    Vertical circulation refers to the means by which building occupants access different areas of a building, including stairs, ramps, elevators, and escalators. Stairs consist of a series of steps leading from one level to another, and have components like treads, risers, stringers, and landings. Stairs must be designed to provide safe, quick access between floors and meet requirements for location, width, number of steps, pitch, headroom, tread size, and riser height. Elevators are vertical transport equipment that efficiently moves people and goods between floors using electric motors and cables or hydraulic fluid to raise a platform. Elevator types include passenger, service, and hospital lifts. Basic elevator components are the

    What is a stair and it’s
    components?
    A stair is a series of steps, each
    elevated a measured distance,
    leading from one level of a structure
    to another.
    Stair parts and terms
    • Headroom
    • Tread
    • Riser
    • Unit rise
    • Unit run
    • Total rise
    • Stringer
    • Stair well
    • Total run
    • Platform/landings
    • Winding stairs
    • Run of stairs or flight
    • Straight run
    • Winders
    REQUIREMENTS OF A GOOD STAIR
    Provide easy, quick and safe mode of communication between the floors.
    Following are the general requirements which a stair should fulfill.

    LOCATION :
    • easy access
    • well lighted and ventilated
    • approach convenient and spacious

    WIDTH OF STAIR:
    • Carry without inconvenience
    • dependent on location and user the of the building
    • In a domestic building, a 90cm wide stair in sufficient while in
    public building, 1.5 m to 1.8 m width may be required.

    • NO. OF STEPS: max 12 steps, min 3 steps


    • PITCH : 30 to 45 degrees
    • HEADROOM: not less than 2.1 to 2.3 mts
    • TREAD : min 25 cms, max 30 cms
    • RISER : between 10 to 15 cms

    MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION :
    • The materials used for stair construction should be such as to
    provide a) Sufficient strength and
    b) fire resistance

    FTS
    What is a Lift ?
    The lift is a type of vertical
    transport equipment that
    efficiently moves people or
    goods between floors (levels,
    decks) of a building, vessel or
    other structure.
    generally powered by electric
    motors that either drive
    cables, hoist, or pump
    hydraulic fluid to raise a
    cylindrical piston like a jack.
    TYPES OF ELEVATORS / LIFTS:

    • Passenger Lift : A lift designed for the transport of


    passengers.

    • Goods Lift : A lift designed primarily for the transport


    of goods but which may carry a lift attendant or other
    person necessary for the unloading and loading of
    goods.

    • Service Lift (Dumb-Waiter) : A lift with a car which


    moves in guides in a vertical direction; has net floor
    area of 1 m2, total inside height of 1.25 m; and
    capacity not exceeding 250 kg; and is exclusively
    used for carrying materials and shall not carry any
    person.

    • Hospital Lift : A lift normally installed in a


    hospital/dispensary/clinic and designed to
    accommodate one number bed/stretcher along its
    depth, with sufficient space around to carry a
    minimum of three attendants in addition to the lift
    Basic terminologies..
    • Elevator car : That part of an elevator that
    includes the platform, enclosure, car frame, and
    door.
    • Machine beam : A steel beam, positioned
    directly over the elevator in the machine room
    and is used to support elevator equipment.

    • Machine room : This usually located at the top


    of the shaft and accommodates the winding
    machine, etc.

    • Pit : That part of an elevator shaft that


    extends from the threshold level of the lowest
    landing door down to the floor at the very
    bottom of the shaft.

    • Shaft : A hoistway through which one or more


    elevator cars may travel.

    • Counterweight or balance-weight. A unit,


    consisting of steel weights, which counter
    balance the weight of the car and a portion of
    the load, and to which the suspension ropes are
    Traction drive : Lift whose lifting
    ropes are driven by friction in the
    grooves of the driving sheave of the
    machine.
    • Trailing cable : Flexible cable
    providing electrical connection
    between the lift car and a fixed point
    or points.
    •Bottom clearance : The distance,
    including buffer compression, the
    platforms could travel below the
    bottom landing until the full weight of
    the car, when loaded, rests on the
    buffer.
    •Top clearance :The vertical distance
    between the top car attachment and
    the bottom of the diverting pulley or
    any steelwork supporting equipment;
    there must be an adequate margin
    between this and the car will not
    contact the diverting pulley or
    steelwork.
