GENERAL REQUIREMENTS<\/p>\n
See Standard Section 1: General Requirements<\/p>\n

DEFINITIONS<\/p>\n
2.1. Pedestrian ramp is a sloping accessible route intended for pedestrian traffic<\/p>\n
to and from a unit.<\/p>\n
2.2. Slope is the relative steepness of the land between two points and is<\/p>\n
calculated as follows: Slope is the horizontal distance and elevation change<\/p>\n
between the two points. The difference in elevation is divided by the distance<\/p>\n
and the resulting fraction is multiplied by 100 to obtain the percentage of<\/p>\n
slope.<\/p>\n
2.3. Cross slope is the slope that is perpendicular to the direction of travel.<\/p>\n
2.4.Level area is a specified surface that does not have a slope in any direction<\/p>\n
exceeding 4 inch (6.4 mm) in 1 foot (305 mm) from the horizontal (2.083<\/p>\n
gradient).<\/p>\n
3.0<\/p>\n
SPECIFICATIONS<\/p>\n
3.1. Materials Concrete with a minimum 3.5 inches pour; and heavy broom-<\/p>\n
swept finish on the surface.<\/p>\n
3.2.Exterior ramps<\/p>\n

inches (914mm). Handrails, curbs, wheel guides and \/or<\/p>\n
appurtenances shall not project into the required clear width of a ramp.<\/p>\n
3.2.2,<\/p>\n
Slope. The maximum slope of ramps shall be no greater than 1 unit<\/p>\n
