There are 10 columns noted as C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 and C10
and total area = 100' * 60' (100feet*60feet)

Important Structural Drawings are:
- Centre line drawing
- Footing and column layout with reinforcement details
- Column schedule with reinforcement details
- Plinth Beam layout with reinforcement detail
- First floor Beam layout with the reinforcement detail
- First floor slab layout with reinforcement details
- Lift feet and headroom reinforcement details
This type of drawings provides information about structure, like strength of Different structural elements, structural materials, great, size and placement of reinforcement, the strength of building and how Beam, column, stairs etc are connected.
Column size (0.23mm*0.23mm)
Beam size (0.23mm*0.23mm)
Thickness of slab 150mm
Thickness of interior walls 150mm
Thickness of exterior walls 230mm
Wall height 3m
Dead Load
1) Columns
Assume column size is (0.23*0.23)
let's assume height of column be 3m
Column is made up of reinforced concrete
Dead load of column is,
Total volume of column=0.23*0.23*3=0.159m^3
Unit weight of concrete =25kN/m^3
Dead load of column=25*0.159=3.97kN
As all the coumns are of same size than the dead load on all the columns are also same i.e, 3.97kN/m
2)Beams
Given that bean size is(0.23*0.23)
let's assume the length of beam be 1m
Beam is made up of reinforced concrete
Dead load of beam is,
Total volume of beam=0.23*0.23*1=0.053m^3
Unit weight of concrete =25kN/m^3
Dead load on beam=25*1*0.053=1.32kN/m
As all the beams are of same size than the dead load on all the beams are also same i.e, 1.32kN/m.
3) Slabs
Given that thickness of slab is 150mm=0.15mm
let's assume the length and width of slab be 1m
Slab is made up of reinforced concrete
Dead load of slab is,
Total area of slab=0.15*1=0.15m^2
Unit weight of concrete =25kN/m^3
Dead load on slab=25*0.15=3.75kN/m^2
As all the slabs are of same size than the dead load on all the slabs are also same i.e, 3.75kN/m^2
4) Walls
Given that height of wall is 3m
let's assume the thickness of wall be 0.15m
Wall is made up of Brick masonary
Dead load of wall is,
Total area of wall=0.15*3=0.45m^2
Unit weight of concrete =25kN/m^3
Dead load on column=25*1*0.45=11.25kN/m^2
As all the walls are of same size than the dead load of all the walls are also same i.e, 11.25kN/m^2.
Wind Load:
As per IS 875 (Part 3) Wind load is considered above 10 m height of building so here in this case we did not consider wind load.
Live Load:
According to IS 875 (Part 2)
