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

Ans 2 ) calculate column load

So, if we assume a column size of 300 mm x 600 mm with 1% steel and 2.55(why 2.55 so, 3m column hight – beam size) meters standard height, the self-weight of the column is around 1000 kg per floor, that id equal to 10 kN.

  1. Volume of Concrete = 0.30 x 0.60 x 2.55 =0.459 m³
  2. Weight of Concrete = 0.459 x 2400 = 1101.60 kg

Weight of Steel (1%) in Concrete = 0.459 x 1% x 7850 = 36.03 kg

Total Weight of Column = 1101.60 + 36.03 = 1137.63 kg = 11.12 KN
calculate beam load

Assume each (1m) meter of the beam has dimension

  1. Step 1. 300 mm x 600 mm excluding slab.
  2. Step 2. Volume of Concrete = 0.30 x 0.60 x 1 =0.18 m³
  3. Step 3. Weight of Concrete = 0.18 x 2400 = 432 kg
  4. Step 4. Weight of Steel (2%) in Concrete = 0.18 x 2% x 7850 = 28.26 kg

Step 5. Total Weight of Column = 432 + 28.26 = 460.26 kg/m = 4.51 KN/m

calculte slab load

Let, Assume the slab has a thickness of 150 mm.

So, the Self-weight of each square meter of the slab would be

Slab Load Calculation = 0.150 x 1 x 2400 = 360 kg which is equivalent to 3.53 kN.
