Construction Technology_Vaastu Shastra & Calculation of loads_Project 2

 G+1 Floor residential plan according to Vastu shastra:

The names of the structural drawings required to be provided to the site for construction are:

1. Centreline Drawing
2. Footing and Column layout with reinforcement details
3. Column Schedule with reinforcement details
4. Plinth Beam layout with reinforcement details
5. First floor Beam with reinforcement details
6. First-floor slab with reinforcement details
7. Lift pit and Headroom reinforcement details

Assumptions:

No of Storeys=Ground  + 1

Height of floor =3.2m centre to centre of the slab

Height of plinth =0.6m above the ground level

Size of Primary Beam = 0.23*0.45 m2

Size of secondary Beam = 0.23*0.3 m2

Size of column = 0.3*0.3 m2

External and internal wall thickness = 0.23m

Extension of slab on all sides from the column face = 1m

Consider height below the plinth to the top of the footing = 3m

Consider plinth height  = 0.6 m

The total height of the column from the roof to the footing = 3.2+3.2+0.6+3 =10m

LOADS:

Consider Safe Bearing Capacity of the soil = 200 KN/m2

Dead load are calculated as per the assumed dimensions of respective elements.

Live loads:

Live load as IS 875 - part 2

Live load on the roof slab = 1.5KN/m2

Live load on the Floor slab (For all rooms) = 3 KN/m2

Floor finish on floors = 1KN/m2

Terrace waterproofing = 0.8KN/m2

For Wall load the Door and Window deductions are not considered as the load due to Door and Window is included as wall load approximately

Snow loads are neglected

Wind loads of the Building is also neglected since the maximum height of the column is 10 m

As per the assumed dimensions of the structural elements loads calculated are;

Load of roof slab:

Self-weight of slab       = Thickness of slab*Unit weight of RCC*per unit area = 0.125*25*1

                                 = 3.13KN/m2

Live load on roof slab  = 1.5KN/m2

Floor finish                 = 1 KN/m2

Water proofing           = 0.8 KN/m2

Total load                   = 6.43 KN/m2

Load of Floor slab:

Self weight of floor slab = Thickness of slab*Unit weight of RCC*per unit area = 0.125*25*1

                                   = 3.13 KN/m2

Live load on floor slab   = 3 KN/m2

Floor finish                  = 1 KN/m2

Total load                   = 7.13 KN/m2

Load of Beams:

Self-weight of Primary Beams = Thickness of Beam*Unit weight of RCC*Depth of Beam= 0.23*25*0.45

                                            = 2.59 KN/m

Self-weight of Secondary Beams = Thickness of Beam*Unit weight of RCC*Depth of Beam= 0.23*25*0.3

                                            = 1.73 KN/m

Load of walls:

Height of wall = 3.2m-Depth of Beam =3.2-0.45=2.75m

Self-weight of wall = Thickness of wall*Unit weight of wall*height of the wall = 0.23*20*2.75

                           = 12.7 KN/m
