EXAMPLE 1.5 : STAIR SUPPORTED BY LANDING SPANNING PERPENDICULAR TO

STAIR FLIGHT

Design and detail a typical two flight stair shown in Figure 1.5 below. The flights are
spanning perpendicularly to each other sharing one common landing. The overall depth
of landing and waist of both flights is 150 mm, while the width of going and height of
riser are 255 mm and 170 mm respectively. Assume a variable load of 3.0 kN/m2 and
permanent load from finishes, baluster and railing of 1.0 kN/m2. Use grade 25 concrete,
grade 500 steel and nominal cover of 25mm.

3.0 ACTION

Landing:

Slab selfweight = 0.150 x 25 = 3.75 kN/m2

Permanent load (excluding selfweight) = 1.00 kN/m2

Characteristic permanent action, gk = 4.75 kN/m2

Characteristic variable action qk = 3.00 kN/m2

Design action, nd = 1.35gk + 1.5qk = 10.91 kN/m2

Flight:

Slab selfweight = 0.265 x 25 = 6.63 kN/m2

Permanent load (excluding selfweight) = 1.00 kN/m2

Characteristic permanent action, gk = 7.63 kN/m2

Characteristic variable action qk = 3.00 kN/m2

Design action, nd = 1.35gk + 1.5qk = 14.80 kN/m2
