EXAMPLE 6.1.3. ESTIMATING STRINGERS

Determine the length of an open wood stringer with the following data: run distance = 3.50m and height of the rise =2.50m.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem:







Assuming 18cm riser, calculate the number of steps:




Use the table for determination of rise and tread:

Identify 14 steps yields 4.31 stringer length by 30cm tread width; the run at 30cm = 3.50 and the height of rise at 18cm = 2.52.
