calculation of stairs calculation of stairs

Stair layout and stair plan  First determine the -to-floor height  Calculate the numbers of risers and treads Source: Habermann. Staircases: design and construction 2003 page 42  The riser height should be not more than 175 mm number of risers = floor-to-top height/ riser height – Number of risers = 4,200mm / 175 mm = 24 riser – Building regulation only 16 steps one flight – Divided by 2 = 12 riser/steps Re-calculation Height of steps – Floor-to-floor-height = 4,200mm / 24 riser = 175mm Calculation of tread – 630 mm = 2 x step height/riser + 1 x step width/tread – Tread = 630mm – 2 x 175mm/riser/step height = 280mm

each flight (12-1) x 280mm length = 3,080 one length + landings each min 1,050mm 630 mm = 2 x step height/riser + 1 x step width/tread Full length of one flight 5,180mmm for staircase Francois Blondel 1683
