Balcony is provided towards SOUTH position
LOAD CALCULATIONS FOR THE RESIDENTIAL PLAN COMPONENTS:
DEAD LOAD COLUMNS
Total number of columns in the design are 18
The total load of each column is calculated from the total volume of column and unit weight of concrete
The height of columnn from ground = slab thickness x 2 + height of each floor x 2
= 0.250 x 2 + 3 x 2
= 6.5m
Size of column is 0.3m x 0.3m
The volume of each column is 0.3 x 0.3 x 6.5 = 0.585 m 3
unit weight of reinforced concrete 25 KN/m3
Dead load due to each column 25 x 0.585 = 14.625 KN
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 beam are 0.3m x 0.45m
Unit weight of reinforced concrete = 25 KN/m 3
Dead load due to beam- 25 x 0.3 x 0.45 = 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 load is calculated in KN/m
Thickness of external wall considered here is 300 mm = 0.3 m
Thickness of internal wall considered here is 200 mm = 0.2 m
Height of each wall is 3m it is floor height difference
Unit weight of brick walls 20 KN/m 3
Dead load due to external wall= 20 x 0.3 x 3 = 18 KN/m
Dead load due to internal wall = 20 x 0.2 x 3 = 12 KN/m
Wall openings should be removed when total load is being calculated
Wall openings such as doors windows, ventilators etc
BRICK:
The standard dimension of brick is given as 190mm x 90mm x 90mm
The weight of standard brick is 1.9 Kg or 18.632 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 0.25m
Unit weight of reinforced concrete 25KN/m^3
Dead load of slab per m^2 = 25 x 0.25 x 1 x1 = 6.25 KN/m^2
while calculating slab dead load over bathrooms as the slab provided is a sucker slab the thickness of slab is changed to sunken slab
generally sunken by 200mm to 300mm depth
2. Live load calculation
As per Table 1 of IS-875 part 2, for residential building:
living/dining 2 KN/m^2
kitchen 2 KN/m^2
Bedroom 2 KN/m^2
bathroom-2KN/m 2
puja room 2KN/m^2
Terrace 3KN/m^2
Balconies 3 KN/m^2
3. WINDLOAD calculation
The height of the house is 6.5m.
The windload acting on the structure is not significant for structures 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 in drawing sheet. The plan consists 1 Living room , 1 master bed room, 1 study room, 2 bed rooms, 1 Kitchen, 3 tolets bathrooms and 2 balconies
The residential plan is made by using vastu shastra to enhance positive energy in the home
The dimentions of beam, column, thickness of wall and slab are assumed as per IS code
All the dimentions are in MTRS
Direction sign is provided.
