Hi all,

Self weight of staircase = 25 X 0.15 X Sqrt(R^2+T^2)/T

25 - Unit weight of RCC(kN/m^2)
0.15 - waist slab thickness(m)

What is the reason we are dividing with T ?

The load acts vertically downwards.The load acting along the inclined slab is the cosine value of (25X0.15)?

Please explain.

Thanks&Regards,
Sathya.

Sqrt(R^2+T^2)/T is nothing but 1/Cosθ, (θ being the inclination of the waist slab to the horizontal) which is multiplied to convert the dead load of the waist slab per unit area along the inclination, to load per unit area projected in the horizontal plane.
