INTRODUCTION
Stairs are the conventional means of
access between floors in buildings. A
stair is described as a set of steps
leading form one floor to another and
a staircase includes the part of the
building surrounding the stair.

Stairs should be constructed to provide


real easy and safe access up and
downs, with steps that are either
laborious or difficult to climb within a
compact area so as to take up no
excessive floor area.

Transversly supported
Longitudinal spanning – simple supported
Straight flight concrete stairs
•The simplest type of stair is a straight flight between floors, without landings. Such a
staircase occupies a long narrow area and it is a useful form of stair when the total rise is
no too great.

•If the floor height is greater, the straight flight is tiring to ascend, and the flight can be
divided by a landing placed in the length of the stair.
String beam stairs

String stairs –
•
• Where there are load- bearing walls
around the staircase it is generally
economic to build the landings into
the side walls as one- way spanning
slab or supported by landing
trimmers.
• The strings may span between
landings to support the flights.
• The presence of the strings allows
using a thinner flight than in the
case of slab type therefore this stair
has somewhat lighter weight.

Flights are spanning


tranversly
Stringer beams are structural members that supports a floor or a deck along its
longitudinal direction.
They are also very useful in staircases where the thickness of the waist would be very
large relative to the span of the flight due to deflection requirement and also economy
in usage of materials.
Stringer beams when utilized in staircases can be designed either with two edge beams
(simplysupported) or with a central beam (double cantilever).
Figure 1 illustrates a simply supportedstaircase on two edge beams and a staircase
supported on a central stringer
Inclined Slab With half Space landing
Inclined slab stair – Excepting the cases when the span of the flight is very long, the
stair can be designed without strings.
The flight is designed to act as a slab spanning between the trimmers on a distance
that is measured on a horizontal line between the centres of the trimmers.
The effective depth is the waist thickness of the slab.
Cranked slab stair
Cranked slab stair – This type of stair doesn’t has trimmers.

In this case, the top and bottom landings, together with the flight, are

designed as an individual structural slab spanning between enclosing

walls or frame.
Monolithic cantilever stair – In this case the flights and landings are cast in situ and
cantilevered out from a wall and cast in situ together with this.
The wall that supports the stair elements can be the enclosing wall of the entire
staircase or a central spine one.
