The stair tread depth is typically how many inches more than the run so that it sticks out?
Meems
Your run should always be longer than the rise. Current International Residential Code states the rise cannot be greater than 7-3/4" and the run cannot be less than 10". A common stair stringer has a 7" rise with a 11" run. rip your stair tread to 12" , this will over hang the run on the stringer by 1", when you install your toe kicks, use 3/4" material and you will wind up with a 1/4" overhang on each tread. Of course there are different ways to do this, but I believe this is most common.

The stair tread depth is typically- more than the run so that it sticks out nose?
Nosing is not taken into account when calculating initial stair set-out, but added later. The rise of a residential stair in the US is 8" and the run is 10" with a nose of 1". This means that the tread depth is 10", the height from stair to stair is 8" and the tread sticks out 1" over the the tread below. It is still 10" from front to back. A commercial stair is 7" rise, 11" run, 1" nose.

How long should a stairs be for a single story?
For a single-story building, the ideal height for each stair step is around 7 inches, and the ideal depth (since you only have one story) is around 11 inches. This creates a comfortable and safe staircase to navigate.
How do you measure stairs in Linear Feet?
Linear feet is the total length of the staircase. Add the height and depth of the step (not width of the stairwell) with the depth of the overhang of the step. Take that number times by the number of stairs. Linear Feet = (Height of Stair + Depth of Stair + Depth of Lip) x Number of Stairs Don't forget to add an extra bit for the landing if you have one.

The stair tread depth is typicaly how many inches more than the run so that it sticks out?
The 'nosing' of a tread is typically 25-30mm(1-1 1/4").This measurement is taken from the face of the riser. The 2006 International Residential Code (IRC) states the information about stairs below. You should check with your local building department to verify applicability. R311.5.3 Stair treads and risers. R311.5.3.1 Riser height. The maximum riser height shall be 7¾ inches (196 mm). The riser shall be measured vertically between leading edges of the adjacent treads. The greatest riser height within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch (9.5 mm). R311.5.3.2 Tread depth. The minimum tread depth shall be 10 inches (254 mm). The tread depth shall be measured horizontally between the vertical planes of the foremost projection of adjacent treads and at a right angle to the tread's leading edge. The greatest tread depth within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch (9.5 mm). Winder treads shall have a minimum tread depth of 10 inches (254 mm) measured as above at a point 12 inches (305 mm) from the side where the treads are narrower. Winder treads shall have a minimum tread depth of 6 inches (152 mm) at any point. Within any flight of stairs, the largest winder tread depth at the 12 inch (305 mm) walk line shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch (9.5 mm). Hope this helps! TL North, CBO
How high should a stair handrail be?
In the US, building codes require that handrail be located between 34 and 38 inches above the stair nosing.
What is an open string staircase?
The string, or board that forms the side (or sides) of the stair, is cut out level with each tread (in a zig zag shape) such that the edge of each of the treads sticks out past the side of the stair.
How many inches does the Stair tread depth typically stick out more than the run?
there are no set inches .... stairs are cut to a RATIO of the amount of space you need to climb [ say to the second floor of a house or to the top of a deck ] the steeper you make the stairs the higher this ratio will be. 10 inches of tread - and 8 inches of rise - is a common ballpark figure ... you cannot just decide i want my steps to be ______ height. you much use math and figure out how many steps can be divided equally into the total height. local building codes sometimes set a minimum and maximum height to the individual risers. making steps with one odd sized riser [ say shorter or higher than all the rest of the stairs so that it comes out correctly- and usually on the bottom step ] is a HUGE no-no as well. things too look up on the web are "framing square" and "stair stringer"
A question regarding the stair parts - What is the difference between a stair handrailing and a stair guard rail?
There really is not a difference. A guard rail has a handrail on it so they are really the same thing. All staircases must be designed to fit any guard-rail type building code. No spaces greater than 4 inches and no less than 36 inches tall. Source: http://www.stairpartsblog.com
What is the minimum height for a stair riser?
Six foot and eight inches is usually code, but check codes locally.
