Design Considerations
Stairs should be comfortable to climb30 - 35 degree angle is optimum
![Page 24: Stairs Design Why Stairs z1) Important consideration in a home z2) Accommodate flow traffic z3) Key to circulation—should be close to axis of plan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e885503460f94b8c210/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Design Considerations
Codes influence Sizes of Risers and Treads
Maximum angle 7 3/4” riser with 10” tread
Recommended (Common) Size Ranges riser = 7 to 7 1/2” tread = 10” to 10 1/2”
![Page 25: Stairs Design Why Stairs z1) Important consideration in a home z2) Accommodate flow traffic z3) Key to circulation—should be close to axis of plan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e885503460f94b8c210/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Design Rules
When: Unit rise = R Unit run = T
R+ T = 17” to 18”2R + T = 24” to 25”R (x) T = 70 to 75
![Page 26: Stairs Design Why Stairs z1) Important consideration in a home z2) Accommodate flow traffic z3) Key to circulation—should be close to axis of plan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e885503460f94b8c210/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Design Rule Example
If unit run is unknownunit rise = 7” (low limit of recommended)
(high) R + T = 18 (therefore) 7 + T = 18 (then) T = 11
(low) 2R + T = 24 (therefore) 2*7 + T = 24(then) T = 10
(high) 2R + T = 25 (therefore) 2*7 + T = 25(then) T = 11
(low) R (x) T = 70 (therefore) 7 * T = 70(then) T = 10
(high) R (x) T = 75 (therefore) 7 * T = 75(then) T = 10.7
![Page 27: Stairs Design Why Stairs z1) Important consideration in a home z2) Accommodate flow traffic z3) Key to circulation—should be close to axis of plan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e885503460f94b8c210/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Design Rule Example
If unit run is unknown unit rise = 7.5” (high limit or recommended)
(low) R + T = 17 (therefore) 7.5 + T = 17 (then) T = 9.5
(high) R + T = 18 (therefore) 7.5 + T = 18 (then) T = 10.5(low) 2R + T = 24 (therefore) 2*7.5 + T = 24(then) T = 9(high) 2R + T = 25 (therefore) 2*7.5 + T = 25(then) T = 10(low) R (x) T = 70 (therefore) 7.5* T = 70(then) T = 9.33(high) R (x) T = 75 (therefore) 7.5* T = 75(then) T = 10
![Page 28: Stairs Design Why Stairs z1) Important consideration in a home z2) Accommodate flow traffic z3) Key to circulation—should be close to axis of plan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e885503460f94b8c210/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Stair Calculations Necessary to determine exact riser height and total
run1. Determine vertical distance between finished floors
2. Divide vertical distance by approximate desired riser height to set approximate number of risers
3. Round to number of whole risers
4. Divide vertical distance by number of risers to get actual riser height
5. Number of unit runs = number or unit rise minus 1
6. Total run: use design rule to determine unit run size then multiply by the number of unit runs
![Page 29: Stairs Design Why Stairs z1) Important consideration in a home z2) Accommodate flow traffic z3) Key to circulation—should be close to axis of plan.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649e885503460f94b8c210/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Stair Calculations ExampleGiven: vertical distance = 102”(Total rise)
1--Approx # unit rise = 102 / 7.5 = 13.6
2--Round 13.6 to 14
3--Unit rise height = 102 / 14 = 7.286”
4--14 unit rise (-) 1 = 13 unit runs
5--Design rule: R + T = 17.286
(therefore) 7.286 + T = 17.286(then) T = 10”
6--Total run = 10 * 13 = 130” = 10’-10”
Solution: 14 R @ 7.286” and 13 T @ 10”
