Vaastu Shastra:

Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian Science of Architecture.
Vastu Shastra literally translates to the science of architecture, and it describes the principles of design, layout, measurement, ground preparation, space arrangement, and spatial geometry.

Requirement to be followed for a house project:

For a house to become a home, it needs to radiate the right kind of energy.
According to a number of traditional beliefs, each home comes with its own energy type.
A person dwelling in a house comes under the influence of a specific energy field, which in turn influences him in one way or the other.

Vastu for the Main Entrance: Door

According to Vastu Shastra, the main entrance to a home is not only the entry point for the family, but also for energy.
There shouldn't be a bathroom near the main door.
Ensure the main entrance is well lit.
Avoid painting the main door black.
Decorate your door with beautiful nameplates and auspicious torans.
Avoid placing animal statues or figurines near the main door.
Ensure your main door opens in a clockwise manner.

Vastu for the bedroom:

Ideally, the bedroom in a south-west direction brings good health and prosperity.
Avoid a bedroom in the north-east or south-east zone of the house as the former may cause health issues, while a bedroom placed in the latter direction may cause quarrels among couples.

Required Drawing:

dead load of a column of size (0.45mx0.45mx4.5m) :

Volume of concrete = 0.4*0.4*4.5

= 0.72 m3

Unit weight of concrete = 25 KN/ m3

Dead load of column = 25*0.72

= 18 KN

wall load on a beam of height 4m

Height of wall =4 m

Thickness of wall = 230 mm

Unit weight of wall = 20*4*0.23

Dead load of wall =18.4 KN/m

self-weight of a slab of 250mm thickness and span 4m x 4m

Thickness of slab = 250 mm

Self weight of salb = 2.5*4*4*0.25

= 10 KN
