INTRODUCTION
general principles involved in stair building, as well as knowledge of the layout and
construction.
Stair case are generally provided connecting successive floors of a building and in
small building they are the only means of access between the floors. The staircase comprises
of flight of steps generally with one or intermediate landing provided between the floor
levels.
The structural components of a flight of stair consists of:
A) Tread which forms the horizontal portion of the step. The tread is usually 250 to
300 mm wide depending upon the type of building.
B) Riser is the vertical distance between the adjacent treads or the vertical projection
of the step, generally in the range of 150 to 190 mm depending upon the type of
building. The width of stairs varies in the range of 1to 5 m with a minimum value
of 850mm. Generally public building should be provided with larger widths
permitting free passage to the users.
C) Going forms the horizontal plan projection of an inclined flight of steps between
the first and the last riser. A flight of steps consists of two landings and one going
with 10 to 12 steps.
Step - is a short horizontal surface for the foot to facilitate ascent from one level to
another. It commonly consists of a horizontal element called tread and a vertical element
called a riser. The external junction of the tread and riser is called a nosing and it provides as
wide a surface of tread as practicable.
1.2TYPES OF STAIRS
The staircase in a building is one means where by one may travel from the level of
one floor to another. The ease with which a stairway can be traveled depends upon the proper
proportioning of the riser and tread of each step and the number of steps in one series or

flight. The design of the building and the space allowed for stairs will control the type of
staircase which may be built.
Straight-Flight Stairs:
A stair extending in one direction only, with no turns. (or) Rises from the
floor to floor in one direction with or without an intermediate landing. Known as
cottage stair as well, commonly used in the traditional two-up two-down cottage.
The most economical use of the straight flight is to locate the stair in the centre of the
plan running for front to back.
180 degrees and continuing upwards. (or) Rises to a landing between floors, turns
through 180, then rises parallel to the lower flight to the floor above.
From the design point of view, the main advantages of a dog-leg stair are:
To allow an arrangement that occupies a shorter, though wider, floor area
than a straight flight, and so is more compact. Even though the landings consume
total floor space, there is no large single dimension
The upper floor is not directly visible from the bottom of the stairs, thereby
providing more privacy
An object or person falling from the upper half of the stairs is likely to stop at
the landing; this is safer than letting it fall all the way to the bottom.

Open-well stair:
Open well stair case adopted at where large spaces are available. This type of
stair case consists of smaller flights and provides better accessibility comfort and
good ventilation due to open well at the center.
SPIRAL STAIRS:
Spiral staircases have been used for hundreds of years, mainly because they may fit
into a small space, you can construct almost any material, at a great height. The old castle, the
towers were built in stone, in a direction that is left, so that they may be easier to maintain.

Design is the use of effective space, and comfortable. However, the spiral design allows for
some very interesting design, and architectural history of the great stairs.
applies in particular to the spiral staircase, you can create any conspiracy decoration inside
your home. Spiral stairs are very popular old industrial buildings converted into loft, this is
often a great height, so that different levels of space that will live.
In this case, the case of a spiral staircase can be concentrated in the family. Classic home can
also benefit from a spiral staircase design interesting, especially the library and research.
Railing can be combined as exquisite forest of trees, glass, rope, carpets and other materials,
only the owner of the imagination. However, in general, is called the spiral stairs in use when
space is limited, they can help to achieve as the large attic, you can then the conversion into a
youth more space, or Hen studio use less space is made nest empty.
Decorative door and the spiral stairs to be beautiful. Will be decorated with a style from
another efor. They will adapt to and any room decoration. Plus spiral staircases in the door,
continue taking good care of the lives of your family special.
Way back when it is still inside the house because of the construction and design. This is
indeed one of the metals, the most abundant element as it was the most common, plus it is
good he was. In addition, it is the fourth largest in the earths crust often.
Equipment is still the main reason that is so popular for the past. It is involved in several
decorative items, and use of weapons in the first.
Technological progress for the removal and treatment is complex, and more cost-effective.
This is the object that is big, like building the house of Gates and use in those days.
Iron is used nowadays an important quality in a variety of options: the actor, also have
forged. These types of materials in the world begins to be accurate.
Ore will be deleted after the original, ultra intense LA. Using this method were used in the

good things out in the heat, so they are environmentally friendly.
Initial treatment approach the end of the make pigs. This particular type of carbon with a

