Challenge

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

The list of structural drawing needed for this project are:-

  1. Centre line drawing
  2. Footing and column layout with reinforcement derails
  3. Column schedule with reinforcement derails
  4. Plinth beam layout with reinforcement derails
  5. First floor beam layout with reinforcement derails
  6. First floor slab layout with reinforcement derails
  7. Lift pit and Headroom reinforcement details

Calculation of loads on structural members

Assume,
Column placed at all corner of the building of dimenesion = 300 * 300mm
Height of column = 4.5 + 3 = 7.5m
Unit weight of RCC column = 25kN/m^3
Dead load of column = 0.3 * 0.3 * 7.5 * 25 = 16.875kN

Assume,
Beam is provided where ever neccessary of dimension = 150 * 300mm
Unit weigth of RCC beam = 25kkN/m^3
Dead load of beam = 0.15 * 0.3 * 1 * 25 = 1.125kN/m

Assume,
Depth of slab = 150mm
Unit weight of RCC slab = 25kN/m^3
Dead load of slab = 0.15 * 1 * 1 * 25 = 3.75kN/m^2

Assume,
Height of brick wall in ground floor = 4.5m
Unit weight of Brick wall = 20kN/m^3
Width of brick wall = 300mm
Dead load of the wall = 4.5 * 0.3 * 20 = 27KN/m

Assume,
Height of brick wall in first floor = 3m
Unit weight of Brick wall = 20kN/m^3
Width of brick wall = 300mm
Dead load of the wall = 3 * 0.3 * 20 = 18KN/m

Live load calculation
With refrence to IS 875 Part -2
Live load for the residential building
Living room (2) = 2 * 2 = 4kN/m^2
Kitchen (2) = 2 * 2 = 4kN/m^2
Bedroom (4) = 2 * 4 = 8Kn/m^2
Bathroom (2) = 2 * 2 = 4kN/m^2
Total live load = 4 + 4 + 8 + 4 = 20kN/m^2

Wind load is not taken into account since the building height is not more than 10m.
