced fracturing with substantial improvements in computational efficiency. Nonetheless, further enhancements in accuracy are necessary.

In addition, by comparing the simulated values with the results of mercury intrusion, water absorption and uniaxial compression tests, the rationality of the proposed model has been validated. Furthermore, the relationships between the saturation coefficients and the mechanical parameters of rock samples are researched, and the moisture distribution characteristics of rock samples and their impacts on the meso mechanical parameters under water absorption, evaporation and closed boundary conditions are studied, as well as the evolution of the number of microcracks in rock samples during uniaxial compression tests. The research results indicate that the strength and stiffness parameters of the particle elements exhibit non-linear degradation with increasing saturation coefficient. With the same saturation coefficient, the degradation degree of the uniaxial compressive strength and elastic modulus of the sample during the evaporation process is usually greater than that of the sample during the saturation process. Compared with that in the low-saturation samples, the number of cracks in the high-saturation samples significantly increased under water absorption conditions.

However, traditionally, operation management in general and truck dispatching, in particular, focused primarily on production targets and operational efficiency, neglecting environmental considerations in open-pit mines. Nowadays, growing awareness of climate change and responsible resource extraction has shifted, however, the focus towards sustainable practices throughout the mining industry, open-pit mining not excluded.
