Landing

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Staircase referred paragraph or platform a horizontal platform that the staircase interrupts and divides a staircase into smaller segments. This is for convenience for the user, safety in the event of a fall and for changes in the direction of walking on straight stairs .

arrangement

In the case of longer flights of stairs, a straight intermediate landing should be arranged at least every 18 steps in accordance with DIN 18065 Section 6.3.2 or every 20 steps in accordance with ÖNORM B 5371 and be at least 90 cm long. Otherwise, longer flights of stairs are no longer easy to walk on. The state building regulations do not state anything about the requirement for intermediate landings depending on the number of steps.

The size of these platforms depends primarily on the space required for the transport of bulky goods. The length of the landing should be at least as long as the usable width of the stairs. However, this does not apply to monumental stairs or other extra-wide stairs.

In addition, a platform should have a length that takes into account the average stride length (about 65 cm). The sequence of steps on the steps (right foot, left foot, etc.) should be able to be adhered to in such a way that an odd number of steps is followed by an even number of steps on the landing or vice versa, as otherwise there is a "limping feeling" in the further course of the stairs (if you repeatedly step on the first step with the same foot after a podium). The length of the platform is calculated using the step formula P = a + n * 65 cm [platform length = step (last step) + number of steps × 65 cm].
