Design of Floor and Stair Case Stone for Solution to Slip and Fall Accident

Abstract

It is very dangerous case to slip and fall incident while walking in smooth texture of manmade or natural granite and other polished floor and stair case stones. Here coefficient of friction is less than 0.5 when laying surface to wet, oil, ice etc, this condition which results falling action, usually old age peoples suffers lot of problems, and middle age peoples recovers from falling because of their muscle stiffness. Nowadays almost everyone are using granite stone which looks attractive and these are very dangerous. The failure of material is so common in smooth texture compared to rough one. Further this paper will predict high COF stones yielding lesser amount of falling and slipping.
