Requirements for stairs in the park area. What are the building codes for stairs? Design and construction of fire escapes

For the manufacture of critical structures, it is customary to use GOST standards in construction. Metal stairs and railings belong to this type of structure, therefore, certain standards are applied in the design and manufacture of these products.

The regulatory documents and drawings must indicate the requirements for the material used in the manufacture of stairs, for the permissible dimensions and method of placing products in the building plan.

To describe the conditions for the manufacture and installation of metal stairs and fences, GOST have been developed:

  • GOST R 53254 - 2009. It accumulates standards for the production and installation of metal fire escapes and fences for these products at industrial and civil construction;
  • GOST 23120-78. Reflects the standards for the production of steel stairs;
  • GOST 25772 83. Provides standards and design characteristics for fences used in the construction of flights of stairs and for the organization of safety barriers on roofs and balconies;
  • GOST 26887-86. The regulatory document allows you to determine the characteristics of attached metal stairs, platforms, stationary vertical products. In addition, it describes standards for portable ladders made of aluminum that are used for construction work.

Standards GOST 23120 78

This regulatory document provides for the arrangement of platforms, fences and metal stairs. GOST 23120 78 is mandatory when installing products at an outdoor temperature of up to -65 C o.

In construction, when installing these elements, the following rules are used:

Wherever the staircase is located, no matter what type it belongs to and from what materials it is made, one thing remains unchanged - the design must strictly comply with the existing norms and requirements of SNiP and GOST. It is on compliance with these standards that the safety of a stepped system, its comfort, convenience and functionality depend. We will talk further about what requirements are imposed on wooden, metal, fire and other stairs located in private residential buildings (apartments) and public buildings today. For your attention, the article also provides high-quality photos and a helpful supporting video.

A beautiful, comfortable and safe staircase cannot be built without observing SNiP standards.

Regulations

The construction of staircase systems is regulated by the requirements and standards recorded in such regulatory legal acts as GOST and SNiP. Let's analyze these standards regarding:

  1. Stairs for living quarters.
  2. Stairs in public buildings.
Before building any staircase, for its safety and convenience, be sure to study all the existing requirements for these systems.

Stairs in residential buildings

The safety of staircase systems located inside a residential building depends on how fully and accurately all the regulatory requirements of SNiP and GOST are met.


Stairs in residential premises can be of the most diverse types, the only thing that unites them is the SNiP and GOST standards

As you know, according to the material of manufacture, structures are divided into:

  • Wooden.
  • Metallic.
  • Firefighters.
  • Reinforced concrete.
  • Stone.
  • Combined.
  • Other systems.

All structural elements must be carefully calculated in accordance with regulatory documents

Since the first three options are the most common, let's consider the regulatory requirements for them in more detail.

SNiP norms for wooden systems

For wooden stairs in residential buildings there are two main regulatory documents concerning the requirements for their construction - these are:

  • SNiP II-25-80 - directly regulates the manufacture of structures made of wood.
  • Sanitary norms No. 2.08.01-89 - establish general rules for the construction of residential premises.

The most popular in private houses are wooden systems, but their construction must also be carried out in strict compliance with established standards.

Consider the most significant provisions of these acts:

  • Sites of wooden systems should be equipped in such a way that natural light falls on the structure.
  • The number of steps in one flight is from 3 to 18.
  • The width of the march is not less than 0.9 meters.
  • The height of the fence is at least 90 cm.
  • The slope should not be steeper than 40 degrees.
  • Recommended use for stairs made of wood conifers trees.
  • The boards used in the construction of stairs must be flat, without knots and burrs, with a maximum moisture content of 12%.

According to existing requirements, the best species for making stairs for the house are spruce and pine.

In addition to the above requirements, the wood used for the construction of the stairs must be treated with a special antiseptic solution to avoid rotting.

