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

G+1 Plan As per Vastu shastra

Structural drawings:

  • Centerline drawing
  • Footing and column layout with reinforcement details
  • Column schedule with reinforcement details
  • Plinth beam layout with reinforcement details
  • First floor beam layout with reinforcement details
  • First floor slab layout with reinforcement details
  • Lift pit and headroom reinforcement details

Dead load:

Total number of columns = 18 ( all are of same size)

Dead load of a column = 0.30 x 0.30 x 4.5 x 25

= 10.125 KN

Dead load of a beam = 0.30 x 0.45 x 25

= 3.375 KN/m

Self weight of slab = 0.125 x 25

= 3.125 KN/m^2

Wall load = 0.23 x 4.5 x 20

= 20.7 KN/m

Live load:

As per IS 875 (part 2) 1987:

The live load for residential house is taken as follows,

All rooms and kitchens = 2 KN/m^2

Bathrooms and toilets = 2 KN/m^2

Store rooms and passages,

corridors = 3 KN/m^2

Balconies = 3 KN/m^2.

Wind load:

Since, it is a residential building and the height of the building is less than 10m, wind load is not considered here.
