How do you define a staircase?
A staircase is a series of steps consisting of horizontal treads and vertical risers that provides access between floors in a building.
How many stairs are in a standard spiral staircase?
Do not confuse stairs with steps or treads! All depends on floor to floor height. Floor to ceiling 8 ft. + floor thickness (8 to 12 in.) would give you approx. 10 or 11 steps. but my answer would have to be 1 (one), there is one stair in a standard spiral staircase

What is the slope of a staircase when the measurement is 9 inch treads and 8 1.2 inch rises?
The slope is 8-1/2 divided by 9 = 0.9444...(rounded, repeating)The angle of the slope is whatever angle has a tangent of (8-1/2)/9 .That angle is 43.36 degrees. (rounded)That makes sense, because we know that if the tread and riser were equal,then the angle would be 45 degrees.
What is the formula for calculating the number of stairs needed for a particular height?
Stairs are defined by tread and rise: tread is the depth, front-to-back (or toe-to-heel), of the horizontal surface; while rise is the height, or step-up from one tread to the next.These dimensions can vary depending on design choices, the site requirements, and local building codes.I think the proper approach would be the reverse order...# determine the local building codes # determine your requirements (total height needed, total run/width available) # determine design requirements (steep angle, like a ladder requires greater rise/fewer, shallower treads, more effort to climb; shallower angle requires more steps, more space, but are easier to climb.) One rule of thumb is called the "Rule of 25": a staircase will be safe and easy to climb if the height of two risers plus the depth of one tread equals 25.Try a websearch for "How to design stairs?" for a list of many good articles/ tutorials/ design ideas.Good luck.

What is the code for stairs treads to risers?
I need to know what the codes are on stairs? Treads@risers an hand rails ?for what degree of slope
If eleven riser are needed to reach upto a certain height then number of treads will be?
11 risers will normally take 10 treads
How do you call the inclined member supporting the risers and treads of a set of stairs?
Stringer
How would you use the height of the risers and the depth of the treads to measure the slope of a staircase?
It is a right-angled triangle where the height is the vertical leg (a) and the depth is the horizontal leg (b). a/b = tan of slope angle Slope angle = arctan(a/b)
Show the Placement of Reinforcement in a RCC staircase?
It is in the stair-waist from the bottom with min. covering of 15 mm. or equal to the dia. of the main reinforcement (whichever is greater). The main bars are perpendicular to the treads and risers the distribution bars are perpendicular to the main bars and are above it.
What square should be used to mark treads and risers on a stringer?
A framing square. 16 inches by 24 inches
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.
What are the hazards of stairs in a residential home?
@ risers are less than 73/4 inches high b. The width of treads does not strictly comply with codes c. The height of the risers by more than 3/8 inches
What are the advantages of staircase wiring?
Staircase lighting puts the light exactly where your feet go. There is no shadow cast on the treads. Overhead lighting will cause shadows when your body gets between the overhead light source and the stair treads. One disadvantage is the extra cost to install this type of system.
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.
