Pacific Stair Corporations 100 Series Concrete Filled Stair System is our most affordable standard stair system.
Concrete stairs thickness. We recommend 2 thick minimum for concrete stair treads on up to 4. The pans are built to be filled with concrete after they are installed thus creating an. As a standard the minimum throat thickness should be at least 6.
To build your own concrete steps start by deciding on the number of stairs you need based on dimensions like the height of each stair which is typically around 6 to 8 inches. Enter the depth width and length of your concrete slab to calculate the number of cubic yards and concrete bags needed to complete your project. Thickness of waist and landing 200 mm.
How thick are concrete stairs. Dry volume 6804215410478 cft. Depth of riser 150mm.
Use sand or gravel as fill when more than a single step is being built. Methods used for finding slab thickness varies for different types of slabs. At the rear of each step and at the sides the minimum thickness is about 4 inches.
Often railings are through-drilled and mounted onto these treads and it is smart to have a thick chunk of concrete to distribute the weight load per sq inch where the railing is mounted. In short paving extra for additional concrete worth the maximized durability. Dry volume is increased by 54 in concrete reinforcement so we multiply cofactor 154 in wet volume to calculate dry volume.
Standard sizes include 24 32 40 48 60 and 72 long. The throat depth of the stairs is measured from the point where the rise and run cuts meet on the inside cut to the compacted gravel or inside form below. The effective span is 3 m and the rise of the stairs is 15 m with 260mm treads and 150 mm risers.
