DESIGN OF PRE-CAST STAIR ACCORDING TO BS 8110, 1997

FIRST FLIGHT
1. DESIGN INPUT

1.1- Concrete denisty (g) = 25 kN/m3

1.2-Concrete strength (f`c) = 25 MPa
1.3-Steel yeild strength (fy) = 414 MPa

1.4-Stair length (L) = 3.800 m

1.5-Stair depth (T) = 0.200 m
1.6-Stair height (H) = 1.800 m
1.7-Bearing depth (Db) = 0.090 m
1.8-Step riser height ( R) = 0.164 m
1.9-Step width (E) = 0.280 m
1.10-Stair width (b) = 1.200 m

1.11-Stair finish (Fc) = 2.500 kN/m2

1.12-Stair live load (Qk) = 5.000 kN/m2
1.13-Bearing Width = 80 mm

2. LOAD CALCULATION

2.1-Stair equivalent depth (Te) = T+R/2 = 0.282 m

2.2-Stair effective length (Le) = (L^2 + H^2)^0.5 = 4.205 m
2.3-Owen weight (Ow) = Te x g = 7.050 kN/m2
2.3-Total dead load (Gk) = Fc + Ow = 9.550 kN/m2

2.4-Factored Load (Wu) = 1.4 Gk + 1.6 Qk = 21.37 kN/m2

2.5-Factored Moment (Mu) = Wu x Le^2 / 8 = 47.23 kN.m/m`
2.6-Factored Reaction (Vu) = Wu x Le / 2 = 44.93 kN/m`

3. DESIGN OF BEARING ENDS

3.1-Effective bearing length (Lb) is the least of the following:

3.1.1-member bearing length = 1.20 m
3.1.2-one half of bearing length + 100mm = 0.70 m
3.1.3- 600mm = 0.60 m
3.2-Hence the effective bearing length = 0.60 m
 3.3-Ultimate Bearing Stress (fbu) = 0.4 x f`c = 10.00 MPa
3.4-Net Bearing Width = Vu / (Lb x fbu) = 7.49 mm
3.5-Allowance for spalling and construction 15 + 25 = 40 mm
3.6-Total Bearing Width = Net +Allowance = 47.49 mm
3.7-Hence the bearing width provided is 80 > Width required……….Ok

4. DESIGN OF BEARING ENDS FOR MOMENT

4.1-Support reaction (Vu) = 44.93 kN/m`

4.2-lever arm (av) = 0.12 m
4.3-Ultimate Moment (Mu) = 5.39 kN.m

4.4-Effective depth = Db - 20mm = 0.070 m

K = 0.044 < 0.156 ………Ok

Z = min of 0.95d or d(0.5 + (0.25 - K/0.9) = 66.39083925

As = Mu / (0.95 fy Z) = 206.47 mm2

5. DESIGN OF BEARING ENDS FOR SHEAR

5.1-Concrete Shear Strength(vc) = 0.79 x A^0.33 x B ^0.25 x C^0.33 /1.25

A = As x 100 / (b x d) = 0.29
B = 400 / d = 1.00
C = f`c / 25 = 1
Hence Shear Strength (vc) = 0.42 MPa

5.2-Ultimate Shear Strength (vu) = Vu / (b x d) = 0.64 MPa

5.3-Steel Shear Strength (vs) = 0.4 MPa

5.4 Spacing between bars (S) = 100 mm

5.5-links area of steel (Asv) = 101.70 mm2

6. DESIGN OF STAIR SLAB

6.1-Ultimate Moment (Mu) = 47.23 kN.m

6.2-Effective stair depth(de) = T-25 = 175.0 mm
6.3-Effective stair width (be) = 1000 mm

K = 0.062 < 0.156 ………Ok

Z = min of 0.95d or d(0.5 + (0.25 - K/0.9) = 162.0469054

As = Mu / (0.95 fy Z) = 741.02 mm2
