CALCULATION OF LOAD
All columns and Beams are in the same size
DEAD LOAD
1 Dead load of Column
Dimensions of column = 0.3m * 0.3m
Height of column = (Slab thickness * 2) + (Height of wall for each floor * 2)
= (0.25*2) + (3*2) = 6.5m
Total volume of concrete = 0.3*0.3*6.5 = 0.585m^3
Unit weight of RCC = 25KN/m^3 ( As per IS 875 Part1 )
Dead load of column = Volume of concrete * Unit weight
= 0.585 * 25 = 14.62KN
2 Dead load of beam
Dimensions of beam = 0.3*0.45
Total volume of concrete = 0.3*0.45*1 = 0.135m^3
Unit weight of RCC = 25KN/m^3 ( As per IS 875 Part1 )
Dead load of Beam = Volume of concrete * Unit weight
= 0.135*25 = 3.375KN
3 Dead load of slab
Span of 1m is designed
Size of slab = 1 * 1
Thickness of slab = 0.25m
Density of slab = 25KN/m^3 ( As per IS 875 Part1 )
Dead load of Slab =Density * Unit weight * Dimensions
= 0.25 * 25 * 1 * 1 = 6.25KN
4 Dead load of Walls
EXTERNAL WALL
Thickness of wall = 0.23m
Unit weight = 20KN/m^3 ( As per IS 875 Part1 )
Height of Wall = 3m
Dead load = Thickness of wall * unit weight * height of the wall
= 0.23 * 20 * 3 = 13.8KN
INTERNAL WALL
Thickness of wall = 0.15m
Unit weight = 20KN/m^3 ( As per IS 875 Part1 )
Height of Wall = 3m
Dead load = Thickness of wall * unit weight * height of the wall
= 0.15*20*3 = 9KN
2 LIVE LOAD CALCULATION
According to IS875 Part 2
- Bedroom = 2 KN/m^2
- Living Room = 2 KN/m^2
- Kitchen = 2 KN/m^2
- Bathroom = 2 KN/m^2
- Toilet = 2 KN/m^2
- Terrace = 3 KN/m^2
- Balcony = 3 KN/m^2
- Portico = 3 KN/m^2
- Foyer = 3 KN/m^2
3 WIND LOAD CALCULATION
Wind load is designed when the height of the building exceeds 10m
The height of the building is 6.5m which is less than 10m
So, calculation of wind load is not required
REFERENCE USED
IS 875- 1987 (Part 1) for Dead load
IS 875- 1987 (Part 2) for Live load
IS 875- 1987 (Part 3) for Wind load
IS 456- 2000 for Reinforced concrete
RESULT
- The plan is prepared by Vastu Shastra concept considering all principles and considerations of Vaastu shastra
- Load calculations are done according to IS code consideration
