DESIGN OF STAIRS

Use:
Tread (t) = 230 mm
Rise (r) = 150 mm
Live Load = 2.8 KPa

CHECK FOR LIMITATIONS: n × t = 18 steps × 230 mm = 4140 mm

a) r + t < 430 L = √ 41402 +27002 = 4942.6 mm

150 + 230 = 380 < 430 ok!

L 4942.6
Smin = = =247.13 mm

b) 2r + t < 635

2(150) + 230 =530 < 635 ok! Say, 250 mm thickness of slab
c) r × t < 48000
Wt. of slab:
150 (230) = 34500 < 48000 ok!

d) 200 > 230 > 100 ok! S √ r 2 +t 2
