Not very common
Consists of either solid wall or also arched
openings may be left for obtaining storage
space as shown
Stone slabs required as maintenance

 TYPES OF STAIR CASE
Depending upon the look of 1st stair its of
following types
Flier
Bull nose type
Round ended step
Splayed step
Commode step
Dancing step
Winder
 TYPES OF STAIR CASE
Bull nose , Round ended , Splayed , Commode , Dancing & Winders
 CLASSIFICATION
Stair case is of following types
Straight Stair Case
Turning Stair Case
Dog-legged Stair Case
Bifurcated Stair Case
Continuous Stair Case
 STRAIGHT STAIR CASE
Single , Double , Triple Flights
Number of landings
Number of treads & rises remains same
through out
Uses
STRAIGHT STAIR CASE
 TURNING STAIR CASE
Mainly three types i.e. Quarter turn , Half turn
and Three quarter turn
Quarter turn stair case construction & uses
Half turn stair case types and construction
Three quarter turn stair case construction and
uses
QUARTER TURN STAIR CASE
HALF TURN STAIR CASE (OPEN NEWEL)
THREE QUARTER TURN STAIR CASE
 DOG-LEGGED STAIR CASE
Name due to appearance
Solid newel category
Landings with half space or quarter space
with winders
No space between outer strings
DOG-LEGGED STAIR CASE(HALF SPACE LANDING)
DOG-LEGGED STAIR CASE(QUARTER SPACE LANDING)
 BIFURCATED STAIR CASE
Commonly used in public buildings
Wider flight at the bottom which bifurcates
into two narrower flights i.e. left & right
Types (Newel or Geometrical)
BIFURCATED STAIR CASE
 CONTINUOUS STAIR CASE
Divided into circular , spiral & helical stair case
Made up of R.C.C or metal
Found in space limited location
Used as emergency stair case; so found at the
back side of building mostly
All steps are winder type
SPIRAL STAIR CASE
HELICAL STAIR CASE
CIRCULAR STAIR CASE
 CONCLUSION
It should be fire resistive
Should carry heavy load
Should be proper oriented for decorative
purpose
