7. (c) 20
(a) riser
(b) tread
(c) nosing
(d) waist
Explanation: In a staircase, the horizontal part is called tread.
Q 2: In a staircase, the horizontal dimension of a step is 250mm and the vertical dimen-
sion is 150mm. The vertical part is called
(a) riser
(b) tread
(c) nosing
(d) waist
Explanation: In a staircase, the vertical part is called riser.
Q 3: In a staircase, an edge part of the tread that protrudes over the riser beneath is
called
(a) riser
(b) tread
(c) nosing
(d) waist
Explanation: In a staircase, when nosing is present, measured horizontally, the total
"run" length of the stairs is not simply the sum of the tread lengths, as the treads
overlap each other.

Q 8: The tread depth of a step is 250mm and the rise height of a step is 150mm. Take
unit weight of reinforced concrete as 25.0kN/m3 . The weight of each step (without
waist) will be equal to
Q 9: The tread depth of a step is 250mm, the going depth of a step is 250mm, the rise
height of a step is 150mm and the depth of waist slab is 150mm. Take unit weight
of reinforced concrete as 25.0kN/m3 . The weight of each step (including waist) will
be equal to
(a) 1.172kN per m width of staircase
(b) 1.562kN per m width of staircase
(c) 1.953kN per m width of staircase
(d) 2.343kN per m width of staircase
Solution:
(i) Tread depth of step, T =250.0 mm
(v) Length
√ of step along waist slab, Bw
=√R2 + T 2
= 0.1502 + 0.2502
=291.5 mm
(vi) Unit weight of reinforced concrete, γrc =25.0 kN/m3
Q 10: The tread depth of a step is 250mm, the going depth of a step is 250mm, the rise
height of a step is 150mm and the depth of waist slab is 150mm. The thickness
of floor finish is 15mm. Take unit weight of reinforced concrete as 25.0kN/m3 and
unit weight of floor finish as 23.5kN/m3 The weight of each step (including waist)
will be equal to
(a) 0.825kN per m width of staircase
(b) 1.238kN per m width of staircase
(c) 1.650kN per m width of staircase
(d) 2.063kN per m width of staircase
Solution:
(i) Tread depth of step, T =250.0 mm
(v) Length
√ of step along waist slab, Bw
=√R2 + T 2
= 0.1502 + 0.2502
=291.5 mm
(vi) Thickness of floor finish, tf f =15.0 mm

(vi) Unit weight of reinforced concrete, γrc =25.0 kN/m3
25.0×0.150×0.292
= 0.250
=4.373 kN/m
(ix) Weight of each step(including waist) per m, wswm
=wstepm + wwaistm
