Course Description: AEC Daily: Pre-Engineered Steel Stair Systems
Stairs are an essential component of a movement and wayfinding strategy in a structure and a primary means of egress, exit, and floor-to-floor access in the event of a fire or emergency for buildings with multiple floors or a change in rise. This course discusses stair and egress system design and evaluates why the design and fabrication of pre-engineered steel stairs create safe stair environments that comply with building codes.
Explain the benefits of the preassembled metal stair design and fabrication process and show how it ensures a safe, efficient, and durable stairway installation.
Discuss the importance of designing safe and code-compliant stairs by identifying the safety and dimension details to be addressed and building code requirements.
Identify the potential hazards of stair design to building occupants and discuss key performance requirements of the stairway and its components.
Summarize how metal stairs are classified according to type and class.
Discuss basics of egress system design and the sizing of stairs to ensure occupants can escape a building safely.
