ARI121S (6739) 2ND SEMESTER STAIRS RESEARCH z: ~"PRESENTED TO AR. LEO ANTHONY COCHING PREPARED BY GICHELLE PAULA A. BALBOATYPES OF STAIRS L-SHAPED THE CLASSIC STRAIGHT STYLE, ZHUZHED UP A LITTLE. IN THIS DESIGN, THE STAIRS MAKE A 90-DEGREE TURN AT SOME POINT, GOING LEFT OR RIGHT AFTER A LANDING. U-SHAPED THE BEND 1S TAKEN EVEN FURTHER TO FORM A FULL U SHAPE, AND SIMILAR TO THE L-SHAPED STAIRCASE, A LANDING SEPARATES THE TWO PARALLEL FLIGHTS STRAIGHT THIS ONE IS STRAIGHTFORWARD (LITERALLY). STRAIGHT STAIRS FEATURE A SINGLE LINEAR FLIGHT WITH NO CHANGE IN DIRECTION. WINDER THE SLIGHTLY MORE COMPLICATED SISTER TO THE L-SHAPED STAIRCASE. A SET OF WINDERS-TREADS THAT ARE WIDER ON ONE SIDE THAN THE OTHER- TAKES THE PLACE OF THE LANDING TO SAVE SPACE.TYPES OF SPIRAL A COMPACT DESIGN CENTERED AROUND A SINGLE POLE, SO THAT IF YOU LOOKED AT IT FROM ABOVE, IT WOULD FORM A PERFECT CIRCLE SOMETHING TO CONSIDER: A SPIRAL STAIRCASE'S NARROW WEDGE-SHAPED TREADS AREN'T THE EASIEST TO TRAVERSE STAIRS CURVED UNLIKE WINDER OR L-SHAPED STAIRCASES, A CURVED STYLE HAS NO LANDINGS INSTEAD, THE STAIRS ARE CONTINUOUS, FOLLOWING THE BEND OF THE BANISTER STRIKING TO MAKE A ARCHITECTURAL STATEMENTPARTS OF ¥ ‘— 4 STEP IT IS A COMBINATION OF TREAD AND RISER WHICH PERMITS ASCENT ANO DESCENT FROM ONE FLOOR TO ANOTHER. TREAD THE UPPER HORIZONTAL PORTION OF ASCENDING OR DESCENDING A STAIRWAY IS KNOWN AS TREAD. RISER THE VERTICAL MEMBER OF THE STEP IS KNOWN AS RISER. IT (5 USED TO SUPPORT AND CONNECT SUCCESSIVE TREADS. RISE THE VERTICAL HEIGHT BETWEEN TWO CONSECUTIVE TREADS 1S KNOWN AS RISE LANDING 4 HORIZONTAL PLATFORM BETWEEN TWO SUCCESSIVE FLIGHT OF A STAIR IS CALLED LANDING, LANDING 15 USED AS 4 RESTING PLACE DURING USE OF THE STAIR. IT FACILITATES THE CHANGE OF DIRECTION OF THE FLIGHT. LANDING WHICH EXTENOS FOR ONLY HALE THE WIDTH OF STAIRCASE 1S KNOWN AS QUARTER SPACE LANDING. NOSING IT 15 THE PROJECTING PART OF THE 1s USUALLY ROUNDED TO GIVE GOOD AESTHETIC EFFECT TO THE TREADS AND MAKE STAIRCASE CONVENIENT AND EASY TO USE WITHOUT THE FACES OF TWO CONSECUTIVE FLIGHT 4 CONTINUOUS SERIES OF STEPS WITHOUT ANY BREAK BETWEEN LANDINGS OR LANDING AND FLOORING IS KNOWN AS FLIGHT. HEAD ROOM THE VERTICAL HEIGHT BETWEEN THE TREAD OF ONE FLIGHT AND THE CEILING OF THE OVERHEAD CONSTRUCTION 1S KNOWN AS HEAD ROOM. HEAD ROOM SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT SO AS NOT TO CAUSE ANY HEAD ROOM IS ALSO KNOWN AS HEAD WAY HAND RAIL IT IS AN INCLINED RAIL PROVIDED AT CONVENIENT HEIGHT OVER BALUSTRADES. THE SLOPE OF THE STAIR. IT SERVES AS A GUARD RAIL AND PROVIDES ASSISTANCE TO THE USERS OF THE STAIR. HAND RAILS CAN BE MOLDED IN SO MANY ARCHITECTURAL FORMS. ALSO ACTS AS A PROTECTIVE BAR ir SKIRTBOARO. TREAD L-sRiRTBOAR: sac. BALUSTER Front BALUSTER STARTING NEWEL BALUSTER IT 