effect of number of people and exit width on emergency evacuation time study case tabriz seghatol islam mosque

Here we observed effect of number of people and exit width on emergency evacuation time by simulation using distinct element method DEM human body is modeled as a circular element in DEM analysis can compute the position of each person step by step by solving the equation of motion as a study case we considered tabriz seghatol islam mosque we considered two series of simulations with different exits width 1.4 m for series 1 and 2.8 m for series 2. for each series we did the simulation in 4 cases in which number of people were 690 , 920,1150 and 1380 for cases 1to 4 respectively.