SNiP to metal structures

SNiP for staircase systems erected in residential buildings was approved back in 1981, its number is II-23-81. Consider the main provisions of this normative act:



A metal structure must be painted or treated with an anti-corrosion mixture

Also, SNiP describes methods for calculating the strength of structures and gives advice on the use of steel and cast iron grades in different climatic zones.

Requirements for fire escapes

All public buildings, according to the instructions, must be equipped with special fire escapes for evacuating people in the event of a flammable situation.


No one apartment house or the public building will not be allowed to operate if they do not have a fire department evacuation stairs

SNiP for these systems does not regulate their placement, volumes and other properties. All these points are indicated in another regulatory document - GOST R 53254-2009. It is in it that stationary external fire escapes and the requirements for them are described.


The construction of fire structures must be carried out in strict observance of GOST R 53254-2009

The photo shows a detailed diagram of the staircase located in a multi-level public building

Regulatory requirements for marches and cages

The requirements for flights of stairs and cells, both in private houses and in public buildings, are established in SNiP 21-01-97. Installation and removal procedure reinforced concrete products and sites are additionally regulated by GOST 9818.


A staircase in a public space should be as functional and easy to use as possible.

According to SNiP 21-01-97



The photo shows a drawing of the staircase railing, which was drawn up in strict accordance with the SNiP documentation

Requirements of GOST 9818



When designing multi-level buildings, architects attach the most importance to the development of a comfortable and safe staircase structure.

Conclusion

Thus, when building stairs different types in private houses and in public buildings, builders, even at the design stage, must take into account and comply with all the prescriptions and requirements of such regulatory documents as SNiP and GOST. This will make it possible to create only high-quality, reliable and safe products that can serve for more than one decade.


Stairs in public buildings are the most important functional objects, without which it is impossible to imagine any modern building.

Such step systems are offered to consumers by the popular online store of finished products "Super Ladder". Here you will find the most various designs for your house, dacha or apartment. And the lowest prices for staircase products in Moscow and the Moscow region will pleasantly surprise you.


One of the many models from the "Elegant" series presented in the "Super Ladder" online store has a cost of only 50 390 rubles

Ladder structure, its appearance, convenience and safety are essential to any home. A successful staircase design increases the overall comfort level of people who will use it in the future, and also affects the level of ergonomics of the room. Considering the importance and significance of the structure, almost all of its elements are subject to regulation at the legislative level: the width and length of the span, the size of the fences, the number and height of stair steps (GOST and SNiP).

The value of timely calculation of parameters

Basic structures are calculated even at the stage of developing a house project. Width and height allows builders to calculate the most important parameters of the future building.

Often, when developing a staircase project, they are guided by the current standards and the wishes of the building owner. Compliance with administrative documents governing construction and repair work is mandatory. After all, drawing a beautiful, amazing staircase is half the battle. The structure must be functional, reliable, comfortable and safe.

Ladders to destinations or educational institutions require particular attention.

How exactly staircase construction is regulated

The documents that contain standards, norms and rules, in accordance with which all stairs must be erected, are GOST and SNiP.

For concrete and reinforced concrete stairs, there are GOST 8717.1-84 and 8717.0-84. The latter document also applies to stairs made of metal structures.

Their individual points describe how high the marches should be, how many steps should be placed in them and what height they should be done. The angle at which the flight of stairs is placed, the width of the site and the type of fences are also stipulated.

Some sizes are given with specific values, others represent a range within which master builders can select the appropriate numbers for them.

What does "optimal stair slope" mean?

The angle at which the staircase will be located in a private house, multi-storey apartment or public building is the recommended value. The minimum angle is 20 degrees, the maximum is 50 degrees.

A smaller angle indicates that the staircase is low, which means it is shallow. Of course, it is quite easy to climb such steps and the risk of falling is reduced, but such a structure turns out to be many times longer and takes up much more space. Often, designers urge owners to save space by shortening the length of the stairs. GOST establishes the maximum permissible angle of inclination at the level of 50 degrees, since steeper steps are unsafe for a climbing person.

