Standard Staircase Dimensions in Buildings
Functioning as a system of steps leading people from one level of the building to another, a staircase is a pretty complex building element. This is because staircases have particular geometry and function. Everything about this building element needs to be carefully planned because of that.
The dimensions of the steps and regulations of the heights and widths of the steps need to be carefully maintained. Not only that, you need to pay attention to the material being used as well.
In this article we will discuss the standard staircase dimensions today.
Staircase Dimensions
In staircase design, concrete offers great reliability in terms of load-bearing and production benefits. Geometry requirements, heat resistance and tensile strength, all can be fulfilled by using concrete. The staircases that are made of in-situ concrete can be adapted to any building plans on site.
On the other hand, precast staircases are not as flexible and can only be fitted into predefined design dimensions specific for that staircase design.