Although the adoption of a procedure to follow-up to get rid of carbon pending, the effects
can be metals, especially including plastisit forged done. Have forged is really a flexible
material, it is definitely not dry, with a shear stress to improve mood and increase the safety
of supply, compared with the cast.
Iron spiral staircase outside the door, and they need additional coverage for, including
helping the wind and rain. Why do them, and oxidation, rust compassion is.
This chemical reaction in some sort of special metal is not the oxygen and moisture. The
rust is usually made as coloring orange head.
Absolutely do not have the glass this time it is beginning to show, but it can greatly curb the
use of a variety of remedial measures. Position rusting in damages plus a risk the additional
deterioration. This is a lot of suggestions and responses from the beginning to avoid
ineffective.
This is indeed realistic expectations and increase the external spiral staircase to the door may
be wet. Generally considered to be protected by the leaves in the road, and wallsas sayi are
usually easy.
An effective way to resist corrosion is used in the area of special care when using the antiWest. All are different. Zen and the use of rust, but also take care of powdered natural.
Most of these solutions should be in the manufacturing sector on the production of the
project.
Component before processing, sales will be reduced sooner or later. As long as your external
gate, had become a spiral staircase installed, touch up often. Repeated use of the paint
coverage of the rusty means that.
How often you should take care of it depends on all relevant aspects. Areas are protected first
form, and the items already purchased. Many participate in the program continues with this,
compared with some others.
How to give good information and suppliers find it had crashed. This may be related to the
current thinking is that soon you will need to contact the project up below to buy you.

Aspect is the second time and the local climate. Internal and external spiral staircase to a
more warm, dry place will not be considered as easy. They still have the ability to walk a few
times years between the layers.
In the cold and wet, they may require treatment inbetween 2 and 6 years. In these areas have
a heavy rain, you may need to correct 2 years.
External spiral staircase and performance indicators that are updated from corrosion must be
immediately dealth. First, the corrosion, the best way you can possible. You can get a
professional to eliminate rust remedy, however, this usually involves elbow grease.
The least which can be used with wool or metal Scrub may be different robust, heavy things.
You can put a steel more substantial. In both cases, clean, until you see the metal to be

Small, will have a complete corrosion of metal in consumption. You can replace the bits may
be in the event, which causes rust. If not, you will need to place solder, eliminating the
exchange of additional projects.
Plus an external spiral staircase to do is buy a new long life is very high. Persistence has
always had good care. This includes the fields of corrosion, do get them. Using this method,
you will participate in the fun of it, as long as you live in your property.
ANGLED STAIRCASE:
Flights of stairs frequently alter direction through 90 degree but may be turned
through any angle, in response to site conditions or design choice, as long as landing have a
minimum width equal to that of the stair.

to the
CIRCULAR STAIRS
The stairs made in a circular form are known as the circular staircase.
LOADING:
The dead load is based on the slope length of the stair flight. The average thickness of the
stair slab is used to calculate the dead load:
Finishes are included as they are generally assumed to have a density equal to that
of concrete.
The live load is based on the plan area of the stairs and is to be taken as the same to the floor
which the stairs give access, but 3 kN/m2 and 5 kN/m2. If two stair flights, at right
angles, share a landing, the landing loads may be assumed to be divided equally between the
spans. As part of the landing may be considered as part of the stair flight, the loading on the
landing must be taken into account in the shear check.
DESIGN:
11 | P a g e
Flights with significant end restraint, such as those that are continuous with their supporting
slabs or beams may be designed for mid-span design moment of wl2/12 and hogging moment
at the supports of the same value. Where there is not sufficient end restraint the stair slab is to
be designed for wl2/8. The maximum shear should be ascertained from a simply-supported
model of the stair slab. Shear should not be critical in a stair flight. When the stair flight (on
plan) occupies at least 60% of the effective span, the permissible span/d ratio may be
increased by 15%.
DETAILING:
The reinforcement arrangement in stair flights follows a standard pattern. Deviation from this
is not recommended unless a specific need arises. Longitudinal steel is the main
reinforcement and in the transverse direction the minimum percentage of steel is provided as
distribution steel to help prevent cracking.
Strength requirements are not always critical for stair slabs. It is therefore essential that the
other limit states are checked:
a. Deflection
b. Cracking
c. Min % As

