Sketch a G+1 residential plan according to Vaastu Shastra and Calculation of Loads as per IS code

Sketch a G+1 floor plan , according to vastu shastra ,and list down the names of the structural drawing required to be provided to the members as per IS code

Also assume the sizes of the structural element ( column, beam , slab , etc ) and accordingly calculate the indivisual corresponding loads from the members as per IS code .

AIM :

. TO prepare a residential plan for G+1 floor accordingly to vaastu shastra and to calculate corresponding loads for

components of house .

OBJCTIVE :

. Floor plans are scale drawing that show the relations between rooms , spaces and physical features viewed from above

provide a way to visualize how people will move through the space .

. Project planning provides direction and standard of performance . it also helps to know about the risk and opportunity

coming ahed . plan is made and strategies are set by considering the company's rule , procedure , and policies .

. Vastu shastra is to bring perfect balance and harmony betweeen nature , people , their places of living and working .

thereby paving the way for peace , prosperity and happines to everyone .

PROCEDURE :

INDIAN CODES AND STANDARD USED FOR DESIGN :

. IS 456:2000 , revised 2016 for reinforced concrete structure .

. IS 875:1987 , revised 2018 ( part 1) for dead load

. IS 875:1987 , revised 2015 ( part 2) for live load

. IS 85:1987 , revised 2015 ( part 3) for wind load

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF VASTU SHASTRA AS FOLLOWED :

. The main door face should be in north , east , and north-east direction .

. Living room should face East , North or North-East , North-West facing

. Bedroom in South -West direction .

. Pooja room should be in East or North-East direction

. Kitchen should be in South-East direction is best

. Staircase shuld be in South-West direction is preferable

. Toilet should be in North-West direction

. Guest room in North-West direction is good as per vastu shastra

. Over head tank should be in West direction

. under ground tank should be North-East direction should be preferable

. courtyard ( bhramhasthan ) should be centre of the residence or house is prefer as a most powerful zone

DETAILED INTRODUCTION :

. The total area considered for the residential plan is 9.5mx18m or 171 sq.mtrs

DIMENSIONS OF G+1 FLOOR INTHIS RESIDENTIAL PLAN :

. Dimensions of master bedroom = 13'5" x 12'3"

. Dimensions of Guest room = 12'4" x 11'8"

. dimensions of kids bedroom = 12'4" x 11'8"

. dimensions of bathroom = 8'5" x 5'10"

. dimension of pooja room = 7' x 5'

ASSUMED DIMENSIONS OF OTHER UTILITIES IN THE HOME :

. Thickness of the external wall - 0.23m

. dimensions of each column - 0.3m x 0.3m

. dimensions of each beam - 0.3m x 0.45m

. height of each floor - 3m

. thickness of slab - 0.25m

. thickness of internal wall - 0.115m

. dimensions of main door - 1.5m x 2.5m

. dimension of the internal door - 1.4m x 2m

. dimension of window in living room - 3m x 1.5m

. dimension of window in bedroom - 1m x 1.5m

. dimension of ventilator in bathroom - 0.5m x 0.3m

LOAD CALCULATIONS FOR THE RESIDENTIAL PLAN COMPONENTS :

-- DEAD LOADS :

- COLUMN :-

. Total no of column in the design are ......

. The total load of each column is calculated from the total volume of column and unit weight of concrete

. The height of column from ground = slab thickness * 2 + height of each floor *2

= 0.250*2 + 3*2

= 6.5m

. size of column is 0.3m x 0.3m

. the volumn of each column is 0.3 x 0.3 x 6.5 = 0.558m^3

. unit weight of reinforced concrete = 25KN/m^3

. Dead load due to each column = 25*0.585 = 14.625KN

- BEAMS :-

. The dead load of the beam is calculated from the cross sectional area and unit weight of concrete and the load is

calculated in KN/m

. The dimensions of the beam are 0.3m x 0.45m

. unit weight of the reinforced concrete = 25KN/m^3

. Dead load due to beam = 25*0.3*045 = 3.375 KN/m .

- WALLS :-

. The dead load of the wall is calculated from the cross sectional area of the brick wall and unit weight of the brick wall

and the loads is calculated in KN/m

. Thickness of external wall considerd here is 230mm i.e 0.23m

. Thickness of internal wall considered here is 115mm i.e 0.115m

. Height of each wall is 3m i.e floor height differences

. unit weight of brick wall is 20KN/m^3

. Dead load due to external wall = 20*0.23*3 = 13.8 KN/m

. Dead load due to internal wall = 20*0.115*3 = 6.9 KN/m

. wall openings due should be removed when total load is being calculated

. wall openings such as doors , window , ventilation etc

-BRICK :-

. The standard dimensions of brick is given as 190mm x 90mm x 90mm

. the weight of standard bricks is 1.9kg or 18.63 N

. Dead load of brick = 18.632 N or 0.0186 KN

- SLAB :-

. The dead load of the slab is calculated from the thickness of slab and unit weight of reinforced concrete and the load

is calculated in KN/m^2

. thickness of slab considered as 250 mm or 0.25 m

. unit weight of reinforced concrete = 25KN/m^3

. Dead load of slab per m^2 = 25*1*1**0.25 = 6.25 KN/m^2

. while calculating slab load over bathrooms as the provided is a sunken slab the thickness of the slab is changed to

sunken by 200 mm to 300 mm depth

--LIVE LOAD CALCULATION :

As per table 1 of IS - 875 part 2 , for residential building :

- living / dinning - 2KN/m^2

- Kitchen - 2KN/m^2

- bedroom - 2KN/m^2

- bathroom - 2KN/m^2

- puja room - 2KN/m^2

- terrace - 3KN/m^2

-- WIND LOAD CALCULATION :

- The height of the house is 6.5m

- The windload acting on the structure is not significant for structure whose height is less than 10m

- therefore , 6.5m<10m , hence OK , no need to design for windload

-- RESULT : The residential plan for G+1 is made by hand as a temporaly . the plan consist of 1 master bed room ,

1 guest room , 1 child bedroom , 1 sitout , 3 toilet and balcony .

- the residential plan is made by using vastu shastra to enhance positive energy in the home

- The dimensions of beam , column , thickness , of wall and slab are assumed as per IS code
