Detailed Design of Stairs

Assuming the waist slab thickness approximately as 35-40 mm for every metre
longitudinal span.
Waist Slab thickness =

(Wst) = (L1+L2+L3)x40 =

256 mm

Dead weight of Waist Slab on inclined area (Dlws) = Wst x 0.025

Dlws =

256 x 0.025 =

6.4 kN/m2

Dead weight of Waist slab on Horizontal area (Dlwsh) =

Dlws x SQRT(Rise2 + Tread2)/Tread =
6.4x SQRT(150^2 +300^2)/(300) =
Dead Weight of Steps (Dwsteps) =
Dwsteps

1.000 kN/m2

Loading on Spans L1 and or L3 per metre run (Landing Portion) :

Wl1 = Wl3 = (Dlws + Lload + Finload) = (6.4 + 4 + 1)

11.400 kN/m

Loading on Span L2 per metre run (Flight Portion)

Wl2 = ((Dlwsh+Dwsteps+Lload+Finload)xwidth + Raiload)/width
Wl2 = ((7.155 + 1.875 + 4 + 1) x 1.5 + 1) /1.5 =

14.697 kN/m
