Stairs


I would say that my article is inspired by watching the big bang theory. But, yeah that is a good thing to talk because on the same episode, I heard that Sheldon said that the stairs has a unique system. If every steps differs more than two millimeters, most people who walk through it will fall because they strip.

But, speaking of stairs, why most stairs are made in steps shape? I mean why we did not construct or design the stairs in a diagonal line without any steps just like a ladder?

Well, it does have reasons why most building designed the stairs with steps. Actually, all of the reason talks about the safety when we use it. In most cases, the stairs without steps which is just like inclining plane are more dangerous than the stairs with steps. The straight flight of stairs, is the name we put on it, creates nothing in difference either the landing or the winders. On the other hand, the straight plane makes us to see no challenge there so we can just run or walk without hesitation about the dangerous will happen.

But, I think many people do not construct it because the straight flights need more space than stairs with steps. Imagine, in addition to make a second floor in the height of 4 meters, the straight flight need must consider about the degree and the length of the floor. Based on the Pythagoras principle, in certain degree, the length of it is definitely calculated by the floor length and the height. Basically, the 30 degree is the maximum gradient people used the straight flight so the length of the flight will be around 8 meters. Unfortunately, 30 degrees is similar to people who go to hike in a mountain.


Overall, the stairs are made with certain circumstances which are not only based on the design of the stairs but also the safety.
