Kitchener, Ontario Agent for the Applicant Mr. Glen D. Good Deputy Chief Building Official City of Kitchener Designate for Respondent
2 -2- RULING 1. The Applicant Mr. Christian Wingelaar, Waterloo, Ontario, has received a building permit under the Building Code Act, 1992 and has constructed a new detached dwelling at Lot 9, 2121 Hidden Valley Crescent, Kitchener, Ontario. 2. Description of Construction The Applicant has recently constructed a new single detached dwelling, one storey in building height and less than 600 m 2 in building area. The building is to be used as the principal residence of the Zinger family. At the request of the owners, the stairs and guards in the subject house were custom built. The Applicant, the general contractor, contracted out the construction of the stairs and guards to a custom builder. There are two areas of construction in dispute. The first involves the design and structural integrity of the guard serving stairs that connect the ground floor of the dwelling to the basement level. The guard is also installed on the ground floor to protect the elliptical opening for the subject stair assembly. The balusters that make up the guard are solid acrylic rods, spaced at 100 mm (4 in) on centre and are secured into the wooden handrail at the top and into each stair tread at the bottom. The acrylic rods are 35 mm (1 3/8 in) in diameter and are embedded 50 mm (2 in) into the stair and 38 mm (1 ½ in) into the railing. The second issue at dispute involves the design of the aforementioned stair. Described as providing access to egress, the proposed 17 riser stair has a modified curved design. As part of this unique design, the stair treads do not radiate from a common point nor are the curved stringers parallel to one another throughout the stair run. In fact, as the stairs descend they become wider. The width between stringers at the top of the stairs is 1,118 mm (44 in) and at the bottom is 1,486 mm (58 ½ in). As well, the second, third and fourth lower most stairs have elliptical nosing, i.e., they are slightly bowed or outward projecting. The minimum run of the individual stairs, ranging between and mm (8.12 and 8.13 in), surpasses the 150 mm (5 7/8 in) requirement. No measurements were provided for the average stairs runs, but it exceeds the minimum required of 200 mm (7 7/8 in) since even the minimum run is greater than 200 mm. The bottom stair, however, which functions more like a landing, proposes a tread depth of 813 mm (32 in) and has a semi-elliptical shape. In terms of the uniformity of the stair run, again no measurements were provided at the average or midpoint of each tread. The Applicant, however, has noted that the proposed stair (including stairs 2, 3 and 4) has runs varying between 243 and 245 mm (9.57 to 9.59 in) at the walking line. The walking line (see BCC Ruling # ) is an imaginary line running throughout the stair and is measured at 300 mm (12 in) from the inside handrail. This is the line, according to the Applicant, which, from an ergonometric point of view, represents the path of the mid-point of the body that an individual would actually take to ascend or descend the stair, and not the average run (i.e., the precise middle of each stair) that the Code recognizes. 3. Dispute The two issues at dispute between the Applicant and Respondent are i) whether the proposed guard, comprised mainly of 35 mm diameter acrylic rods, complies with Articles and of the
3 -3- Ontario Building Code; and ii) whether and the irregular curved stair provides sufficiency of compliance with Sentence (1) of the OBC. Article stipulates that all guards shall conform to the loading criteria in Article except where guards are constructed with the requirements outlined in the Supplementary Guidelines (SG-7), in which case they are deemed to satisfy the requirements of Sentence (1). Article outlines the requirements for loads on guards. Sentences (1) and (2) indicate the specifications required for the minimum horizontal load applied inward or outward at the top of every guard and for the individual elements within the guard, including solid panels and pickets. As outlined by the Housing Development and Building Branch of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in their memorandum dated October 12, 2000, (w)here guards differ from the prescriptive code requirements outlined in the Supplementary Guidelines to the OBC, guards may be designed according to the Part 4 requirements to determine the loading criteria. The Branch opinion further stated that (w)here the railing does not conform to the requirements of the SG-7 Guidelines, it shall conform to the applicable requirements of Article In this instance, the proposed guard that will run the length of the stair opening and the 17 riser stair, has been reviewed Truetek Engineering Inc. with respect to certain loading capabilities. At dispute however, is whether further loading calculations are required to confirm compliance with the OBC requirements. In respect to the second area of dispute involving the design of the stair, Sentence (1) requires that stairs have a uniform rise and run in any one flight. This requirement, which must be applied to exit and non-exit stairs alike is intended to provide consistent and uniform stair construction so that users will avoid missteps potentially resulting in injury. With the irregular curve of the stair (as noted, they do not radiate from a common point) and the elliptical shape of stairs two to four, the run has certain variations. At issue then, is whether the proposed design, with the previously described discrepancies in run uniformity, provides sufficiency of compliance with OBC Sentence (1). The Respondent raised concerns regarding whether the stair also failed to comply with Article which requires that curved stairs in exits meet Article Among other stipulations, Sentence (2) of Article mandates that the inside radius must be not less than twice the stair width. In doing so, this provision assumes that curved exit stairs are designed so that a line drawn at the riser face of each individual tread towards the inside of the stair would meet at a common, single point. These provisions, OBC and , however, are applicable only to exit stairs. The present disputed stairs, as private stairs within a dwelling, are considered as access to egress stairs and not exit stairs. As a result, their failure to meet at a common radius point is not a Code violation and will therefore not be addressed. 4. Provisions of the Ontario Building Code Article Construction of Guards (1) Except as permitted in Sentence (2), guards shall conform to the loading criteria in Article (2) Guards constructed in accordance with the requirements in the Supplementary Guidelines shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of Sentence (1).
