conveinence stairs - answer stair that connects two floors of a building
scissor stairs - answer Two sets of crisscrossing stairs in a common shaft
spiral stairs - answer usually only in residences due to being difficult to
descend
folding stairs - answer stairs similar to ladders used to provide access to an
attic space that does not have a permanent access stair
-can be vertical path for fire to spread and hazard if tensions break loose in a
fire
protected stairs must: - answer resist means of combustion

direction*
- alternating periodically *reverses direction*
shear wall - answer wall panels that are braced against lateral loads (may be
load or non load bearing)
vertical shafts and utility chases can provide: - answer a path for smoke and
fire to travel as the area of origin for fires
refuse chute - answer Vertical shaft with self-closing access door on every
