Estimation of loads
Loads on going
Effective span=1942+1029+1029=4000mm
Waist slab thickness=L/20=4000/20=200mm
Assuming 10mm diameter bars and 25mm cover,
Effective depth=200-25-10/2=170mm Effective depth
Self-weight of slab =170mm
√(R2+T2) = √ (1502+2502) =292mm
=24*0.2*(292/250) =5.6kN/m2
Self-weight of steps=24*0.15*0.25=0.9kN/m2 Total loads on going
Total loads on going=5.6+0.9+1.0+3.0=10.5kN/m2 =10.5kN/m2
Loads on landing
Assume 180mm thick slab for landing Effective
Effective depth=180-25-10/2=150mm depth=150mm
Self-weight of slab
=0.18*24=4.32kN/m2
Total loads on landing=4.32+1.0+3.0=8.32kN/m2 Total loads on
Assuming a factor of safety of 1.5 landing=8.32kN/m2
Factored loads:
Going=10.5*1.5=15.75kN/m2 Going=15.75kN/m2
Landing=8.32*1.5=12.48kN/m2 Landing=12.48kN/
m2

Bending Moment

RA=RB= (12.48*1.029+15.75*1.942+12.48*1.029)/2
=28.14kN/m2*1m=28.14kN RA=RB=28.14kN
At mid span,
Mu=WL2/2
= (28.14*2)-1.0(12.48*1.029) *(2-1.029/2) -(15.75*(2.0- Mu=42.63kN/m
1.029)2/2=42.63kNm
For landing at a distance 1.029m from B,
Mu= (28.14*1.029)-1.0(12.48*1.029*1.029)/2=22.35kNm Mu=22.35kN/m

Check for depth

Landing d=80.5<150mm
d2=22.35*106/0.138*25*1000=80.5mm<150mm(provided)
