stairs - concreting section - where is stop?

(OP)
Hi guys

I got suspeect few times when i saw the concreting sections on the site. See here on of the photos. Can this be right?
The new section will basicaly act only as share fors on the bars. This doesn't look to correct?

What is the right way to do it?
i attached some samples sketches maybe you could give a comment on it.

RE: stairs - concreting section - where is stop?

I can possibly work alright if you cast new concrete onto existing concrete with reinforcement extending across the shear plane.  This would be a shear friction method with a smooth plane of concrete at the interface.  Probably not the best detail but can work.

One thing you can do is roughen the surface of the concrete with a chipping hammer to get a higher friction across the joint.

I get the impression you are not from the US (from the language on the photo) so the ACI 318 code may not be applicable (its Chapter 11 Shear Friction provisions are the applicable section).  

 

RE: stairs - concreting section - where is stop?

A or B. Not D and no reason for C. Like JAE said shear friction should easily carry the shear.

RE: stairs - concreting section - where is stop?

I prefer B or C.  I regard shear friction as black magic, and never allow A.

RE: stairs - concreting section - where is stop?

Hmm...I'd go with A.

The others just don't look right if the right hand landing is hanging from the left hand stair structure.
 

RE: stairs - concreting section - where is stop?

I'm with hokie B or C, maybe an alternative E where you us shear dowel across the joint.

RE: stairs - concreting section - where is stop?

JAE,

I took it that the stair was bearing on the landing/floor, not the other way around.  The landing and flights are normally cast between previously built floors.

RE: stairs - concreting section - where is stop?

In any case, in part due to being folded plates, reinforced concrete stair slabs are between the noblest friends of structural designers, considering the treatment they have to stand.  
Fortunately.
