G+1 residential plan according to Vastu Shastra-

List of drawings to be provided on the site-

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

Calculation of Dead load, Live load and Wind load for the given proposed plan –

1. Standard RCC Column – 230 X 300mm

• Assume height of column as 4m
• Size of column given is 230 X 300mm
• Volume of concrete = 0.23m * 0.3m * 4m = 0.276 m³
• Unit weight of RCC = 25 KN/m³ ( As per IS 875)
• Dead load of column = 0.276 X 25 = 6.9 KN

2. RCC beam – 300 X 300mm

• Assume length of beam as 3m
• Size of given beam is 300 X 300mm
• Volume of concrete = 0.3 * 0.3 * 3 = 0.27 m³
• Unit weight of RCC = 25KN/m³ ( As per IS 875 )
• Dead load of beam = 0.27 X 25 = 6.75 KN

3. Standard RCC slab- 125mm

• Design slab for span = 1m X 1m
• Thickness of slab = 125mm = 0.125m
• Unit weight of RCC= 25 KN/m³ ( As per IS 875)
• Self weight of slab = 1 X 1 X 0.125 X 25 = 3.125 KN

4. Dead load of wall-

• Assume Thickness of wall = 0.23mm
• Unit weight of brick wall = 20 KN/m³ ( As per IS 875)
• Height of wall assume = 4.5m
• Dead load of the wall = 4.5 X 0.23 X 20 = 20.7 KN/m

Therefore dead loads of the given components are-

Dead load of column = 6.9 KN

Dead load of beam = 6.75 KN

Self weight of slab = 3.125 KN

Dead load on wall = 20.7 KN/m

Live loads according to stated in IS 875 –

Living room: 2KN/m²

Bed room : 2KN/m²

Bath : 2KN/m²

Kitchen : 2KN/m²

Terrace : 3KN/m²

Store : 2KN/m²

Wind load is designed only when the height of building exceeds 10m , in this case wind load calculation is not required. ( Standard height of G+1 building upto 14ft)