However, there are exceptions, such as the installation of stairs to attics and basements. Steep stairs may be allowed here due to their infrequent use and limited space.

Optimal (for a private house) is a flight of stairs inclined at an angle of 30-35 degrees. This range of indicators corresponds to the natural rhythms of human movement.

What data are taken into account in the process of project development

Most important parameters affecting the ladder structure are:

  1. Height of each floor.
  2. General areas of internal premises.
  3. Layout of windows, doors and openings.
  4. The shape and features of the walls of the rooms (niches, ledges).

These data, which are determined from construction drawings, affect the height of the steps of the stairs, GOST is also necessarily taken into account. In addition, the figures obtained allow you to see what the total height of the stairs will be, the length of the flights, the number and size of the turning platforms.

The existence of the established parameters does not mean at all that the staircase does not need to be calculated. Individual projects are necessary, since the final dimensions are influenced by many factors (the material of manufacture of the stairs and fences, the type of their finishing, the materials used in the interior design).

How is ladder (GOST) calculated?

The angle of inclination of the structure depends on how many steps there will be, on their height, as well as on the distance between them.

The standards define administrative documents - GOST and SNiP. The height of the steps of the stairs can be from 12 cm to 22 cm. The choice of a specific size is influenced by the location of the structure and its purpose. For those stairs that are used intensively and often, it is recommended to choose a value of about 14.5-17.5 cm.

Speaking about the depth of the tread (the horizontal plane on which a person steps), its optimal indicator should be indicated: the permitted range is from 25 cm to 40 cm.However, the most convenient are the steps, the width of which is 30-37 cm.

The rationale for these values ​​is the size of the average person's foot, as well as the width of his stride. If for some reason the optimal parameters cannot be applied or the planned slope of the stairs prevents the placement of steps of such dimensions, the project developers reduce the depth to 14.5 cm. At the same time, they provide for a protrusion that increases the depth by two or three centimeters (overhang of the step).

What is a riser and what should be its height

The height of the degrees of any staircase directly depends on the size of the riser and the thickness of the step itself. A riser is a vertical element located between two treads.

As already noted, the standard height of the stair step is 14.5-17.5 cm. In this case, the process of calculating the parameters provides for a mandatory check for convenience and safety. To do this, add the width of the tread and the height of the riser (according to the drawing). If the amount is between 44 cm and 48 cm, then the ladder can be considered safe.

Number of steps

Standard flight of stairs contains on average 12-15 steps. This amount allows most people to safely climb from the beginning to the end of the structure or to the entryway.

To determine how many steps the staircase will have, the craftsmen use the following method:

  1. Calculate or measure the total length of the staircase (the distance from the first step to the floor of the second floor).
  2. Divide the resulting length by the approximate height of the riser.
  3. The resulting size is rounded to an integer and recalculated taking into account the new data.

This algorithm is rather simplified, since many other factors are taken into account in the process of real calculations (thickness flooring on the first and second floors, the type of the staircase itself, the finishing of the steps).

Features of concrete stairs

Today, the choice of a staircase structure for many home owners is facilitated by the existence of ready-made modules made of high-quality concrete (grade at least B15).

Certified manufacturers are engaged in their manufacture, therefore, all the requirements of GOST and SNiP (height of steps of the stairs, their depth and width, as well as the angle of inclination) are met.

The use of such structures greatly facilitates, speeds up and reduces the cost of the construction of stairs. RC ladders are very durable and can be decorated various materials and technicians, therefore they are installed both in residential buildings and in public buildings.

Certain aspects of stair design

The height of the steps of the stairs (GOST provides for this) must be the same for all elements of the stairs. This is a mandatory requirement, which is designed to ensure the balance of a person moving between floors.

In addition, experts say that people are more comfortable completing an ascent or descent with the foot with which they started moving up the stairs. Therefore, many designs contain an odd number of degrees.

If the area between flights consists of several levels, the difference in their height should be equal to the step height.

