Ramp Vignette- ARE 3.1- Testing on Monday

Postby mofakham » Thu Feb 22, 2018 9:19 pm

Hi Coach and all,

Please check my ramp vignette below.

Two questions;
I eliminated the railing for the first portion of the ramp since it is only 6" raise.
Is the landing by the exit corridor acceptable?

Thanks!

you still need guardrails.

No. Stair reduces existing egress width. Maintain width until both ramp and stair are accessible.

6" landing requires clear turning circle. Even though east rail is not required for bottom run, I recommend providing it anyway so that you can use continuous rails. Basically, I would simply ignore the no rail required part of the code.
