A one-side kicker connection for stairwell framing addresses torsional considerations. A torsion connection without stiffeners is specified for specific conditions, with reference to the typical torsional connection detail at the stairwell. Kickers are omitted at open or edge beam conditions. Connections are not required on short-span beams at the end where kickers are permitted on long-span beams.
