Treads shall have a minimum live loading of 2 5 kpa or a 2 2 kn per linear metre or minimum point loading of 1 5 kn applied on 100mm 100 mm pad on each step whichever loading produces the more adverse effect.
Stair treads come in a variety of colors styles shapes and sizes.
Harvard university lists typical tread sizes between 8 and 11 1 2 inches.
Because they only sit on the top of the stair the length of the tread is limited to the size of the average step.
The maximum deflection shall be l 100 or 40mm whichever is the lesser over the horizontal span l of the stairway between supports.
Most stair treads measure between 8 and 10 inches long with longer treads being used on.
The greatest tread depth within a flight of stairs cannot be more than 3 8 inch larger than the smallest tread depth.
The result was a disastrously uncomfortable stair with treads too short for adult feet.
Stair details refer to the standard requirements for each of the various components of a flight of stairs.
Standard stair tread dimensions.
A stair stringer is a structural member that supports the treads and risers of a staircase.

Regulated by building codes stair details specify the sizes of risers and treads stair widths the placement of handrails and guardrails and construction methods for fabricating stairs.
These dimensions may be useful when laying out a staircase or if you have general questions about the size and shape of a traditional tread or a retro tread.
We describe how to translate the stair rise and run into a specific number of stair treads and risers that will be uniform and of proper safe dimension.
Stair tread depth is more of an issue for descending rather than ascending stairs.
