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.

What is a riser on stairs and how does it contribute to the overall design and safety of a staircase?

A riser on stairs is the vertical part between each step. It helps prevent tripping by providing a consistent height for each step, making it easier to climb or descend the stairs. Risers also contribute to the overall design of the staircase by creating a uniform appearance and enhancing safety by reducing the risk of accidents.
