Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The maximum bending moment per metre width for longitudinally spanning stairs casted along with their landings is taken as wl²/8, where w is the load per unit area and l is the span length. This formula is derived based on the assumption that the stairs and their landings behave as simply supported beams.
