Abstract
The design and detailing of an emergency exit steel tower for an industrial building focuses on providing a safe, stable, and code-compliant evacuation system during emergencies such as fires, explosions, or other hazardous situations. The structure is carefully planned to withstand various loads, including dead load, live load, wind load, and seismic forces, following the guidelines of ASCE 7.Fire and life safety requirements recommended by NFPA and OSHA are incorporated to ensure proper stair dimensions, adequate landing space, and safe guardrail and handrail arrangements. All structural components—such as columns, beams, bracings, stair stringers, and connections—are designed to meet strength, stability, and serviceability requirements.Special attention is given to corrosion protection, fire resistance, proper foundation anchorage, and ease of construction. These considerations help improve the durability and long-term performance of the structure.Overall, the final design ensures a reliable, safe, and efficient emergency evacuation system that meets industrial safety standards.
