Q. What is a landing in staircase?

Q. How do you calculate stair landing?
The height of the landing is determined by where it is located along the stair run. In this design, since it is half way from the top level, it is 8 steps high (8 x height of each step (6 7/8) equals 55 inches). The horizontal positioning of the mid-level landing is determined by the number of treads on the stair run.
Q. What are the dimensions of a stair landing?

A flight of stairs shall not have a vertical rise greater than 12 feet (3658 mm) between floor levels or landings. The width of each landing shall not be less than the stairway served. Every landing shall have a minimum dimension of 36 inches (914 mm) measured in the direction of travel.
