DESIGN OF STAIRCASE

1.DATA:
number of steps in the flight=
tread T =
300 mm
Rise R=
150 mm
Width of landing beams=
fck=
20 N/mm2

10

300 mm

f y=

415 N/mm2
width of stair case b=

1000 mm

2.EFFECTIVE SPAN:
Effective span =(no of steps *thread )+width of landing beam
Effective span =
3300 mm=
3.3
thickness of waist slab =span /20=
165
adopt overall depth = D=
165 mm
effective depth=d=
140 mm=
3.LOADS:
Dead load on slab on slope =ws= D*1*25=

4.125

Dead load of slab on horizontal span is

ws

w=

R2 T 2
T

w=
4.61 KN/m
dead load on one step =(0.5*R*T*25)=
0.56
loads of steps per metre length = (d.l*b/T)=
1.88
finishes =
0.53 KN/m
total dead load =
7.58 KN/m
service live load=
5 KN/m
total load=
12.58 KN/m
factored load = wu= 1.5*t.l =
18.87 KN/m
4.BENDING MOMENTS:
maximum bending moment at centre of span is
Mu =
0.125 WuL2
Mu =

25.69 KN.m

5.CHECK OF DEPTH OF WAIST SLAB:

Mu=0.138fckbd2
by solving d =

6.MAIN REINFORCEMENTS:

96.47 mm<
hence safe

Mu=0.87fy Ast d 1 f y Ast

b tck

553.87 mm2

by solving Ast =

dia of bar=
no of bar =

12
5

so Ast =
553.8745
provide 12mm diameter bar at 200mm centres as mainreinforcem
7.DISTRIBUTION REINFORCEMENT:

distribution reinforcement = 0.12 percent of cross section

=

198 mm2

provide 8mm diameter bar at 200mm centres as distribution reinforcement