Figure9:COMPONENTS OF STAIRCASES
Tread: Horizontal upper portion of a step (or) The horizontal top portion of a step
where foot rests is known as tread. The dimension ranges from 270 mm for residential
buildings and factories to 300 mm for public buildings where large number of persons use the
staircase.
Riser: Vertical distance between two consecutive treads (or) The vertical distance
between two successive steps is termed as riser. The dimension of the riser ranges from 150
mm for public buildings to 190 mm for residential buildings and factories.
Going: Going is the horizontal projection between the first and the last riser of an
inclined flight.
Waist: The least thickness of stair slab (or) The thickness of the waist-slab on which
steps are made is known as waist. The depth (thickness) of the waist is the minimum
thickness perpendicular to the soffit of the staircase (cl. 33.3 of IS 456). The steps of the
staircase resting on waist-slab can be made of bricks or concrete.
Landing: A Horizontal slab provided between two flights (or) An area of floor at
the top of or between flights of stairs for changing direction in the stairs & providing a resting
place between long flights of stairs.

LITERATURE REVIEW
14 | P a g e
From the review of earlier investigations it is found that considerable work has been
done on the method of analysis and design of stair cases. Attempts have also been made by
various designers and research workers to give the ratio of optimized geometrical
parameters for the design of optimized parameters for the design of staging.
M.Y.H Bangash, T. Bangash studied on a review on free standing and geometric (spiral,
helical, elliptical, and combinations) staircases have become quite popular many variations of
these staircases exist. A number of researches have come forward with different concepts in
the fields of analytical, numerical, design and of experimental assessment. Design of stiar
cases deals with the general requirements for analyzing, designing and structural detailing of
stair cases in various materials. This chapter will assist with the analysis and design of
staircases.
Experimental efforts for service life prediction of Rebar corroded RC structures were
done by Ahmed et al. (1997). Neural network techniques have been applied for predicting the
life of concrete structures by Buenfeld and Hassanein 1998. Apart from the above research,
attempts have been made for the experimental and theoretical modeling of concrete
deterioration and laboratory measurement of related parameters. However, very limited inservice/field durability performance data are available to supplement laboratory or theoretical
modeling, particularly in India where concrete durability research is yet to gain momentum.
Idorn (1994) has rightly summarized the modeling research in concrete technology by
suggestion that scientific modeling research must be based on field performance monitoring
rather than the convey
(Gerwick 1996). A report of the U.S. National Materials Advisory Board, for
instance, indicates that in 1987 approximately 253,000 concrete bridge decks, some less than
20 years old, were Worldwide concern about unexpectedly low durability is being observed.
Low durability is being perceived as one of the potential threats to the future of the concrete
industry (Mehta and found to be in varying states of deterioration. A survey of automobile
parking garages in Canada (Litvan and Bickley 1987) found that several billion dollars
would be needed for the repair of concrete structures which had shown serious deterioration
much earlier than their designated service life. Cases of premature and serious deterioration
have been reported from around the world with undersea tunnels and with marine structures
in California and eastern Canada ntional empirical tartans of specimens as the source for
basic data banks for modeling.
15 | P a g e
(Gervick 1989). Even though no such data are available for India, undoubtedly the
amount spent on repair and rehabilitation of concrete structures would be staggering.
Durability and service life of concrete structures is mainly governed by micro
structural and transport properties of concrete and environmental exposed parameters. Some
constitutive and simulation models for theoretical and mathematical prediction of durability
and service life performance related micro structural engineering properties, e.g., porosity,
permeability, surface area, volume of phases, etc., have been proposed and modified.
