Half Space Landing

•Change stair direction 180⁰•Landing width = width of stair (min 750mm)•Used in Dogleg Stairs

Quarter Space Landing

•Change Stair Direction 90⁰•Landing Width & Length = Stair Width•Forms Quarter Turn Stair (min 750mm)

Intermediate Landing

•Allows the Stair to continue in same direction•Required where more than 18 Risers•May be used to give a rest•Width = Stair Width•Length = Stair Width or greater

Stair Requirements

Winders

• Treads that are tapered• Must have same rise as the flights• Maximum of 3 treads per quarter turn• Must be same width at centre on widths < 1m• If stair > 1m same width 400mm from inside

Calculate StairNo Restriction on Going

Determine Total Rise = 2700

Select suitable Rise Say 175mm

Divide Total Rise by Rise = 2700/175 = 15.429

Either 15 or 16 Risers = 2700/15 = 180mm 2700/16 = 168.75mmUse 180mm is closer to 175mm

Best Going 2R + G Between 550 to 700Midpoint = 625

Determine Best Going

• BCA states that going must be within the range

• 2 x Rise (R) + Going(G) = 550 to 700• We can assume that the best answer is the

Midpoint (550 + 700)/2 = 625• Best Going 2R + G = 625• Best Going G = 625 – 2R
