Finite Element Analysis of a Steel Spiral Staircase with Multiple Supports

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents finite element analyses of a steel spiral staircase with multiple supports. The complex geometries were modeled using commercial finite element method (FEM) software. Linear elastic analyses were carried out to investigate its deformation and moment distribution. Besides these, mode analysis was also performed to explore its pedestrian comfort. Finally the reliability of the structure is proved.
