Stair Design Calculation
Stair Design Calculation
Assuming the waist slab thickness approximately as 35-40 mm for every metre longitudinal
span.
Waist Slab thickness = (Wst) = (L1+L2+L3)x40 = 168 mm
Dead weight of Waist Slab on inclined area (Dlws) = Wst x 0.025
Dlws = 0.168 x 25 = 4.2 kN/m2
Dead weight of Waist slab on Horizontal area (Dlwsh) =
Dlws x SQRT(Rise2 + Tread2)/Tread =
4.2x SQRT(170^2 +230^2)/(230) = 5.223 kN/m2
Dead Weight of Steps (Dwsteps) = 0.5 x Rise x Conc Density =
Dwsteps = 0.5 x 170 x 25 / 1000 = 2.125 kN/m2
Live Load on the Stair Case (as per IS 875) = 3.000 kN/m2
Finishes Load on the Stair Case (if any) (Fin. Load = 1.500 kN/m2
Loading on Spans L1 and or L3 per metre run (Landing Portion) :
Wl1 = Wl3 = (Dlws + Lload + Finload) = (4.2 + 3 + 1.5) = 8.700 kN/m
Loading on Span L2 per metre run (Flight Portion)
Wl2 = ((Dlwsh+Dwsteps+Lload+Finload)xwidth + Raiload)/width
Wl2 = ((5.223 + 2.125 + 3 + 1.5) x 1 + 1) /1 = 12.848 kN/m

Ra 21.376 22.216 Rb
Reactions Ra and Rb
Taking moments of all forces about B
Ra x 4.2 = 8.7x1.5x(1+1.7+1.5x0.5) + 12.848x1.7(1+ 0.5x1.7) +8.7x1x0.5x1=
Ra x 4.8 = 89.77946 kN
Reaction at the support A = 21.376 kN
Rb = (8.7x1.5 + 12.848x1.7 + 8.7x1) - 21.376 = = 22.216 kN
Maximum BM Occurs at the point 'x' where SF is Zero or Changes its sign.
Point of Maximum Moment = 2.213 m
Max BM: 21.376 x 2.213 - 8.7 x 1.5 x (2.213-0.5x1.5) - 12.848 x 0.5 x (2.213 - 1.5)^2

Factored BM = 1.5 x 24.947 = 37.421 kNm
Required Effective Depth from Bending Point of View:

Mu limit = 0.133 fck bd
d (reqd) = Sqrt((Factored BM/(0.133 x fck) = Sqrt((37.421 x 1e+03) /(0.133x 30))
d (reqd) = 96.844 mm However Provide an Effective depth of 145 mm
Provide an overall depth of 170 mm
Factor Mu/bd2 = 37.4211e+03/145^2 = 1.78
Required percentage of steel (pt) = 0.442 %
Area of Steel Required = 640.9 12# @ 176.377 mm c/c
However provided steel = 12# @ 100 mm c/c %Ast prov = 0.78 %
