DOWNLOAD EBOOK(a) Design and construction. (1) Each facility or part of a facility constructed by, on behalf of, or for the use of a public entity shall be designed and constructed in such manner that the facility or part of the facility is readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, if the construction was commenced after January 26, 1992. (2) Exception for structural impracticability. (i) Full compliance with the requirements of this section is not required where a public entity can demonstrate that it is structurally impracticable to meet the requirements. Full compliance will be considered structurally impracticable only in those rare circumstances when the unique characteristics of terrain prevent the incorporation of accessibility features. (ii) If full compliance with this section would be structurally impracticable, compliance with this section is required to the extent that it is not structurally impracticable. In that case, any portion of the facility that can be made accessible shall be made accessible to the extent that it is not structurally impracticable. (iii) If providing accessibility in conformance with this section to individuals with certain disabilities (e.g., those who use wheelchairs) would be structurally impracticable, accessibility shall nonetheless be ensured to persons with other types of disabilities, (e.g., those who use crutches or who have sight, hearing, or mental impairments) in accordance with this section.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA new and innovative approach to both designing and analyzing proposed and existing facilities for ADAAG compliance With its emphasis on physical accessibility, the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) have far-reaching implications for the design or renovation of virtually all public-use buildings and sites in the United States. Yet there has been little guidance on how to design and review the drawings and specifications of an existing or proposed facility to assess its ADAAG compliance. This invaluable reference provides such guidance at last for architects, interior designers, landscape architects, engineers, builders, planners, facilities managers, specification writers, construciton code officials, teachers, and students, as well as individuals concerned with access issues. The authors present the ADAAG in an easily understandable format grouping ADAAG criteria into detailed checklists for specific interior and exterior spaces such as offices, classrooms, retail shops, restaurants, restrooms, and parking garages. This sensible approach makes the review process of any room, building, or site highly manageable. For additional convenience, the presentation parallels the design process from schematic design through construction documents, including detail, schedule, and specification review. Complete with review forms, checklists, graphics, and other information necessary to ensure ADAAG compliance, this thorough guide will prove invaluable to everyone involved with the design or retrofit of accessible buildings and sites.
