    This document discusses the design of reinforced concrete stair slabs. There are two types of stair flights classified by the direction of their span: transverse and longitudinal. Transverse stairs are designed based on average effective depth, while longitudinal stairs require consideration of geometry, loading, and design factors such as end restraint and shear capacity. Detailing of stair slab reinforcement follows standard patterns using longitudinal main steel and transverse distribution steel to control cracking.

    RC Stair Slabs

    Types:
    There are two types of stair flights, classified on the direction of span:
    1. Transverse: The steps may be supported on both sides, or may be cantilevered
    from an adjacent wall, for example.
    2. Longitudinal: The stair flight spans onto landings or beams at either end of the
    stair flight.

    Design of Transverse Stairs:


    Design of these sections are based on the average effective depth of the section. These
    flights may cantilever from a wall or span from a wall to a stringer beam, for example.

    Design of Longitudinal Stairs:


    The design of these stairs is more complicated. The additional factors to consider are:

    1. Geometry:
    Given the rise, going and the number of steps, the span and overall height rise can
    be determined:
    Span = (No. Steps – 1) × going Height = No. Steps × rise
    Slope Length = √(Span2 + Height2)

    HEIGHT

    GOING 4

    RISE 1
    WAIST

    EFFECTIVE
    1 SPAN

    When the flight is built monolithically into members spanning at right angles to
    its span, the effective span is given by:
    la = 0.5(lb1 + lb2)
    where la = clear horizontal distance between supporting members
    lb1 = Breadth of supporting member at end 1 but ≤ 1.8 m
    lb2 = Breadth of supporting member at end 2 but ≤ 1.8 m

    Lecturer: Colin Caprani

    Otherwise the effective span should be taken as the distance between the
    centrelines of support, or the clear distance between support faces plus the
    effective depth, whichever is less.

    If a flight is built into a wall (which is running in the same direction as the span)
    by at least 110 mm, 150 mm can be taken off the loaded width of the stair flight.

    The thickness of the waist is taken as the slab thickness.

    2. Loading:
    The dead load is based on the slope length of the stair flight. The average
    thickness of the stair slab is used to calculate the dead load:
    h = 0.5 × rise × going / √(rise2 + going2) + waist + finishes
    Finishes are included as they are generally assumed to have a density equal to that
    of concrete.

    The live load is based on the plan area of the stairs and is to be taken as the same
    to the floor which the stairs give access, but ≥ 3 kN/m2 and ≤ 5 kN/m2.

    If two stair flights, at right angles, share a landing, the landing loads may be
    assumed to be divided equally between the spans. As part of the landing may be
    considered as part of the stair flight, the loading on the landing must be taken into
    account in the shear check.

    3. Design:
    Flights with significant end restraint, such as those that are continuous with their
    supporting slabs or beams may be designed for mid-span design moment of
    wl2/10 and hogging moment at the supports of the same value. Where there is not
    sufficient end restraint the stair slab is to be designed for wl2/8.

    The maximum shear should be ascertained from a simply-supported model of the


    stair slab. Shear should not be critical in a stair flight.

    When the stair flight (on plan) occupies at least 60% of the effective span, the
    permissible span/d ratio may be increased by 15%.

    4. Detailing:
    The reinforcement arrangement in stair flights follows a standard pattern.
    Deviation from this is not recommended unless a specific need arises.
    Longitudinal steel is the main reinforcement and in the transverse direction the
    minimum percentage of steel is provided as “distribution steel” to help prevent
    cracking.

    Strength requirements are not always critical for stair slabs. It is therefore
    essential that the other limit states are checked:
    a. Deflection
    b. Cracking
    c. Min % As
