Guys
I have a open stairwell and 2 closed stariwell. I have to exhaust smoke out through the corridor and was trying to estimate force required to open the door of closed stariwell. The open stariwell is open from 2nd to 10 levels in a 15 storey building. The volume of smoke to be extracted is 60m3/s. Anybody have any idea from where to start and how to check the force required to open the door in case of fire.
Regards.
