These structural framing diagrams illustrate four distinct torsional connection and kicker configurations for stairwell openings. The layouts show beam arrangements with varying applications of torsional connections with and without stiffeners, torsion connection strips, and kickers at long span and short span beams. Open and edge beam conditions restrict kickers where indicated, while specific locations omit torsion connections on short span beams. Eccentric stair hangers and typical kickers tie into the surrounding floor framing members.
