Staircase Design for Moshi fire station

Given:

Staircase Room Size = 4.192m x 3.29 m

Width of Landing = 1.2 m

Floor to Floor height = 3.6 m

3.6
Height of one Flight = =1.8 m
2

Let us select steps of Rise = 152 mm

1800
Number of Risers = = 12
152

Hence number of Trades required 12-1= 11

Loads:

Assume depth of Waist Slab D = 200 mm

Let us find load per meter horizontal width of stairs

150
Weight of Waist Slab = 0.200√1 + (300) ^2 x 25

= 6.00 kN/m
1
Weight of Steps = x 0.152 x 25
2

= 2 kN/m

Dead Load = 6.00+2.00 = 8.00 kN/m

In going portion with finishing load = 9.00 kN/m

In Landing Portion DL = 0.2 x 1 x25 = 5 kN/m

With finishing material, it may be taken as = 6 kN/m

Live Load = 3 kN/m2

Factored load on going per meter horizontal width =

1.5(9.00+3)

= 18.00 kN/m

Factored load on landing per meter horizontal width = 1.5(6+3)

= 13.5 kN/m

Design Moment:

RA+ RB = 70kN

∑moment = 0

(RB x 4.192)-(13x1.12x3.633)-(18x3.072x3.072x0.5)=0

RB=32.8 kN

RA=37.12 kN

Maximum moment:

Mu = (38.12x3.072)-(18x3.072x3.072x0.5)

Mu =30 kN-m

Check for Depth:

Mulim = 0.133fckbd2

Mulim = 0.133 x 25 x 1000 x 1752

Mulim = 101kNm

Mulim> Mu …………OK
