3.1 Vignette - Stair, Ramp, Roof

Postby siza » Sat Mar 24, 2018 6:42 pm

Try BDCS 3.1 Vignette. No program info. Assumed the program requirements are similar to 4.0, such Area of refuge on the 2nd floor in Stair Vignette required / Ramp and stairs both required in the ramp vignette. All stairs and ramps were 5' in width. question: 1. should ground floor exit space at the lobby door, under the stair, be increased? 5' was shown in the drawing. (2) Should railing be continuous at the 3" Landing?

BDCS exam is scheduled for Monday 03/26. Thanks each of you who have reviewed and provided comments on my vignette practices.

See attachment.

All stairs and ramps were 5' in width.

That might be a deduct in stair vignette.

question: 1. should ground floor exit space at the lobby door, under the stair, be increased? 5' was shown in the drawing.

5' maneuvering space required.

(2) Should railing be continuous at the 3" Landing?

Which vignette are you talking about?

Stair
Can't tell if top landing is large enough. Leave sketch elements on for posting.

Ramp
Egress narrows at base of stair.
Delete north rail at 3" landing.
11" landing requires clear turning circle.
Hold rails 2" off walls and edges.

Roof
Sheds and hips not recommended.
Low roof doesn't work.
Clerestory in wrong wall.
