I'm looking for resources - books or websites - with some detailed info about framing and pouring floating concrete steps (see pic). I've poured some basic steps before but nothing like this. Any info would be much appreciated.

Happy Thanksgiving!

No expert here...... I don't know if you could pour that in one continuous placement. Maybe one step at a time? No idea. I don't know how you'd brace what you've shown. Precast?

I have never seen those either. Almost look like precast units that were brought out and installed with spacers/ some type of anchoring material. Almost too clean looking to have been formed, poured and hand finished. I dunno. JMO

That's what they are. We have them all over the city and they go in just like stone.

They look like a lot of work to clean. I'd be worried that my butler would leave us if I had him sweep those things all the time...
