The structural design of Bifurcated Staircase (or Split Staircase, sometimes they are referred to as) is hardly available in any text books. The design will depend upon span, direction of turn, supports etc. You may have to design it on your own. You can use design software also to model it and analyse. Please post the complete details of your case here.

Dear Harsoda sir,
Can you please post the relevant excerpts on the design of Bifurcated staircase available in the book, as the book is difficult to access ?

Er Lokesh,
Could you find any reference for the design of Bifurcated staircase ? If you can send detailed drawing, I may try the analysis using STAAD Plate modelling, when I get leisure time. esjayakumar67@gmail.com