1S AN INDIVIDUAL VERTICAL MEMBER MADE OF TIMBER, METAL, OR MASONRY AND FIXED BETWEEN STRING AND HAND RAIL TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO THE HAND RAIL BALUSTRADE FRAMEWORK MADE FROM SERIES OF BALUSTERS AND HAND RAIL IS KNOWN AS BALUSTRADE. IT (5 ALSO KNOWN AS BARRISTER. PITCH OR SLOPE THE VERTICAL ANGLE MADE BY NOSING LINE OF THE STAIR WITH THE HORIZONTAL IS KNOWN AS PITCH OR SLOPE OF THE STAIR. RUN THE TOTAL LENGTH OF THE STAIR IN LANDINGS IS KNOWN AS RUN OF THE STAIR. SOFFIT THE UNDERSURFACE OF THE STAIR IS KNOWN AS SOFFIT. IT 1S EITHER FINISHED WITH PLASTER OR COVERED WITH A CEILING. SCOTIA IT [5 A SORT OF ADDITIONAL MOLDING. PROVIDED UNDER THE NOSING OR TREAD TO BEAUTIFY THE STEP OF ELEVATION. NEWEL - POST IT IS A VERTICAL TIMBER OR STEEL POST PROVIDED AT THE HEAD, FOOT, OR AT POINT WHERE THE BALUSTRADE CHANGES ITS. DIRECTION. IT 1S ALSO USED FOR SUPPORTING SLOPING WOODEN MEMBERS OF A STAIR USED TO lay BE TWO TYPES, CUT OR OPEN TYPE AND. CLOSED OR HOUSED TYPE. IN CASE OF FORMER TYPE, THE UPPEREDGE IS CUT EXACTLY TO SIZE TO RECEIVE THE ENDS OF STEPS. IN THE LATTER TYPE I.F CLOSED OR HOUSED TYPE, THE ENDS OF STEPS ARE HOUSED INTO THE STRINGERS WAIST THE THICKNESS OF THE RCC SLAB OVER WHICH STEPS OF RCC REST IS KNOWN AS WAIST. LINE OF NOSING IT Is AN (MAGINARY SLOPING LINE PARALLEL TO THE SLOPE OF THE STAIR AND TOUCHING THE NOSING OF ALL THE TREADS. WALKING LINE IT IS THE APPROXIMATE LINE ON THE STAIR, ADOPTED BY THE PEOPLE DURING THE USE OF THE STAIR. THIS LINE IS LOCATED ABOUT 40 CM FROM SPANDREL OPEN STRING STAIR.THE ONE 44 m> Uz Os ARD SIZES OF (HEIGHT AND WIDTH IN M) Tactile marking 0.30-0.45 MINIMUM WIDTH OF A STAIRWAY SHOULD BE 0.90 M -WAY TRAFFIC AND 1.50 M FOR TWO-WAY TRAFFIC. INDOOR STAIRS, THE RISER SHOULD BE BETWEEN 0.12 M 0.18 M, AND THE TREAD BETWEEN 0.28 M AND 0.35 M OUTDOOR STAIRS, THE MAXIMUM RISER SHOULD BE 0.15 M THE 1 MINIMUM TREAD SHOULD BE 0.30 M. FOR FOR AND FOR AND MINIMUM WIDTH OF A STAIRWAY SHOULD BE 0.90 M FOR ONE- WAY TRAFFIC AND 1.50 M FOR TWO-WAY TRAFFIC. FOR INDOOR STAIRS, THE RISER SHOULD BE BETWEEN 0.12 M AND 0.18 M, AND THE TREAD BETWEEN 0.28 M AND 0.35 M FOR OUTDOOR STAIRS, THE MAXIMUM RISER SHOULD BE 0.15 AND THE MINIMUM TREAD SHOULD BE 0.30 M. AN INTERMEDIATE LANDING SHOULD BE PROVIDED WHEN THE M STAIRS COVER A DIFFERENCE IN LEVEL OF MORE THAN 2.50 M. THE LENGTH OF THE LANDING SHOULD BE AT LEAST 1.20 M EXTENDING ALONG THE FULL WIDTH OF THE STAIRS FOR STAIRS MORE THAN 3.00 M WIDE, ONE OR MORE INTERMEDIATE HANDRAILS COULD BE PROVIDED THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE HANDRAILS WHEN BOTH SIDES ARE USED FOR GRIPPING SHOULD BE BETWEEN 0.90 M AND 1.40 M HANDRAILS MUST EXTEND A DISTANCE BETWEEN 0.30 M AND 0.45 M AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS
