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

Ans: Ground and first Floor are of same deisgn as it is a residential plan

Floor Plan

Other Dimensions

• Thickness of internal wall - 0.15m (150 mm)
• Thickness of external wall - 0.23m (230 mm)
• Thickness of slab - 0.25 m (250 mm)
• Dimensions of column - 0.3 m * 0.3 m
• Dimensions of beam - 0.3 m * 0.45 m
• Height of the wall of each other - 3m

Vaastu Shastra followed during planning is –

• Entrance of the house is provided in the east direction which is the symbol of progress in life
• Living room is placed in northeast direction
• Master bedroom is placed in southwest position this direction brings good health and prosperity
• Study room is placed in east direction
• Staircase is placed at northwest corner.
• Bathroom, WC, and toilet is placed in west direction

Calculation of Loads: -

1. Dead Load

1. Dead Load of Columns
2. Dead load of columns –

Dimension of column = 0.3 m * 0.3 m (300 mm * 300 mm)

Height of Column = (Slab thickness * 2) + (Height of wall of each floor * 2)

Total Volume of concrete = 0.3 * 0.3 * 7 = 0.63 m ^ 3.

Unit weight of RCC = 25 KN / m^3.

Unit weight of building materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (Part -1)

Dead load of columns = 25 * 0.63 = 15.75 KN

1. Dead load of Beams

Dimension of column = 0.3 m * 0.45 m (300 mm * 450 mm)

Height of Column = (Slab thickness * 2) + (Height of wall of each floor * 2)

Total Volume of concrete = 0.3 * 0.45 * 1 = 0.135 m ^ 3.

Unit weight of RCC = 25 KN / m^3.

Unit weight of building materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (Part -1)

Dead load of columns = 25 * 0.135 = 3.375 KN

1. Dead load of Slab

Slab is always designed for the span of 1m.

Hence assume size of slab as 1 m * 1 m.

Density of RCC = 25 KN/m^3

Self-weight of Slab = 1 * 1 * 0.25 * 25 = 6.25 KN

1. Dead load of Walls

Dead load of external wall

Thickness of External Wall = 0.23 m (230 mm)

Unit weight of brick wall = 20 KN / m^3

They are calculated as per the code IS 875 Part 1

Height of wall = 3 m.

Load of wall on beam = 3 * 0.23 * 20 = 13.8 KN.

Dead load of internal wall

Thickness of External Wall = 0.15 m (150 mm)

Unit weight of brick wall = 20 KN / m^3

They are calculated as per the code IS 875 Part 1

Height of wall = 3 m.

Load of wall on beam = 3 * 0.15 * 20 = 9 KN.

1. Live Load

As Per the IS 875 Part 3 Table 2

S.No	Place	Load
1	Living Room	2 kN/m^2
2	Kitchen	3 kN/m^2
3	Bedroom	2 kN/m^2
4	Toilet	2kN/m^2
5	Storeroom	5 kN/m^2
6	Dining Room	4 kN/m^2
7	Staircase	3 kN/m^2
8	Puja Room	2 kN/m^2
9	Terrace	3 kN/m^2

1. Wind Load Calculations

• The Height of the height is 7 m
• The wind load acting on the structure is not significant whose height is less than10m.
• Therefore
• 5m < 10 m, hence it is safe
• There is no need to design for the win load

Codes used

References and IS codes used for the design-

IS 875 Part 1 for dead load

IS 875 Part 2 for live load

IS 875 Part 3 for wind load

IS 456: 2000 for Reinforced Concrete

Conclusion

• The Residential Plan for G+1 is made in AutoCAD.
• All the Vaastu elements are considered while designing the plan of the house
• The dimensions of beam, Column, thickness of wall and slab are assumed as per IS code.
• Dimensions are in Meters and
