Cantilevered staircases

Article Abstract:

Cantilever stairs primarily achieve their stability by the nose of each tread resting on the tread beneath it, while being prevented from tipping backwards by torsional restraint from the wall embedment. The structural problems that can ultimately lead to the collapse of the treads are given and the way fractured treads can stay in place for years is explained.
