Self-weight of the steps measured horizontally as a horizontal slab with thickness

Live load taken as it is, since the load always applies to the plan dimension.

Activity 6.1
Design a longitudinally spanning stair with a span of 2975 mm.

Given:

Nominal axial live load, 3


Span of stair, L 2975 mm
Thickness of finish, 15 mm
Stair dimension rise, R 175 mm
Tread, T 300 mm
Nosing, N 25 mm
Going, G = T-N 275 mm
Waist, W 170 mm

Initial assumption:

Assume unit width of stair is taken for analysis


Concrete unit weight 24
Characteristic concrete cube strength, 30 MPa
Yield strength of steel in tension, 450 MPa
Flexural reinforcement diam. 12 mm
Distribution reinforcement diam. 8 mm
Concrete cover 20 mm

Design:

Loading:

Design loading: SLS


Self-weight: = 4.836
= 2.1
= 0.393
Total self-weight: = + + = 7.329
Live load: 3
Consider a unit width of stair b = 1 m

Design loading: ULS


Total design axial load, = 13.59

Design moment:
= 12.03 kN.m

Design reinforcement:

Assume effective depth, = 145 mm

Required reinforcement

= 0.016 < 0.156. Therefore, no compression reinforcement is required.

= 142.32 mm

= 0.981 > 0.95. Therefore take = 0.95

137.75 mm

= 223.1

Using bar 10 mm 78.54

No. of bars required = 2.84. Take 3

Spacing required = 333.3. Say S = 300 mm. Since the calculated spacing gives
, spacing is therefore reduced.

Provide Y10 @ 300 mm c/c per metre width of the stair.

= 261.8 =223.1 . Therefore, it is okay.

Span-effective depth ratio:

Assume

= 1- conservative

Service stress

= 250.23 MPa

Therefore,

Calculating the actual = 32.212 < . Therefore, it is okay.

Distribution reinforcement:

= 221

Using bar 8 mm 50.27

No. of bars required = 4.40. Take 5

Spacing required = 200. Say S = 200 mm

Provide Y8 @ 200 mm c/c per metre width of the stair.

= 251.330 =221 . Therefore, it is okay.
