Total angle subtended = 240 0 Helix Constants (From Charts):
on plan by helix, β b/h = 10.0 NO
0
Angle of spiral tangent = 25 R 1 /R 2 = 1.06
to horizontal plane , Ø k1 = -0.12
Int. spiral radius, R i = 0.9 m k2 = 1.52
Ext. spiral radius, R o = 2.1 m k3 = -0.32
Assumption: Ends of helical stair are fixed / continuous with adjacent slab
Stair Comfortability Check (Supt. is away from stair steps)
Threads + 2 x Riser = 850 mm Adjust Step Dim.! (550mm < T+2R < 700mm)
Rad. of load centre line, R 1 = 1.58 m 0.85
Rad. of step centre line, R 2 = 1.5 m

LOADING
LC 1: Dead Load
Length of helical stair = 7.27 m
Perpendicular length to waist top = 199.87 mm
Average thickness of waist = 219.93 mm
Waist s/w = 0.220 x 24 = 5.28 kN/m²
Finishes = 0.000 x 22 = 0.00 kN/m²
Total Dead load = 5.3 kN/m²
LC 2: Imposed Load
BS 6399-1 Imposed Load (kN) = 3 kN/m²
Design Load at flight, n = 1.4 x 5.28 + 1.6 x 3.00 = 12.19 kN/m²
n = 14.63 kN/m

ANALYSIS
a. Midspan and support actions only:

b. Detailed analysis:
At any pont 'x' along the helix,
0
Angle subtended on plan, β x = 60
0
Angle diff btw 'x' and mid, Ɵ x = 60

Vertical Moment, M v = M 0 CosƟ x + H.R 2 Ɵ x SinƟ x TanØ x - nR 1 2 (1-Co = 0.9 kNm

Norm. Shear,V n , normal to plan = n.R 1 Ɵ x CosØ x - HSinƟ x SinØ x = 9.7 kN

Lateral Moment, M n = M 0 SinƟ x .SinØ x - H.R 2 Ɵ x TanØ x CosƟ x SinØ x - H.R 2 SinƟ x CosØ x + nR 1 SinØ x (R 1 SinƟ x - R 2 Ɵ x )
= -47.9 kNm
Lateral Shear, V h , across plan = HCosƟx = 16.7 kN
Torsion, T = (M 0 SinƟ x - H.R 2 Ɵ x CosƟ x TanØ x + nR 1 2 SinƟ x - nR 1 R 2 Ɵ x )CosØ x + H.R 2 .SinƟ x SinØ x
