Vaastu Shashtra
Entrance of house should be provided east direction which provides progress in life
Living room should be placed north-east direction
Masterbedroom placed south west direction this direction provides good health & prosperity
Kitchen is placed in south east direction
Study room should be placed in east direction
Bathroom ,WC, Toilet should placed in west direction.
A) Calculation of Dead load on structural element
1. Column
Column are provided in all corner of building are of same size.
Considering 11 columns in plan
lets assume the height of column to be 3m
Dead load:
Volume of concrete =0.3x0.3x3
=0.27m^3
Unit Weight of RCC =25KN/m^3
Unit weight of building material used in construction works as per IS (Part I)
Dead load of column =25x0.27
=6.75 KN
Since we considered same size of column so dead impose on 1 column will be 6.75 KN
2. Beam
According to the plan we considered 14 beams, 5 beams are assumed to be 2m height & 9 beam are of 1m
Dimension of beam 0.3x0.45
Total volume, 2m= 0.3x0.45x2
= 0.27m^3
Total Volume, 1m =0.3x0.45x1
= 0.135m^3
Unit weight of RCC = 25KN/m^3
Dead load of beam, 1m = Unit Weight x Volume
= 25x0.135
=3.375 KN
Dead load of beam, 2m = Unit Weight x Volume
= 25 x0.27
= 6.75 KN
3. Slab
Slab is always designed for span of 1m we assume size of slab 1mx1m
thickness of slab= 0.25m
Density of RCC 25KN/m^3
Self weight of slab= 0.25x25
=6.25KN/m^2
4. Wall
Dead load of External Wall
Thickness of external wall= 0.23(230mm)
Unit weight of brick wall =20KN/m^2
Height of wall= 3m
load of wall on beam =3x0.23x20
=13.8KN/m
Dead load of Internal Wall
Thickness of internal wall =0.15m(150mm)
Unit weight of brick wall =20KN/m^3
Height of wall =3m
Load of wall on beam =3x0.15x20
=9KN/m
B) Live Load
Bedroom -2KN/m^2
Living Rooom-2KN/m^2
Bath -2KN/m^2
Balcony -3KN/m^2
Toilet -2KN/m^2
Staircase -3KN/m^2
Study Room -2KN/m^2
Kitchen -2KN/m^2
C) Wind Load
Wind load is designed only when the height of building exceeds 10m
since height of designed building 6m(3m + 3m) which is less than 10m.
Reference Code:
IS875:1987 Part 1 for dead load
IS875:1987 Part 2 for live load
IS875:1987 Part 3 for wind load
IS456:2000 for RCC
Result:
The plan is prepared as per vaastu shashtra concept and considering all principles & consideration.
Load calculation & assumption are done as per IS Code.
