Schematicdiagrams of a stair slab and the analysis model of a unit cell. (a) A stair slab consisting of an inclined slab and a series of identical steps. (b) The assumed normal stresses in the path A-C-D for the unit cell. (c) The normal stress distribution of the unit cell. (d) The equivalent flat slab.
