GUARDRAILS• 30” above floor or grade below on open-sided walking surfaces.• On open sides of stairs with a total riser of more than 30” above the floor or grade below.• Measurement for the 30” drop is to be taken at any point within 36” from the edge of the open surface.• Minimum 42” AFF PAGE 9

HANDRAILS EXTENSION• 12” horizontally beyond top stair riser.• Handrail shall extend at the slope of the stair flight for a horizontal distance equal to one tread depth beyond the last riser.• Return to wall, guard or the walking surface or continuous to the handrail of an adjacent stair flight PAGE 10

RAMPS• IRC - Handrails required on at least one side of ramps exceeding a slope of 1:12• IBC - Handrails required on both sides of stairs and ramps• Maximum 30” rise• If rise exceeds 6” or a horizontal length more than 72”.• Wheel stop < 4” gap• 12” rail extension at top and bottom PAGE 11

IBC 2009 -STRUCTURAL LOADINGREQUIREMENTSPer section 1607.7 handrails and guardrailsshall be designed to resist:• 50 lbs. / Linear foot applied in any direction at the top• Concentrated load of 200 lbs., applied in any direction at any point along the top• 50 lbs. / 1 sq.ft. at in-fill (except handrail) PAGE 13

REQUIREMENTS FOR STRUCTURAL GLASS RAILING• Glass shall be monolithic or laminated, fully tempered, heat strengthened• The panels and their support system shall be designed to withstand the uniform or concentrated load requirements, applied at the top, by a design factor of 4 for safety.• If the top rail is only supported by glass, the assembly shall be tested according to the impact requirements in ASTM E 1996. The impacted glass shall be able to support the top rail after impact.• A top rail shall not be required where the glass balusters are laminated glass with two or more glass plies of equal thickness and the same glass type when approved by the building official. The panels shall be designed to withstand the structural load as required by code.• IBC 2015 update - Laminated, tempered glass is required in all glass railing applications. PAGE 14
