Stair facts
• In February 2003,
Canberra’s Paul Crake
won the Empire State
Building ‘run-up’ for the
fifth consecutive time
He ran up
• 86 levels
• 1576 stairs
• Rising 303m from start
to finish
in 9 minutes 33 seconds!
Stair facts
Paul ascended 1576 steps through
86 levels to rise 303m
That’s
• 3.52m per level
• Average 18.3 steps per
level
• 192.25mm per step
Stair geometry
Stair safety and geometry are relatedrhythmic movement along a straight line is
important for safe ascent or descent

Stair proportions

Stair angles
According to AS 1657-1992 (Fixed
platforms, walkways, stairways &
ladders- Design, construction &
installation), stairways should be
angled between 26.50 and 450That’s between 1 in 2 and 1 in 1
26.50
Rise = 1
Going = 2
450
Rise = 1
Going = 1
