DESIGN OF STAIR CASE

IN THIS SCENARIO THE LONGITUDINAL REINFORCEMENT SHALL

BE USED AS MAIN REINFORCEMENT

DIMENSION OF STAIRCASE
ft inch
Total LENGTH of stair case 10 0 input
Total HEIGHT of stair case 7 6
Total WIDTH of stair case 12 0
Height of riser 7.5
Length of run 10
Minimum Thickness of slab 8

No. of Riser =(Total Height/Height of Riser) 12

No.of Run =(Total Length/ Length of run) 12

Reinforcement yield strength 60000 psi
Concrete compressive strength 4000 psi

CALCULATION OF DEAD WEIGHT

Volume of each step = area of shaded regionxwidth of stair case

shaded area

Ф = Angle of incline of staircase

Tan-1 = Height of staircase/Horizontal length of staircase

tan-1 0.75
Ф = 36.87

Sum of Vertical side = Riseof step+[2x(thickness of slab/cosФ)]

= 27.5000 in²
Area of shaded region = 0.5x (sum of vertical sides)xrun

= 137.5 in²

Dead Weight = Area of shaded regionx unit weight of concrete

= 143.229 lb/step
= 171.875 lb/ft²
Unit Weight of Concrete = 150 lb/ft³

LIVE LOAD 100 lb/ft²

Load Combination Wu =1.2DL+1.6LL

Wu = 366.25 lb/ft²
0.36625 k/ft²
DESIGN FOR FLEXURE

L= Length of staircase/cosФ

L= 12.5 ft

Maximum Bending moment = Mu = wl²/8

Mu = 7.153 k.ft

using a rebar of dia = 0.375 in

minimum conc.Cover = 1.5 in

d= 6.3125 in

CALCULATION FOR MAXIMUM REINFORCEMENT

0.85fc'ba = Asfy
Where a =0.85C

For tension controlled system

c/d <= 0.375

C= 2.367
Therefore a = 2.012 in

As = 0.85fc'ba/fy

Asmax = 1.368 in²

CALCULATION FOR MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT

1/2
Asmin = 3(fc') bw d/fy

Asmin = 0.240 in²

CALCULATING FOR MAXIMUM REINFORCEMENT SPACING CONTROL OF

CRACK BY DISTRIBUTION OF REINFORCEMENT.
THE SPACING "S" OF STEEL REINFORCEMENT CLOSEST TO THE TENSION FACE
SHALL NOT EXCEED

S= 15(40,000/fs) -2.5Cc

where Cc = Concrete cover

fs = 2/3xfy

S= 11.40 in

CLACULATION FOR REINFORCEMENT REQUIREMENT

The factored nominal flexural strength is given by

ФMn = Ф Asfy [d-(a/2)]

Where Ф = 0.9

Where "a" is given by the following equation

0.85fc'ba = Asfy

Therefore
a= Asfy/0.85fc'b

a= 1.471As

a/2 = 0.735As

ФMn = Ф Asfy [d-(a/2)]

The above equation gives the following for the bottom of slab

85839.844 = 54000As x [6.3125- 0.74As

85839.844 = 340875As -39705.8823529412As²

By Hit & Trail mathod

85839.844 = 340875As -39705.8823529412As²

Let As = 0.26 in² put value here for trail & error

85839.844 = 85943.38 -103.539

Use Asreq = 0.26 in²/ft width

CHECK REINFORCEMENT

Assume reinforcement with the following specification

Bar Dia = 0.375 in

Area = 0.110447 in²
Spacing 8 in

Therefore As/ft width is given by As = 0.17 in²/ft width

Hence

Provided Reinforcement in slab = 0.24 in²/ft width

Provide D0.375 @ 8 c/c

DESIGN FOR SHEAR

Required shear strength Vu = wl/2

Vu = 2.29 kips

Vu = Vc+Vs

1/2
Where Vc = 2 (fc') bw d 9581.701 lbs

ФVc/2 = 4.791 kips

Vu<ФVc/2 OK

Transverse reinforcement shall be used to account for shrinkage.

Vs = 0.2538 in²/ft

Assume reinforcement with the following specification

Bar Dia = 0.5 in

Area = 0.19635 in²
Spacing 8 in

Therefore As/ft width is given by As = 0.3 in²/ft width
