Stair Design
(OP)
I designed typical stairs and I designed stairs with slight curve. But I have not design a 360 degree stairs. Does anyone have a referrence to recommend or an advise on how to approach such design. I have been looking for a book or paper reguarding this subject.I have not found one. The stair will be supported at both ends only.

If he is silly, as a lot are: design each flight to cantilever from the floor.
But as a third step, if you are determined to make a curved stair work, search this site for other examples. I recall at least one within the last year.

Two steel examples which come to mind are at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland and the Air and Space Museum in DC.
