How many walked steps does it take to get to 60 feet?
depending on the riser height of the steps. If the risers are 7 inches, it would take about 102 steps to reach 60 feet. 108 steps would get you to 63 feet exactly.
What are the number steps per story of an office building?
It's going to vary with ceiling height. I once counted the number of steps per floor on the stairs in the building where I work, and it wasn't even the same from floor to floor. But it was about 15 or 16, at a standard riser height.
What is the average length of a staircase step?
Step lengthThe "riser" is about seven (7) inches. The depth of the step is about seven to eight. There is a formula for calculating the number of steps one should have for a particular height -- 8 foot , 10 foot, and the like.Stairs are built on a "7-11" risers being approx. 7" and the tread being approx. 11" this gives you the divisable start to your actual seperation.
How do you determine the square footage of stairs?
Assuming you want the square footage for 12ft wide broadloom carpet; a quick measure of the width of the stair tread (width), typical lineal measurement of both riser and down across stair tread and over and around stair nosing(LF), and total amount of stairs (each). An 8ft ceiling typically has 12 stair treads with 13 risers. Stair tread and riser measure typically 1'6" LF and 1'9" LF allows for tucking and squaring the piece. A typical width is 3'2" wide. Thus you can get 3 widths out of a 12ft wide carpet. Needing 12 stairs x 3'2" wide x 1'9" LF in total. A 12 ft wide carpet running (4 x 1'9" LF) 7'0" . You need 12'0" x 7'0" or 9.33 Sq.yards/84 Sq.feet. If you have "pie shaped" stairs you have to measure the furthest points of both riser and stair tread while measuring the stair tread on a 90 degree angle to the riser so the straightness of the pile direction is consistant from stair to stair regardless of the shape of the stair. Stairs that are opened on the sides( no stringer) must also be measured along furthest points and allow extra tuck space for upholstery of the corners. If the stairs are wider then 4 feet, use a piece of graph paper to draw out the 12 ft width of carpet and "fill-in" the stairs allowing 1"-3" in between cut pieces. Always allow an extra 3" per total cut size to allow for the factory cut to be off-square!
How many steps are in a flight of stairs?
Though codes vary, a good rule of thumb is that stairs must not be continuous for more than 12 vertical feet. At 12 feet, a landing must be introduced. With typical riser heights of 7"3/4 you typically see 16-18 "steps" in a flight of stairs. Anything beyond that is not code complaint.
The distance between two floors is 9 feet 1.5 inches If 14 risers are to be used in a set of stairs what is the height of each riser?
7.82".
What is riser and trade in architecture?
trade and riser are the terms used for stair case. trade is used for the breadth of and riser is used for height of stairs.
What is water supply riser diagram?
It is a diagram that shows water risers risers
How do you calculate the area of staircase?
The surface area of stairs is found by multiplying the length and width of one stair top and of the riser. This should be multiplied by the number of stairs.
If eleven riser are needed to reach upto a certain height then number of treads will be?
11 risers will normally take 10 treads
What is the allowable difference between the tallest and shortest risers on a stairway?
This is a building code issue, and so varies depending on location. For example, the State of New York specifies that the maximum difference in riser height for any flight of stairs is 3/8 inch.
How high are five stairs?
IRC building code requires a maximum riser height of 7.75". Your answer would be 38.75".
What is the definition of a nose line for stairs?
The edge of the riser.
What is the standard stair riser height?
They are the height it needs to be in order to make the desired number of treads connect the low and high points. That being said, Stair risers should be no more than 8" and treads should be no less than 11". Once your risers start being taller than your tread is long, you are building a ladder, not a stair. If you start at 8" for a riser and 11" as a tread, By shrinking the riser and adjusting the treads to fit you can get the steps to work out so that one consistent riser height can be achieved. One that will be in the 6-8" range. If you use risers that are less than 6", you should lengthen the treads. Example problem-- Lower floor is 6 feet lower than the higher floor. Keep in mind you always have 1 more riser than tread. 6'-0"= 72" You can make 18 each 4" risers (72"H /4"R=18 risers) and have a run of 34 feet using 24" treads. or you can make 12 each 6" risers and have a run of 11 feet using 12" treads. or you can make 9 each 8" risers and have a run of 7'-4" or 88" using 11" treads. You will always have at least one "given"-the height you need to traverse. From there it is just division and multiplication based on the 8" maximum riser and the 11" minimum tread.

If treads are short from nosing to riser by 1 how can you fix this without getting new treads or installing new stringers?
Depends on where you are at in the assembly of the stairs. You could put spacers behind the risers or add a strip to the back edge of the tread. If the stairs are assembled and you can get to the underside you can screw a splice up under each tread and put a filler strip in from above.
