ASSIGNMENT 1

INDIVIDUAL
FIGURE shows a part of key-plan of school building. The main corridor of classroom floor is
built as cantilever slab which connected to mezzanine floor by a spanning straight staircase.
There are six (6) number of risers with total height of 1080 mm and five (5) number of goings
with total length of 1350 mm. The beams consist of continuous component with overall size
of 300 mm x 600 mm. Given the following specification:
Design life = 50 years
Strength of concrete, fck = 27 MPa
Strength of steel, fyk = 500 MPa
Nominal cover = 35 mm
Unit weight of concrete = 25 kN/m3
Floor finishing = 1.25 kN/m2
Consider the spanning straight staircase with maximum variable action and slab thickness of
160mm,
a. Draw the cross-section of staircase complete with respective of dimensions and
thicknesses.
b. Analyse the bending moment and shear force of the staircase.
c. Verify that A10 or A393 should be sufficiently provided for the main and secondary
reinforcements.
d. Check the serviceability of the staircase in term of cracking control
