Floating staircase, Construction
It is possible to calculate the torque against the chassis by taking
"the length of the pin step" * force i.e. 3000 * 1 = 3000 Nm
If you calculate on the middle step which is equally distant from the floor and ceiling, then the total force becomes 3000/1.3 = 2300 N
But since there will be 10 of those absorbing the force, wouldn't it be 230 N on each??

You can't calculate like that. You get a twisting moment that you need to transfer further in the construction. It becomes bending in your 300 profile. The deformation in this you then need to transfer to the "wall".
The 300-profile will hang in the 5 standing VKR beams.
The VKR beams will become an extension of the 300-profile.
The same torque against the 300-profile will be against the VKR beams.
So I don't understand why you can't use the same formula as torque but in reverse.
To get the twisting force at the end.

I have now received different information regarding the load on each mount in the floor and ceiling.
According to that information, each mount will be loaded with approximately 300 N per mount laterally.
So about 30 kg.
It's not that much.
Can someone confirm that?
