How to Construct Concrete Stairs
                     HOW TO 
CONSTRUCT 
CONCRETE 
STAIRS?
Concrete stair construction includes steps such as 
design, foundation preparation, formwork 
construction,rebar installation, concretepouring, 
finishing and curing. Concrete stair construction is a 
difficult task requiring technicians to study and design 
all aspects and skilled workers to build them.
DESIGNING OF CONCRETE STAIRS
Factors that affect stair design include floor height, 
stair width, riser depth, screw width, stair thickness, 
stair angle, and load on the stair. Other aspects 
require a qualified engineer to design the perfect 
staircase.

can be attached to it.
CONCRETE POURING OF CONCRETE STAIRS
Concrete stairs must be reinforced with rebar to support 
and transfer the loads acting on the stair to the ground. 
The number of reinforcing bars and the size of the 
reinforcing bars should be calculated by the structural 
engineer according to the loads acting on the stairs.

thermal expansion, proper curing should be done during 
these 21 days.
