Stairs

Stairs may be easily defined by specifying their centreline. Landings may be ,also, applied after the insertion of the stairs member in the project.

On the Properties Window users can further define the stairs’ width, the riser height, the stairs minimum depth, the elevation difference relatively to the base and the top floor level, as well as the self weight and the additional permanent, live and snow loads; the latter is required only by ASCE 41-23 and TBDY. The self-weight of the stairs may be automatically calculated according to the stairs’ geometry, materials and specific weight or a user-defined value may be used.

Notes

1. The self-weight of the stairs may be automatically calculated according to the stairs’ geometry, materials and specific weight or a user-defined value may be used.
2. Slabs are modelled in SeismoBuild with elastic elements of the same width .