Spiral staircases and their steps

When designing spiral or spiral staircases, designers have to deal with winders. The requirements for their height remain the same as for straight, pivot or combined structures.

However, due to the specific shape of the steps, the depth of the tread and the width of the staircase itself are subject to strict regulation.

This is due to the fact that moving on screw structures is not as convenient and safe as on traditional ones. For this reason, designers are not advised to build such a staircase as the main one.

Often spiral staircases are used to climb to the attic or as adjuvant movement. True, many modern designs screw type have a very Beautiful design and become the main decoration of the room. To increase the comfort of future residents, their width and height between the steps of the stairs should be as close as possible to the optimal parameters.

Spiral staircases are completely unsuitable for installation in public buildings and educational institutions. They should also be avoided if a person with reduced mobility will live in the house. True, if the owner still really wants to see just such a staircase in his house, he should place all significant objects and premises (bedroom, kitchen, living room) on the ground floor.

In order for the staircase structure to be safe and easy to use, it is necessary, when designing it, to adhere to the requirements of regulatory documents. Calculations are made in accordance with SNiP - stairs in residential buildings, steps and fences must be of appropriate dimensions. It is necessary to take into account all the factors affecting the staircase structure, its functionality, as well as reliability. An important point is its appearance, definition of style and structural load. In addition, it is worth considering the age of people who will live in the house and pay attention to the safety of movement of children.

Primary requirements

The planning of the staircase structure begins at the design stage and preparation of documentation. To do this, determine the location of its location, the height of the room, the available area, maximum loads, then select the possible structures and materials, then make the necessary calculations. All this is done before the start of work on the construction of the house - in the drawings and in explanatory notes, called technical documentation. Installation of structures, including staircases, is carried out only after the final approval of the project by the customer.

Ladder calculations must be made in such a way as to exclude the possibility of:

  • destruction and damage that can lead to termination of operation;
  • the appearance of cracks and deformations affecting safety;
  • non-compliance with the standard dimensions of structural elements.

According to the requirements of the relevant SNiP, staircases in residential buildings located between the floors of two-level apartments cannot have a march width of less than 0.9 meters, and a slope of less than 1: 1.25. The same standards are provided for both basement and basement floors. Marches installed on the stairwells of sectional buildings have slightly different parameters. Their width should be not less than 1.05 meters, and the slope should be no more than 1: 1.5 for two-storey buildings or 1: 1.75 for three or more storey structures. The SNiP states that the minimum width of the march of the corridor staircase should be 1.2 meters or more with a slope of 1: 1.75. It is worth noting that the width of the march is the distance between the railings, or the enclosing structure and the wall.

The norms also establish that with a difference in the levels of the base of the floor, the staircase can have at least three steps, and the interfloor march, with the exception of spiral staircases, - no more than 18 lifts. With a larger number of treads, intermediate platforms must be installed.

Highly important indicator, which is also defined by regulatory documents, is the minimum height from the step to the ceiling. It must be at least 1.90-2.00 meters. A shorter distance will cause inconvenience when moving people who are taller than average.

Sizes of steps and features of fences

Ladder requirements are set out in two main documents:

  • SNiP 2.08.01-89 * "Residential buildings";
  • SNiP 2.08.02-89 * "Public buildings and structures".

The regulations stipulate that the dimensions of the steps within the same march should not differ from each other. This is a necessary requirement for the safety of movement of people. When going down or up, a person involuntarily puts his foot at the distance that preceded his next step. Therefore, at different heights or widths of the steps, he may stumble and get injured.

Most optimal height the riser for intra-apartment stairs is considered by the designers to be 150 mm with a tread width of -300 mm. According to the norms, it is allowed to increase the riser up to 200 mm, but it cannot be made below 120 mm. The width of the treads can be reduced to 250 mm, although for mansard and basement stairs it is allowed to make a step depth of 200 mm. Wedge-shaped, or run-in, treads on the narrow side should have a width of at least 100 mm, and in the middle - at least 250 mm. All these dimensions are provided in the current regulatory documentation.
