Study Notes
Stairs
- Stairs provide vertical circulation, moving people between floors.
- Essential for accessibility in residential and commercial buildings.
- Contribute to a building's overall design and aesthetics.
Stair Technical Terms
- Tread: The horizontal part of a stair, typically 10-12 inches wide.
- Riser: The vertical part of a stair, defining the height between steps.
- Flight: A series of stairs between landings.
- Landing: A flat platform between flights, allowing for changes in direction.
- Headroom: The vertical clearance from the tread to the ceiling or overhead structure.
- Nosing: The protruding edge of a tread, preventing slipping.
- Stringer: The structural support holding treads and risers in place.
Stair Location Criteria
- Stairs should be centrally located for easy access between floors.
- They should not be obstructed by other building structures.
Types of Staircases and Suitability
- Straight Staircase: Simple, direct vertical connection, suitable for spaces with limited space.
- L-shaped (Quarter-turn): One 90-degree turn, typically featuring a landing, useful for homes/offices with limited floor space.
- U-shaped (Half-turn): Two 90-degree turns, often with a landing in the middle, suitable for buildings with wider floor plans.
- Spiral Staircase: Winds around a central axis, compact footprint, suitable for smaller spaces, such as lofts, towers, or smaller residential buildings.
- Helical Staircase: Variation of spiral, smooth curved design, without a central pole, suitable for high-end residential or commercial buildings.
- Floating Staircase: Treads are directly attached to a wall or beam, creating a floating appearance, ideal for modern minimalist designs.
- Suspended Scaffolding: Suspended from a building by ropes/cables. Suitable for tall buildings and cleaning tasks.
- Cantilever Scaffolding: Supported at one end, extending over an edge, suitable for overhanging or high areas.
- Mobile Scaffolding: Mounted on wheels, useful in smaller spaces that need frequent repositioning.
- Steel Scaffolding: Entirely made of steel, offering strength and durability, suitable for large construction projects.
- Sundec Scaffolding: A scaffold suspended from a building's roof or balcony.
- Frame Scaffolding Pre-fabricated frames connected to form a scaffold.
Painting and Coloring
- Aesthetic Appeal: Color and finish customization enhances the appearance of walls, doors, windows, and furniture.
- Protection: Protects surfaces from environmental factors like moisture, dust, and pollution.
- Durability: Improves the lifespan of the underlying surface, prevents wear and tear, and extends the life of the surface.
- Hygiene/Maintenance: Cleaner to clean surfaces.
Painting Types
- Oil-based: Durable, glossy finish, good for wood, metal, but longer drying time with a strong odor.
- Water-based (latex): Fast-drying, low odor, easy cleanup, common for interior walls and ceilings, but less durable than oil-based for high-traffic areas.
- Enamel: Hard, glossy finish, good for metal and wood surfaces.
- Primer: A preparatory coating to improve paint adhesion, seals/prepares surfaces, and enhances final finish.
- Processes for Painting and Coloring: Includes cleaning, priming (if needed), and applying coats of paint using brushes or rollers.
Scaffolding
- Purpose: Temporary structures crucial for supporting workers, supplies, and tools during construction, maintenance, or repair.
- Essential for ensuring worker safety at high places.
- Types:
- Tube and fitting scaffolding: Made of tubes and fittings, highly adaptable.
- Frame scaffolding: Pre-fabricated frames for assembly.
