1. Introduction Structural design is a very essential in many civil engineering works due to the result of safe design and economical of the structure. In structural design of reinforced concrete structures it involves the determination of the size and appropriate reinforcement so that the structure will serve for its purpose for the intended design period. So in this project we dealt about helical stairs which are astatically improved type of stairs that are used to link two floors in a public building. We hope that these two designs can be an alternative stair in the building where the obviously dog type stairs are inappropriate .we use Ethiopian building code (EBCS) in the limit state design of these helical stair. This project comprises

Result and discussion
Recommendation and future work
In the literature part it gives detailed information about stairs and helical stairs particularly. In the second part (body text), it sort out the procedure and approaches that should be followed in the design of helical stair case. In the third part there is detailed figural calculation using the procedures in the body text for the two stairs and there is a detailed reinforcement of both stair cases. In the last part we will recommend the feasibility of the design with respect to economy and site constraints.

2. Literature survey 2.1 Definition A stair may be defined as a set of steps leading from one floor to the other to afford a means of communications between the various floors of a building. The space in a building where the stair is located is called staircase for multi-storied flat buildings the staircase should be located either centrally or two staircases at two ends of the building.
2.2 Terms in stairs There are some important t technical terms used in connection with stairs are given below. Flight
- A continuous set of steps from floor to floor, floor to landing or Landing to landing is called a flight.
Landing – A platform at the end of the series of steps is called landing. Depending upon the arrangement of steps it may be half-landing Or quarter landing. Tread-
It is the horizontal part of a step on which the foot rests.
Rise –
It is the vertical distance between two consecutive treads or steps.
Riser –
The vertical member between two consecutive treads is known as Riser.
Nosing – It is the projected edge of a tread. Stringer –It is the sloping member in a stair which supports the steps. Newel – This is a post of a heavy section set at the two ends of a handrail. Balusters –These are intermediate vertical members supporting the handrail. Handrail –It is a rail of water or wood provided at the side of a stair for Safety and is fixed at about waist height parallel to the line of Nosing. Line of nosing -This is an imaginary line joining the noising points and it is

2.3 Essential requirements Apart from structural design there are essential requirement for a stair. These are The width of a stair should be 0.9m for residential building and 1.35m for public buildings. The slope of the stair should not be greater than 45º and not less than 25º with the horizontal. The stair should be well-lighted and ventilated. All the risers and treads should be made uniform. The number of steps in a flight should not be more than 12. The head room in a stair should be at least 2m. The width of landing should be equal to the width of the stair. The width of tread should be from 225-275mm and the riser should not be more than 175mm and not less than 150mm. The nosing should not project beyond 15mm.
There are some thumb rules for proportioning steps. These are Rise + Tread=42.5 to 45cm 2 Rise +Tread=58.0 to 62cm Rise *Tread=420 to 460 sq.cm
2.4 Classification of stair case 2.4.1 –Based on material of construction Stairs are mostly made of concrete with reinforcement steel. In hilly areas and in forests where timber is readily available in plenty, wooden stairs are built in residential quarters and forest bungalows. For low-cost housing, pre cast light weight concrete steps are used. Stone steps are used very seldom. It is especially built in construction of temples.

2.5 Helical stair case Since stairs renders access to various floors the choice of the stair best fit for a certain building depending on the aesthetic value needed for that building and the economy. But we will specifically deal with the economical choice between two types of helical stair case. Helical stairs can be modeled as geometric stair and spiral stair. These stairs mostly constructed in R.c.c, iron or stone.
2.5.1 Spiral (circular) stair –commonly provided at the back side of a building. In this form of stair all the steps radiate from the newel post or well hole, in the form of winders. These kinds of Rc stair cases can be analyzed as curved beam and there are internal stresses developed due to the specialty of the structure. The two critical moments are bending moment about the principal plane and the torsional moment and also shear force transferred to the circular column also create stress on the column.
2.5.2 Geometric stair – These type of stair have same principal like spiral one where the steps radiate from the shear wall and the forward and backward flight is curved and the change in direction is obtained through winder.

