Abstract

Structural design of the staircase is a separate issue in the design and realization of residential buildings. The design needs to be addressed in terms of static, fire safety, layout requirements and in the case of wood-based apartment buildings, also in terms of acoustics. The paper deals with the design of the staircase in terms of all the above mentioned factors. In addressing this issue, emphasis is placed not only on the design of the staircase, but also on the construction itself. The author of the solution focused precisely on the area of the prefabrication in the construction solution. The staircase is designed as a separate space cell, which is produced as part of the pre-production preparation of the building, and is then installed as a finished product. This issue is addressed within the MPO TRIO FV10075 “New technology multi-storey energy efficient buildings made of glued sandwich panels with the possibility of foundation based ground screws using the technology of prefabricated housing units” project and the staircase solution is an integral part of this project.

Summary

Introduction

Timber construction is becoming increasingly important in the construction market. Wooden constructions are constructions, whose horizontal as well as vertical support structures are elements on material-based wood. Wood is a renewable material with the best ecological balance, has excellent thermal insulation properties, creates a pleasant environment and it works well on human psyche. Wooden buildings are not new; the biggest development was already recorded in the 14th century. The wood was replaced by other materials, especially for construction effort and, at that time, little developed technology and machinery for manufactory. Due to increasing demands for speed and accuracy of construction, the timber is once again the leading building material. The construction of the wooden building is very fast and can be built during the whole year. During the construction of the wooden building, only a few construction waste is produced, which has to be landfilled.
