RAMPS (cont.) <br /> • Surfaces to be stable, firm, and slip resistant and prevent the accumulation of water on walking surfaces. <br /> • Maximum slope 1:12, where the maximum rise for any run is 30 inches, cross slope of 1:48 or less. <br /> • Minimum 44"width measured between handrails. <br /> HANDRAILS <br /> • Provide 34"-38" high handrails at ramp runs greater than 6 inches. <br /> • Handrails to extend at least 12 inches beyond the top and bottom of any ramp run. <br /> • Handrails to be graspable circular shape between 1 %and 2 inches, typical. Other shapes per IBC 1012.3. <br /> • Gripping surface of handrail to be continuous without interruption by support or other obstructions. <br /> RAMP AND LANDING EDGE PROTECTION <br /> • A curb or barrier is required that prevents passage of a 4-inch sphere below the height of 4 inches for ramps <br /> without railings. When used, railings are required to have one of the following features: <br /> o An intermediate rail mounted 17-19 inches above the ramp or landing surface; <br /> o The surface of the ramp or landing extends 12 inches beyond the inside face of the r ailing. <br /> o Edge protection not required where the ramp rise is no more than 6 inches adjacent to grade, and <br /> ramp meets curb ramp requirements, subject to field inspection. <br /> 12 min 12 min <br /> 305 305 adjoining surface-� <br /> maximum slope \ 20 1 12 curh ramp maximum <br /> slope <br /> (a)Extended Surface (b)Curb or Barrier Fig.406.2 <br /> Counter Slope of Surfaces Adjacent to Curb Ramps <br /> Fig.405.9 <br /> GUARDS Ramp Edge Protection <br /> • Provide 42" high guards for portions of landings or ramp that are 36 min(915) <br /> more than 30 inches above adjacent grade. Section 406.7 <br /> • Guard openings should not allow a 4 inch sphere to pass, except •48"in Public <br /> as noted in IBC section 1013.3. Right of way <br /> CURB RAMPS <br /> • Curb ramps (36" minimum width; 48"width in Public R/W) and flared sides <br /> (1:10 maximum slope) should not be obstructed by parked vehicles or project <br /> into parking or parking access aisles. <br /> • Three foot long landings (48" in Public R/W) should be provided at the tops of flared sides 1:10 max slope <br /> curb ramps, the full width of the ramp. <br /> c Alternative: flared sides should not exceed 1:12.
