    AIM:To prepare a residential plan for G+1 floor according to vaastu shastra and to calculate corresponding loads for components of house
     
    PROCEDURE:
     
    DETAILED INTRODUCTION

    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 walls- 0.2 m
     
    dimensions of main door - 1.1 x 2.5
     
    dimensions of internal doors- 0.8 x 2.5
     
    dimension of window in living room - 2.5 m x 1.5 m
     
    dimension of window in bedroom - 2 m x 1.5m
     
    dimensions of ventilator in bathroom and toilet - 0.5 m x 0.3m
     
    The General Structural Drawings that are prepared are as follows:
     
    general notes and typical sections
     
    foundation excavation plan and footing sections
     
    ground floor column plan and column sections
     
    ground floor plinth beam plan and plinth beam sections
     
    ground floor beam plan and beam sections
     
    ground floor slab top and bottom rebar detail
     
    ground floor slab section
     
    First floor beam plan and beam section
     
    First floor slab top and bottom rebar detail
     
    first floor slabs section
     
    roof parapet wall plan
     
    Overhead water tank
     
    Vastu Shastra followed:
     
    Entrance of the house is provided at North position
     
    Living room is provided at EAST position of the house
     
    Master bedroom is provided in the South-East position of the house
     
    Kitchen is provided at the South-West position
     
    Pooja room is provided West direction of the house
     
    Stair case is provided WEST position
     
    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.
