Multiply the tread depth by the whole number obtained.

Determine the final thickness of the floor assembly.

Measure the height of the stairwell.

What is the final step in determining the stairwell length?

Determine the final thickness of the floor assembly above the stairs.

Add the floor assembly thickness to the code-required headroom.

Divide the stairwell length by the number of risers.

In the process of determining the unit rise/run for a preframed stairwell, what should be done after determining the final thickness of the floor assembly?

Divide the stairwell length by the number of risers.

Check the unit run-to-rise ratio using the applicable rule.

Determine the optimum unit rise (riser height) in inches.

How is the unit run (tread width) obtained in the process of determining the unit rise/run for a preframed stairwell?

By dividing the stairwell length by the number of risers.

By determining the optimum unit rise.

By adding the floor assembly thickness to the code-required headroom.

By checking the unit run-to-rise ratio using the applicable rule.

What is the final step in the process of determining the unit rise/run for a preframed stairwell?