Methods for analytical and experimental determination of physical and chemical
characteristics affecting the durability of concrete are proposed by Papadakis et al. (1992a, b).
Some in situ and laboratory methods are devised to measure the durability parameters. The
experience in applying these in situ test methods and interpreting their results in terms of
state of durability of reinforced concrete structures is limited. Of the available in situ test
methods, the better known are the initial surface absorption test after Figs (1973) water
absorption and air permeation tests. Test methods by Pihlajavaara and Paroll (1975) and
Kasai et al. (1984) are reported. In addition, many other in situ test methods based on both
water and gas permeation principles are suggested.
Dhiretal.(1991) and Miyagawa (1991), suggested durability based design methods
for concrete structures in chloride environments. Ahmed et al. (1997) proposed experimental
method for service life prediction of Rebar-corroded reinforced concrete RC structures. A
mathematical model for durability of cladding and building materials was proposed by
Hjelmstad et al. (1996) incorporating environmental stimuli, material degradation, and
structural performance. Some efforts have been made for reliability based service life
prediction of aging concrete structures by Mori and Ellingwood (1993) and Enright and
Frangopal (1998).
Physical and chemical characteristics affecting the durability and service life of
concrete structures are highlighted by the research of Papadakis et al. (1991b) and they also
proposed the fundamental modeling and experimentation for investigation of concrete
carbonation (Papadakis et al. 1991). Analysis of chloride diffusion into partially saturated
concrete was reported by Saetta et al. (1993).
According to B.C PUNMIA & ASHOK KUMAR JAIN staircase are used in almost
buildings. A staircase consists of number of steps arranged in series , with landing at
16 | P a g e
appropriate locations. For the purpose of giving access to different floors of a building. The
width of a staircase may defind on the purpose for which it is provided, and may be generally
vary between 1m for residential building to 2m for public buildings. A flight is the length of
the staircase situated between two landings. The number of steps in a flight may vary
between 3 to 12. The rise of a step and the tread should be so proportioned that it gives
comportable access. Generally, the sum of the tread plus twice the rise is kept about 500 mm
and the product of tread and rise is kept about 40000 to 42000. in residentail building s the
rise may vary between 150mm to 180mm and tread between 200mm to 250mm. In public
building s, rise is kept between 120mm to 150mm and tread between 200m to 300mm.
N. Krishna Raju, Emeritus Professor of Civil Engineering, Stair case are generally
provided connecting successive floors of a building and in small building they are the only
means of access between the floors. The staircase comprises of flight of steps generally with
one or intermediate landing provided between the floor levels.
The structural components of a flight of stair consists of: Tread which forms the
horizontal portion of the step. The tread is usually 250 to 300 mm wide depending upon the
type of building. Riser is the vertical distance between the adjacent treads or the vertical
projection of the step, generally in the range of 150 to 190 mm depending upon the type of
building. The width of stairs varies in the range of 1to 5 m with a minimum value of 850mm.
Generally public building should be provided with larger widths permitting free passage to
the users. Going forms the horizontal plan projection of an inclined flight of steps between
the first and the last riser. A flight of steps consists of two landings and one going with 10 to
12 steps.
Rules
of thumb for determining satisfactory rise/run ratios have existed atleast since
formula two times the unit rise, plus the unit run = 25.5", or unit rise = (25.5" - unit run) over
2. This formula works well only for moderate values for unit rise (or unit run). It was,
nonetheless, enshrined inthe National Fire Code.

reinforcement is provided in the direction of L, while distribution reinforcement is
provided parallel to flight direction. A waist of 8cm is provided.
Here , either the waist slabs or the slab components of isolated tread-slab and traderiser units are supported on their sides or are cantilevers along the width direction from a