Where
etot =total eccentricity K=relative eccentricity ratio α=is the function of relative normal force.

The relative eccentricity erel =181.67 / 200

Design of the stair slab. Design of the spiral stair plate must consider the two dominant stresses and reinforcement must be applied to resist the tensile stress in the plate. These stresses are
1.due to bending along the radial line 2. due to torsion

Structural design………………………………………………………….ceng 501 investigators develop their own approximation to find the area of reinforcement to resist torsional stress. In this project we design for the stress caused by torsion as that of dome structure since they have nearly same structural feature. And also the analysis of the dome is done dividing the structure in to horizontal strips which gives us curved beams as that of the spiral stair. In dome structure there are meridonal thrust and hoop stress, where the torsional effects create as that of hoop stress in the concrete plate. Force act on unit length of the ring are
1. Meridonal trust, T, per unit of the circle of latitude ef acting tangentially or at right angleto the radial line of.
2. The reaction of trust T+dT per unit length of the circle of latitude gh acting at right angle to the radial line og. 3. The weight of the ring
So T=2pr*rs
where rs=or-os =or-ofcosϑ =r (1-cosϑ)
Since the sum of the vertical component of the trust T, acting along the along the Circumference of the circle must be equal to the weight of the portion the dome it,then we have

Or T*2p*r sinQ* sinQ=2p* r (1-cosQ) 2
T=Wr((1-cos Q)/ sin Q
. On the account of the difference in the
magnitude
of T and
dT there is the rise of hoop force
Let H be the hoop force per unit length, the breadth of the ring rdQ hoop force= H* rdQ Horizontal component of T is T cosQ produces hoop tension The magnitude of hoop tension = T cosQ*radius of the ring = T cosQ*r sinQ T+dT also produce the same effect but in opposite direction resulting hoop compression in the ring.
= (T+dQ) cos (Q+dQ)*r*(sinQ+dQ) Hence the difference of the horizontal components of the two trusts causes the actual hoop compression or tension. The hoop force on the ring in illustration is due to the change in the magnitude of T,when Q increases by a very small dT when this increases tends to zero,e have
H*r* dQ=d (T cosQ*r sinQ)
from the above 2
H=W*r*(d/dQ)*(( cosQ/ sinQ)-( cos Q/ sinQ) 2
hoop force is H=W*r (cos Q+ cosQ-1)/(1+ cosQ) and the stress=H/thickness of the dome . Stress=horizontal force/thickness of the plate. =H/t

For the total height the critical force and moment is at the bottom of the column. Axial load due to self weight. =gc*t*h*l=24*0.15*4*1.885=27.144KN Then the total axial load including self weight (Nsd) Nsd

when we align the loaded part (which is half circle) in to the rectangular form ,we know that eo is zero but when we deal with the half circle the load is at the centroid of the half circle. since we want to design the full circle, we place the concentrated load at the centroid of the full circle so by doing this, there is the emergence of the moment with eccentricity eo . Total eccentricity(e tot ) e tot = ee + ea +eo =26.67+456+400 =882.67mm

5. Recommendations and future work
In conclusion to these designs, spiral and geometric as part of helical stair, we hope that they can help as an alternative structures beside other staircases in which most building comprise. The best example is doglegged staircase. The best alternative to apply these two designs where when we don’t have any room for stair case installation in the building , so that they can be construct out side the building. The type of the building also have significant effect on the selection of stair cases so,One should specify the use of the building. Since due to the aesthetic out put spiral Rc designs can be applied for a places like cafeterias, trade centers. Site condition should be investigated properly because each design needs safe and sufficient foundation. Height of the construction should be specified to select with respect to economy and workability. Since reinforcement placement and form work construction of the spiral stair is a little bit complicated than other types there is a need for skilled person.
And finally we would like to inform for any one who reads this project work, it is possible to know the best fit and economical structure by laying out a take off sheet for the volume of the concrete, the total form work per meter square and bar schedule for the total weight of the reinforcing bar and by providing their respective unit price then preparing bill of quantity will tell as which is the most economical.
