Staircase Repair |
Generally due to the method
of construction of staircases in residential buildings,
staircases get damaged due to corrosion very quickly.
The main reason for this is the landing / midlanding jalli
work. The jalli is prone to seepage of water from rain beating
side.
Many times there is no weathershed
from this side. As a result, rainwater seeps through the
stairway. This also gets accumulated on steps and landing
(which generally do not have proper slope). It then seeps
through the staircase and causes corrosion of reinforcement.
Treatment methodology is similar
to the procedure for repairs to concrete damaged by corrosion.
If the reinforcement is damaged a great extent, then provide
wiremesh from underside of staircase while repairing.
The best long remedy
is to provide weathershed (made from ferrocement) or from
GI sheets / FRP sheets etc so that rain water entry into
landing / midlanding is prevented.
