Designing for Stairs:

Main Data:
R=150 mm G=300 mm

Finishing load of the landing¿ 2 KN /m 2

Finishing load of the going¿ 1 KN /m 2

Plaster on the bottom side¿ 0.4 KN /m 2

Live load¿ 2.5 KN /m

Wu = 1.2 ( 8.65 ) +1.6 ( 2.5 ) = 14.38 KN/ m

For the entire width of the stair:

w uf =1.125∗16.3984=18.4482 KN/ m

w ul =1.125 * 14.38 =16.1775 KN/ m

Use 7 ∅ 16 mm within1.125 m∧use ∅ 12 mm @250 mm

and shrinkage reinforcement in secondary

direction.
5. Check for shear:
V u=54.23−16.1775 ( 0.2+0.222 )=47.40 KN

∅ V c =0.75∗0.17 √ 28∗1125∗222∗10−3=168.49 KN
∅ V c =168.49 KN >2 V u=94.8 KN … … . OK
