    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
    Riser
    sawtooth staircases.
    • The waist slab supporting
    risers and treads is absent.
    • Risers & treads and
    tread
    sometimes soffits are the Without
    With waist slab main structural components. waist slab Outer soffit

    Construction process (in RCC)

    • Main centre is established. • Planks are raised • Planks are joined side by
    • Inner or/and outer curve vertically according to the side.
    is drawn and plotted on rising height of staircase. • Markings of particular
    the base level. steps are marked.

    Construction process (in RCC) continued

    • Supports for stringers, • Reinforcement bars are


    inner curve and risers are laid
    laid with plywood &
    bamboo
    • Concrete is poured and supports are
    removed when it gains strength of 25 MPa
    after nearly 28 days