4 -4- Article Loads on Guards (1) The minimum specified horizontal load applied inward or outward at the top of every required guard shall be (a) 3.0 kn/m (200 lb/ft) for means of egress in grandstands, stadia, bleachers and arenas, (b) a concentrated load of 1.0 kn (225 lb) applied at any point for access walkways to equipment platforms, contiguous stairs and similar areas where the gathering of many people is improbable, and (c) 0.75 kn/m (50 lb/ft) or a concentrated load of 1.0 kn (225 lb) applied at any point, whichever governs, for locations other than described in Clauses (a) and (b). (2) Individual elements within the guard, including solid panels and pickets, shall be designed for a concentrated load of 0.5 kn (113 lb) at any point in the element. (3) The loads required in Sentence (2) need not be considered to act simultaneously with the loads provided for in Sentences (1) and (4). (4) The minimum specified load applied vertically at the top of every required guard shall be 1.5 kn/m (100 lb/ft) and need not be considered to act simultaneously with the horizontal load provided for in Sentence (1). Sentence (1) Uniform Treads and Risers (1) Treads and risers shall have uniform rise and run in any one flight. 5. Applicant s Position The Agent for the Applicant submitted that, when designing a stair they always keep the Ontario Building Code requirements uppermost in their minds. Nevertheless, he argued that, in the design of this stair, the walking line concept measured at 300 mm (12 in) from the inside handrail was applied and therefore a consistent tread run has been provided at that distance. This walking line they submit, is the area determined to be the centerline of an adult body transcending the stair, while holding on to the handrail. The only exception to this consistent stair run, he acknowledged, is the first stair which has a width of 813 mm (32 in); it has been designed more as a landing than a stair. The Agent argued that, when considering this design in the context of Article and taking into account a minimum variation allowed in the home construction industry, the run along the inside/right stringer and any slight alteration thereof due to the change in focal point are deemed permissible. In respect to the rise of the stair, the Agent submitted that the Zinger stair is 7 1/4 (in), a comfortable rise for a 17 rise staircase. In the Agent s opinion, Article does not state that the stair must be exactly as shown in article , nor that it must be a 90 o curved stair, nor that the stair can t be flared, nor that the stair can t have elliptical treads, nor that the stair can t not have multiple focal points along the inside stringer. In respect to the guards located along both the balcony and the stair, the Agent submitted that the Zinger handrail design is based on previous staircases (which have been built over the last 10 years), where the handrail design has been made with the same profile, the same manufacturing techniques and the same installation techniques. There has been no record of design and/or structural failure with this design.... He emphasized that the acrylic rods have been reviewed and approved by Truetek Engineering to meet the requirements of article In addition, they have followed all OBC and SG-7 requirements for the stair and handrails and the connection system. In the Agent s opinion,
5 neither the requirements nor the intent of the Building Code are being violated. 6. Respondent s Position -5- The Designate for the Respondent stated that the stair designer has not considered the Ontario Building Code s prescriptive requirements in the design of this stair. He submitted that the stair incorporates a curved section, a modified winder section (at Top & Bottom) complete with elliptical shaped nosing on the bottom three treads. The curved and winder sections do not comply with the Ontario Building Code due to the fact that the treads do not radiate from a common centre point, and /or turn through an angle of 30 o ; the curved stringers are not parallel to each other and therefore are neither a curved stair or a stair with winders. The Designate argued that the stair that is the subject of this dispute is not the stair for which a permit was issued. This stair was built completely in the designers shop, without notice to the Respondent of any proposed changes. The Designate submitted that, in his opinion, when you descend these stairs, your body naturally wants to move from the inside to the outside of the curved path of travel which results in having to negotiate a non-uniform run and tread width and a tendency for your body to move away from the handrail. This is not an appropriate design nor is it compliant with the OBC requirements. He did state however, that he has come to an agreement with the Applicant that the bottom stair can be considered as a landing. In respect to the proposed guards, the Designate for the Respondent submitted that the design does not comply with SG-7, nor has it been reviewed for compliance with Part 4 of the OBC. While he acknowledges that this type of guard is structurally sound in respect to vertical loading, there is no confirmation that these balusters would meet the requirements for lateral loading. He indicated that he would need confirmation from a qualified engineer to satisfy his concerns in that regard. 7. Commission Ruling It is the decision of the Building Code Commission that concerning the Zinger Residence, Lot 9, 2121 Hidden Valley Crescent, Kitchener, Ontario, the proposed guard, comprised mainly of 35 mm diameter acrylic rods complies with Articles and of the Ontario Building Code on the condition that: (1) the lateral capacity of the guard is verified by a qualified engineer. It is also the decision of the Building Code Commission that the irregular curving stair provides sufficiency of compliance with Sentence (1) of the Ontario Building Code at the aforementioned Zinger Residence. 8. Reasons i) With verification of the lateral capacity, the guard will comply with the Ontario Building Code. ii) The variations related to the run of the stair are considered minimal and therefore sufficiently comply with OBC requirements.
