Staircase:-

Stairs provide access to the various floors of the building. The stair consists of series of steps with
landings at appropriate intervals. The stretch between the two landings is called flight. The Space, where
stairs are provided is called staircase.
To make it ease in understanding, I am calculating the quantities of a staircase by dividing into
components.
Components of Staircase:- 
Waist slab:  Waist slab refers to a slab of the stair that is inclining from the floor slab to the landing slab.
Flight: The series of steps between floor and landing.
Landing: The level of floor between flights.
Step: The step consists of Riser and tread.
Tread: The tread is the flat part that you step on.
Riser: The riser is the vertical (up and down) part between each tread in the stairway.

Finding out the Actual Length of Waist Slab:-

Steps to calculate the reinforcement required for Doglegged Staircase:-

1. Find the length of X Bar & Y bar
2. Find the No. of X Bars & Y bars
3. Evaluate the total length of X Bars & Y Bars
4. Find out the total weight of steel required.
From the above figure, staircase consists of two waist slabs 1 & 2. As reinforcement quantities varies
among waist slab 1 & 2.Let us calculate the quantities individually. Remember, the above mentioned
steps are same for both slabs.
Before diving into the calculation part, ensure that you are perfect in deducting the concrete cover. If
not? follow the below post first

Landing-1:- (Adopt Dia 8mm @100mm)
X bars of Landing-1 are tied with Slab reinforcement. hence, there is no further need of calculating the
steel required for Landing-2.
The X bars of Landing-1. are already added and calculated in Waist slab. Now, calculate the Y bars of
landing-1.
Concrete cover has been deducted from the length of Y bar from both sides.

ABSTRACT OF STAIRCASE REINFORCEMENT:-

Consider the stair section with reinforcement detail shown in the picture below.
Let the width of stair be: B=1.5 m.
Let's start with rebar labelled 8:
Center to center spacing(s) =150 mm
Length of bar (L) =2660 mm
Diameter of bar=12 mm
# of bar=B/s+1=1500/150+1=11B/s+1=1500/150+1=11
And bars labelled 6 to 9 follow the same calculation and their number is the same as 8 the only
difference is their length.
Bar labelled 5:
C/c spacing(s) =250 mm
Length (L) =930 mm
# of bars=1500/230+1=7.52 81500/230+1=7.52 8
Now we have the number of bars, we will calculate the total length of each bar.
5:
Total  length (l) =# of bars*L=8*930mm=7440 mm
6:
Total length=4.87m*11=53.56 m
And the calculation of other bars total length follows the same step.
Now that we have the total length of bars we can change the length into kg or ton, whichever is
convenient.
