AMOE separation?

[Sifu]

I see no explicit requirements for AMOE separation, and read a few threads that imply nobody else has either, but I would like to be sure.

I have a building that requires two AMOE's. One is by ramp, the other (should/will) be by a separate stair on the level of exit discharge once they provide the exterior area for assisted rescue (EAAR). The question is posed because the ramp from the first AMOE terminates < 15' from the EAAR, on the same side of the building.

The question is posed because the ramp from the first AMOE terminates < 15' from the EAAR, on the same side of the building.

Once we pass through the doors to the exterior we are in the exit discharge, 1028.3 acknowledges that converging paths will occur:

2021 IBC 1028.3 Exit Discharge Width or Capacity
The minimum width or required capacity of the exit discharge shall not be less than the minimum width or required capacity of the exits being served.

So there will be a sidewalk connecting the area between the bottom of the ramp and the stairs that takes the building occupants to the public way, that sidewalk will be sized to carry the capacity of the two doors.

Ct has a change for discharge seperation in 1028.4.1....I argue that your "first 2 required" need to be accessible per 1009.1 and therefore remote....

1028.4.1​

Where two or more doors leading to exit discharge are required, a minimum of two such doors shall be placed a distance apart equal to not less than one-third of the length of the maximum overall diagonal dimension of the building served, measured in a straight line between doors. Additional doors leading to exit discharge shall be arranged a reasonable distance apart so that if one becomes blocked, the others will be available.

1009.1​

Accessible means of egress shall comply with this section. Accessible spaces shall be provided with not less than one accessible means of egress. Where more than one means of egress is required by Section 1006.2 or 1006.3 from any accessible space, each accessible portion of the space shall be served by not less than two accessible means of egress.
