A concrete stairs has 13- 250 mm treads and the risers are 200 mm high. The steps are supported on a 200 mm thick slab, reinforced with 12 mm diameter Grade 40 bars @ 125 mm O.C. If the slab is simply supported and fc' = 21 MPa, what is the max. LL that the stairs can carry based on the Strength Design specifications of 2001?
