Abstract：The issue of emergency evacuation in high-rise buildings is a major concern of public safety. E-vacuation simulation is an important way to research evacuation behaviors. As per Marchant's theory on evacua-tion and escape and combined the practical case, Pathfinder software is employed to simulate the behavior of pe-destrians′evacuations, to conduct the holistic study of the personnel evacuation in high-rise office buildings. Starting up with the process and steps of modeling, the evacuation mode selection, preferences and the time order analyzing, the simulation of evacuations from rooms, floors and the whole building are conducted respectively, and based on which recommendations to the design of evacuation in high-rise buildings are suggested.
