How to calculate the angle of staircase?/ Calculating slope of staircase.

 Let us now find out the angle or slope of the staircase as shown below.

Type-1:

If the riser & tread are known.




Given data:

Riser = 160mm.

Tread = 250mm.


Slope 

     = [riser ÷ tread]

     = [ 160mm.÷ 250mm.]

     = 0.64

Here, slope = tanθ

So, 

tanθ = 0.64

θ = tan-1 0.64

  = 32.62°


2. Type-2

If the height & horizontal distance of the staircase are known.



Given data:

Height of landing = 1300mm.

Horizontal distance = 2000mm.


tanθ = [opposite ÷ adjacent]

        = [height ÷ horizontal distance]

         = [ 1300mm.÷ 2000mm.]

     = 0.65

θ = tan-1 0.65

  = 33.02°
