What are Building Blocks?Slide9

302Floor or Ground SurfacesTechnical: 302Slide10

302.1 General Floor or ground surfaces shall be stable, firm, and slip resistant and shall comply with 302.

The following excerpts from Advisory 302.1 address the minimum requirements for stable

, firm, and slip resistant surfaces.

Floor or Ground SurfacesSlide11

One that remains unchanged by contaminants or applied force, so that when the contaminant or force is removed, the surface returns to its original condition.Grass and sod surfaces are not prohibited, however, they typically will not meet this criteria.What is a stable surface?Slide12

One that resists deformation by either indentations or particles moving on its surface.Soft or loose materials such as sand, gravel, bark, mulch, or wood chips surfaces

do not meet this criteria.

What is a firm surface?Slide13

One that provides sufficient frictional counterforce to the forces exerted in walking to permit safe ambulation.Slip resistance is the most controversial and difficult to measure since there are many types of surfaces and testing methods and compliance is applicable when wet or dry. In 2009, the National Floor Safety Institute issued the ANSI/NFSI B101.1 which is a new national safety standard for testing dry, hard

surfaces.What is slip resistance?Slide14

It was recommended to DOJ that they apply an American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM) standard (with modifications) to the 2010 SAD to assess whether or not a floor surface is "slip resistant”…DOJ declined the recommendation since there is no generally accepted test method for the slip-resistance of all walking surfaces under all conditions.Slide15

However, DOJ did include ASTM standards in the 2010 SAD applicable to safe surfaces under and around playground equipment.ASTM standards are referenced in:105.2.3 (Referenced Standards)1008.2.6 (Play Areas: Ground Surfaces)Slide16

ADA-CertifiedTAS-Compliant

ADA-Approved

None

…neither DOJ nor TDLR endorses or approves any products or manufacturers.

Compliance is typically dependent on the installation and maintenance.

What surfaces have the

“ADA /TAS – Seal of Approval”? Slide17

(Concrete with small pebbles)Some factors that affect compliance with 302:

Size of aggregate

Tamping and leveling of the aggregate

Example:

Exposed AggregateSlide18

Within animal containment areas, floor and ground surfaces shall not be required to be stable, firm,or slip resistant.Not applicable to public circulation routes where animals may travel, such as in petting zoos (Advisory 203.12).

302.1 Floor or Ground Surface

Exception 1Slide19

Areas of sport activity shall not be required to comply with 302.Area of Sport Activity. That portion of a room or space where the play or practice of a sport occurs (106.5.9).

302.1 Floor or Ground Surface

Exception 2Slide20

Carpet or carpet tile shall: be securely attachedhave a firm cushion, pad or backing or no cushion or pad.

302.2 CarpetSlide21

Pile height shall be exceed ½” maximum. Pad

Carpet or carpet tile shall have a level loop, textured loop, level cut pile, or level cut/uncut pile texture.

Level Cut Pile

Thickness is measured to the backing, cushion, or pad (302.2 Advisory).

302.2 Carpet,

Contd.Slide22

Exposed edges of carpet shall be fastened to floor surfaces and shall have trim on the entire length of the exposed edge.

Carpet trim shall comply with 303.

302.2 Carpet,

Contd.Slide23

Carpets and permanentlyaffixed mats cansignificantly increase theamount of force (roll resistance) needed to propel a wheelchair over a surface (Advisory 302.2).

Roll Resistance

The firmer the carpeting and backing, the lower the roll resistance (Advisory 302.2).Slide24

302.3 Openings

Openings in floor or ground surfaces shall not allow passage

of a sphere more than ½” diameter except as allowed.

Elongated openings shall be placed so that the long dimension is perpendicular to the dominant direction of travel.
