ASSIGNMENT 1 Instructions: Answer all questions. Please make sure you write down your name, matric no., section, semester/session, course code and name at the front page of your assignment. Question: A straight longitudinal reinforced concrete stairs supported by reinforced concrete beams at both ends is shown in FIGURE Q1. The staircase is specifically for the public building. Landing slabs at both ends of the stairs are monolithically connected to the stairs. The flight of staircase consists of 10 steps. The average thicknesses of staircase are 189 mm and 279 mm. Given the following data: Design action of landing Design action of flight Characteristic strength of concrete Characteristic strength of steel Unit weight of reinforced concrete Nominal concrete cover Beam size Upper Landing area Lower Landing area Diameter of reinforcement (a)
(b) (c) (d)
= 12.89 kN/m2 = 17.04 kN/m2 = 25 N/mm2 = 500 N/mm2 = 25 kN/m3 = 25 mm = 220 mm x 400 mm = 1200 mm x 1000 mm = 1500 mm x 1000 mm = 16 mm
The design concept of longitudinal span staircase mainly depends on the condition between flight and landing. If the flight and landing should be designed separately, describe the characteristics of the staircase. Give one example of the staircase. (4 marks) Determine the suitable size of riser, going and waist. (5 marks) Determine the total action, bending moment and shear force. (5 marks) Design shear resistance of the staircase if required longitudinal reinforcement is only 20% of maximum main reinforcement. (11 marks)

Q2
A longitudinal spanning monolithic staircase is purposely to be designed for a public building. It has two flights (Flight 1 and Flight 2) as shown in Figure Q1. The staircase has permanent and variable actions 2.0 kN/m2 and 4.0 kN/m2 respectively. Given the following data: Thickness of slab = 200 mm Characteristic strength of concrete, fck = 30 N/mm2 Characteristic strength of steel, fyk = 500 N/mm2 Beam size = 250 mm x 400 mm Nominal concrete cover = 35 mm Bar size = 12 mm (e)
If maximum dimension of riser is required for this staircase, determine the suitable size of riser and going. (3 MARKS)
Public buildings: R = not more than 180 mm, G = not be less than 255 mm Therefore, use maximum riser, R = 180 mm
(1 marks) (1/2 marks)
By using the formulae (BS 5395):
(2 x R) + G (2 x 180) + G G G
= 600 = 600 = (600 180(2)) = 240 mm
Minimum G for public building is 255 mm, G = 240 < 255,
Therefore, the value of G = 255 mm

Calculate and sketch the maximum moment for the Flight 1 and Flight 2. (12 MARKS)
Dimension: R = 180 mm; G = 255 mm; h = 200 mm
Average thickness: y = h [ (G2 + R2)1/2 / G ] = 200 [ (2552 + 1802)1/2 / 255 ] = 245 mm
