DESIGN OF CONCRETE STAIRWAY

Design Criteria :
Materials strenght:
fc' = 20.76 mPa
fy = 276 mPa
24 kN/m

b = 0.85
Service load: kPa
1.9

Floor finish and toppings. 1.1
Miscellaneous dead load..... 0.5
tread 0.25
riser. 0.2

A. estimate the thickness of the slab
minimum thickness for simply supported slab to control deflection

note:
3. Compute for the required effective depth of the stair slab.
As required by the minimum thickness requirements of the ACI code.
note:
a) use a 12mmf main bars.
b) use a 20mm minimum concrete cover.

7. Reinforcements:
A. Main bars
As = rbd r = 0.005366 using 12mmf :

As = 397.0621 mm

use : 150mm
B. Temperature bars

Ast = 0.0018(1000)(100) mm
Ast = 270 mm
