Steel-Framed Stairway Design

No multi-story building can do without stairs, yet the design of these critical building components is commonly overlooked or left to other parties. Drawing from the wisdom of the author of AISC Design Guide 34, Steel-Framed Stairway Design, this two-part webinar will address the necessary coordination, layout, and structural design considerations to raise your next building or industrial structure project to the next level.

Select Q&A from the Webinar Series

Part 1 – Overview & Gravity Loading (5/14/2020)

Part 1 will touch on common problems confronted by stairway designers and focus on structural issues related to gravity loads. Topics will include:

    • Common issues related to design and construction of steel-framed stairways
    • Stair types, members, and components
    • Code requirements specific to stairways for gravity loading, as defined by the IBC and OSHA
    • Steel stairway member and connection design
    • Design examples

Part 2 – Seismic Loads & Delegated Design (5/21/2020)

In Part 2, the focus will shift to issues related to lateral loads, especially seismic demands. Topics will include:

    • Code requirements specific to stairways for seismic loading, as per the IBC and ASCE 7
    • Delegated design considerations
    • Coordination between project team members: stair designer and architect, engineer of record, detailer, fabricator, and erector
