Hi,
Has anyone any experiance in designing curved concrete stairs (without using finite element analysis software). A point in the right direction would be appreciated especially UK codes.
Thanks.

I always like making stairs look like they have no visible means of support!

One of the two toughest things I've ever designed...

Good stuff. Did you re-analyse the stair with the help of computer program, and see how close your calculation was?
RE: Curved Concrete Stairs
Very good engineering.
RE: Curved Concrete Stairs
Again well done.
RE: Curved Concrete Stairs
Did you look at Reynolds & Steedman Handbook? Also the published another book on BS 8110 Code
These two books would give you a solution to your prblem.

Our firm is looking for some software for 2-way slabs and other more complicated concrete design.
Any suggestions?

Quite curious after these magnificent stairs!
(I've walked down them, and admired them, prior to seeing them here... Would give almost anything to see a scan of the structural details!)

That link didn't work for me, but I have it on my list to see if I ever get through Santa Fe. Thanks.
