4.7.1 For the structure the unfactored loads used in the industrial field,
may vary from 1,5 kN/m2 for low density pedestrian traffic without
load, up to 5 kN/m2 for low density pedestrian traffic with load or
for high density pedestrian traffic.
4.7.2 Steps shall resist the following unfactored loadings:
If the width w < 1200 mm, then 1,5 kN shall be distributed over an
area of 100 mm x 100 mm where one boundary is the leading edge
of the nosing applied at the middle of the stair width;
If the width w 1200 mm, then respectively 1,5 kN shall be
distributed simultaneously over each of the 100 mm x 100 mm
areas applied at the most unfavourable points spaced at intervals of
600 mm where one boundary is the leading edge of the nosing.
The deflection between the structure and the steps under an unfactored
th
load shall not exceed 1/300 of the span or 6 mm whichever is the lesser.
For the purpose of designing a functional and safe stairway there are
recommendations, guidelines and codes of practice that have to be met.
