Introduction
A helical staircase is a
staircase that is curved in
plain and following the
directrix of a full helix.
In three-dimensional space, a
helical surface is generated by
moving a straight line such
that the moving line is
perpendicular to the helix.

Types of helical staircases
Two types of helical staircases in RCC construction (depending on slab underneath):
• Here the waist slab supports
the risers and treads.
• It is the main structural
element of staircase.
• It thickness should be 100-
200mm.
Inner soffit
• Simply can be called curved

sawtooth staircases.
• The waist slab supporting
risers and treads is absent.
• Risers & treads and
