Room dimensions - for Ground floor -

1) Room 1 - Living room = 4.0m*8.0m

2) Room 2 - kitchen = 4.0m*7.0m

3) Room 3 - Bed room = 4.0m*5.0m

4) Room 4 - Bed room = 4.0m*5.0m

Room dimensions - for first floor -

Column size = 300mm*300mm

Beam size = 300mm*450mm

Slab thickness = 125mm

Height for ground floor = 4.5m

Height for first floor = 3m

Dead load calculations -

1) Column -

Size of column = 300mm*300mm

Volume of column = 0.3*0.45*4.5

= 0.405 m^3

Unit weight of rcc = 25 kn/m^3

Dead load of one column = 25*0.405

= 10.125 kn

Total number of column = 11

Dead weight of 11 columns = 11*10.125

Dead load of 11 column = 111.375 kn

2) Beam -

Size of beam = 300mm*450mm

1) Volume = 0.3*0.45*1*6 = 0.81 m^3

2) Volume = 0.3*0.45*1*2 = 0.27m^3

3) Volume = 0.3*0.45*1*3 = 0.405 m^3

4) Volume = 0.3*0.45*1*1 = 0.135m^3

Total volume = 1.62 m^3

Unit weight of rcc = 25 kn/m^3

Dead load of beam = 25*1.62= 40.5 kn

3) Slab -

Thickness of slab = 125mm

Volume = 4.3*12.6*0.125 = 6.78 m^3

volume = 4.3*13.6*0.125 = 7.31 m^3

Total volume = 14.09 m^3

Unit weight of rcc = 25 kn/m^3

Dead load of slab = 25*14.09

Dead load of slab = 352.25 kn

Total dead load of column,beam and slab = 111.375+40.5+352.25

Total dead load = 504.125 kn

Live load calculations -

From IS code 875 of part 2 -

The Live load for residential building = 2 kn/m^2

Wind load calculation -

The intensity of wind load depend upon velocity of wind,size and height of building.

The wind load is considered to be act uniformly upto a height of 30m.

and above 30m,wind load intensity is increased.

Design wind pressure is calculated by -

Pz = 0.6 Vz ^2

where, Pz = Wind pressure @ height z,in n/m^2

Vz = Design wind speed @ height z,in m/s

Vz is calculated by -

Vz = Vb*k1*k2*k3*k4

Where, Vb = basic wind speed

k1 = Probabilty factor or Risk coefficient

k2 = Terrian roughness

k3 = Topography factor

k4 = Importance factor

k1 - The value of k1 is from IS 875 of part 2 clause 6.3.1 of table 1

k2 - The value of k2 is from IS 875 of part 2 clause 6.3.2 of table 2

k3 - The value of k3 is from IS 875 of part 2 clause 6.3.3

k4 - The value of k4 is from IS 875 of part 2 clause 6.3.4

Vb = 44 (nagpur from table)

k1 = 1

k2 = 0.82 (from category 3,terrian with numerous closely spaced height upto 10m.)

k3 = 1

k4 = 1

Vz = 44*1*0.82*1*1

Vz = 36.08 m/s

Pz = 0.6 Vz^2

= 0.6*36.08^2

Pz = 781.05 n/m^2

Result -

Dead load of ground floor = 672.875 kn

Live load of ground floor = 2 kn/m^2

Wind load of ground floor = 781.05 n/m^2

Load calculation for first floor -

Size of Living room - 4.0m*7.0m

Column size = 300mm*300mm

Beam size = 300mm*450mm

Slab thickness = 125mm

height = 3m

Dead load calculations -

1) Column -

Volume of column = 0.3*0.3*3 = 0.27 m^3

unit weight of rcc = 25 kn/m^3

Dead load of one column = 25*0.27

= 6.75 kn

Total number of column = 6

Dead load of 6 column = 6* 6.75

= 40.5 kn

2) Beam -

Volume of beam = 0.3*0.45*1*2 = 0.27 m^3

Volume of beam = 0.3*0.45*1*2 = 0.27 m^3

Total volume of beam = 0.27+0.27 = 0.54 m^3

Unit weight of rcc = 25 kn/m^3

Dead load of beam = 25*0.54 = 13.5 kn

3) slab -

Thickness = 125mm

Volume of slab = 4.3*7.3*0.125 = 3.923 m^3

Unit weight of rcc = 25 kn/m^3

Dead load of slab = 25*3.923

= 98.07 kn

Total dead load of column,beam and slab = 40.5+13.5+98.07

Total dead load = 152.07 kn

Live load calculation -

Live load for residential building = 2 kn/m^2

Wind load calculations -

Wind pressure is calculated by -

Pz = 0.6 Vz ^2

Vz = Vb*k1*k2*k3*k4

Vb = 44 (Nagpur)

k1 = 1

k2 = 0.82

k3 = 1

k4 = 1

vz = 44*1*0.82*1*1

= 36.08 m/s

Pz = 0.6*36.08^2

= 781.05 n/m^2

Result -

Dead load for first floor = 152.07 kn

Live load for first floor = 2 kn/m^2

Wind load for first floor = 781.05 n/m^2
