Approximate Design Dead Load of Stairs

Approximate Design Dead Load of Stairs

Approximate Design Dead Load of Stairs

(OP)
I need to know a good estimate on the weight (psf) of Steel Bar Grate Stair Treads & Stair Stringers.  I have a stair imposing loading on a slab.  I need to check the slab for the laods, but I don't know what the dead loads are for stairs of this type.  I just need a safe ballpark assumption.

RE: Approximate Design Dead Load of Stairs

Try C10x15.3 stringers with 15#/ft for handrails and 9.4 psf for bar grates.
