EXAMPLE 1.2 : STAIR SPANNING LONGITUDINALLY WITH LANDING AND CONTINUOUS

AT ONE END

A longitudinal straight reinforced concrete stairs supported by reinforced concrete

beams at both ends is shown in the figure (unit mm). Landing slabs at both ends of the
stairs are monolithically connected to the stairs. Using grade 25 concrete and grade 500
steel, design the stair for a variable action of 3.0.kN/m2 and permanent action from
finishes, baluster and railing of 1.2.kN/m2. Assume nominal concrete cover = 25 mm
and bar size = 10 mm.

3.0 ACTION AND ANALYSIS

Landing:

Slab selfweight = 0.16 x 25 = 4.00 kN/m2

Permanent load (excluding selfweight) = 1.20 kN/m2

Characteristic permanent action, gk = 5.20 kN/m2

Characteristic variable action qk = 3.00 kN/m2

Design action, nd = 1.35gk + 1.5qk = 11.52 kN/m2

Flight:

Slab selfweight = 0.276 x 25 = 6.90 kN/m2

Permanent load (excluding selfweight) = 1.20 kN/m2

Characteristic permanent action, gk = 8.10 kN/m2

Characteristic variable action qk = 3.00 kN/m2

Design action, nd = 1.35gk + 1.5qk = 15.44 kN/m2
