    Some building codes also specify a minimum riser height, often 5 inches (127 mm). [37] Riser-Tread formula: Sometimes the stair parameters will be something like riser plus tread equals 17–18 inches (432–457 mm); [38] another formula is 2 times riser + tread equals 24.6 inches (625 mm), the length of a stride.

    It is impractical to make different step heights for every single row. In practice the riser height is the same for a set of 4 or 5 rows at the bottom of the bowl with the number of rows in each same height set increasing for higher up rows. The uppermost tier could have only 2 or even 1 different step heights.

  4. Height restriction laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_restriction_laws

    Height restriction laws are laws that restrict the maximum height of structures. There are a variety of reasons for these measures. There are a variety of reasons for these measures. Some restrictions serve aesthetic values, such as blending in with other housing and not obscuring important landmarks.

  5. Escalator - Wikipedia

    The relative positions of these tracks cause the steps to form a staircase as they move out from under the comb plate. Along the straight section of the truss the tracks are at their maximum distance apart. This configuration forces the back of one step to be at a 90-degree angle relative to the step behind it.

  6. Stress concentration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_concentration

    The maximum stress felt near a hole or notch occurs in the area of lowest radius of curvature. In an elliptical hole of length 2 a {\displaystyle 2a} and width 2 b {\displaystyle 2b} , under a far-field stress σ 0 {\displaystyle \sigma _{0}} , the stress at the ends of the major axes is given by Inglis' equation: [ 5 ]

  7. Standard step method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Step_Method

    To find the length of the gradually varied flow transitions, iterate the “step length”, instead of height, at the boundary condition height until equations 4 and 5 agree. (e.g. For an M1 Profile, position 1 would be the downstream condition and you would solve for position two where the height is equal to normal depth.)

    If they are between 4 and 15 steps they will often be configured to have a top platform (on what would be the final step), and will have surrounding handrails – this style of safety step can be used at a maximum working height of 5 metres.

  9. List of tallest buildings in Singapore - Wikipedia

    A height restriction imposed on Singapore's central business district (CBD) limits buildings to a maximum height of 280 meters unless special permission to build higher is granted. It is in place due to the location of Paya Lebar Air Base. After the base's expected decommissioning in 2030, the restriction will be lifted. [9] [10] [11]
