The document provides two examples of designing reinforced concrete staircases. Example 1 details the design of a straight staircase, including load analysis, moment calculation, reinforcement design, shear design, deflection check, and crack control check. Example 2 details the design of an open-well staircase, following similar steps as Example 1. Both examples calculate loads, moments, and then size and layout reinforcement based on code requirements. The document is intended to demonstrate the process of designing reinforced concrete staircases through worked examples.

Example 1: Straight staircase design
A reinforced concrete staircase for office use is shown in
Figure 1. It is connected to a landing at upper part and supported by a beam at the end of the landing. At the end lower the stair supported by a beam and continuous with the floor slab. Design the staircase by using concrete grade 25 and strength of reinforcement of 500 N/mm2. The imposed load is 2.5 kN/m2 and finishes is 0.5 N/m2. Nominal cover, cnom is 25 mm. The width of staircase is 1500 mm, the thickness of landing is 150 mm and the waist thickness (h) is 150 mm. Design the reinforcement for the stairs. Use diameter bar = 10 mm.

Example 1: Straight staircase design
Load Analysis Average thickness of flight , y = h(G2 + R2)1/2/G = 150 ( 2502 + 1702)1/2/250 = 181.4 mm Average thickness, t = y + (R/2) = 181.4 + (170/2) = 266.4 mm

Example 1: Straight staircase design Check Crack Slab thickness, h = 150 mm < 200 mm
Main bar: Sv,max, slab = 3h ≤ 400 mm = 3(150) ≤ 400 mm , 450 mm ≥ 400 mm, Use 400 Actual bar spacing = 200 mm < 400 mm OK
Secondary bar: Smax, slab = 3.5h ≤ 450 mm = 450 mm , use 450 mm
Actual bar spacing = 400 < 450 mm, OK

Example 2: Open-well staircase design A staircase of 1.5 m width for an office building with slab supported on a beam at the top and and on the landing of the flight at right angles at the bottom is shown in Figure 2. The riser and goings of the stairs are 160 mm and 250 mm, respectively. The variable load is 3.0 kN/m2 and the permenant action from finishes, baluster and railing about 1.0 kN/m2. Materials used in this construction consist of concrete with characteristic strength, fck = 30 N/mm2 and steel strength, fyk = 500 N/mm2. The thickness of the landing is 150 mm and waist thickness (h) is 150 mm. Design the stairs if the concrete cover = 25 mm and the main bar diameter, main = 10 mm.

Tutorial 1: Staircase design
Design a straight reinforced concrete stairs supported by
reinforced concrete beams at both ends. Landing slabs at both ends of the stairs are cast together connecting the stairs. Using the following information, design the staircase. Concrete grade: C30/C37 Steel grade: 500 Perm. load from finishes, baluster and railing: 1.5 kN/m2 Variable load: 3.5 kN/m2 Cnom = 25 mm Bar size = 10 mm R = 180 mm G = 250 mm h = 120 mm

Tutorial 2: Staircase design
Figure 3 shows the plan view of open well stair support
by beam at the end of its landing. The risers are 160 mm, goings are 250 mm as shown in Figure 4, and story height is 3.5 m. Goings are provided with 3 cm thick marble finish on cement mortar that weights 1.0 kN/m2. The landings are surface finished with terrazzo tiles on sand filling that weighs 1.2 kN/m2. The stair is to be designed for a variable action of 3.0 kN/m2. Design the staircase by providing the reinforcement. Check the shear, deflection, and crack and illustrate the curtailments of the staircase. Use of concrete strength, fck = 30 N/mm2, steel strength, fyk = 500 N/mm2 and diameter of bar, φmain = 12 mm. Nominal cover, cnom for this stairs, is 25 mm.
