    Ramps provide sloping surfaces to connect floors and are commonly used in buildings like stadiums, stations, and garages where many people or vehicles move between levels. Ramps should have slopes of 10% or less and include safety features like handrails, slip-resistant surfaces, and landings every 10 meters. Design considerations for ramps include adequate width of at least 0.9 meters, protective handrails of 0.4 meters high, and tactile markings to indicate the ramp location for visually impaired people.

    RAMPS
    • Ramps are sloping surface that can be used to
    provide an easy connection from floor to
    floor,especially when large numbers of people or
    vehicles are moving from time to time.
    • Ramps are adopted for buildings,such as
    stadiums,railroad stations,exhibition halls,garage
    buildings,etc.
    • It is generally built with slopes upto 15% (15 cm in
    100 cm) but 10% is preferred.With 10% slope and
    storey height of 12 feet a ramp connecting two
    floors would have to be 120 feet long.

    MODULE 02 | 27 | 11 | 2021
    • It can be curved ,zig zagged,u-shaped or spiralled
    and bin. All cases should be constructed with a non-
    slip surface.
    DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

    • An exterior location is preferred for ramps. Indoor


    ramps are not recommended because they take up
    a great deal of space
    • Ideally, the entrance to a ramp should be
    immediately adjacent to the stairs.
    • Ramps configuration
    DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
    • Width
     The minimum width should be 0.90 m
    • Slope
    DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

    • Landings
     Ramps should be provided with landings for
    resting,maneuvering and avoiding excessive speed.
    Landings should be provided every 10 m, at every
    change of direction and at the top and bottom of
    every ramp.
    • Handrail
    A protective handrail of at least 0.40 m
    DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

    • Surface
    The ramp surface should be hard and non-slip.
    • Tactile Marking
    A coloured textural indication at the top and
    bottom of the ramp should be placed to alert
    sightless people as to the location of the ramp.
    The marking strip width should not be less than
    0.60 m
