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

Aim: - To Sketch a G+1 floor residential plan, according to Vaastu Shastra, and list down the names of the structural drawings required to be provided to the site for construction.

Procedure: -

Sketch of the ground floor and first floor as per Vaastu Shastra

Dimensions of first floor: -

Parking: 3.3m x 3.3m

Hall: 4.5m x 3.3m

Pooja room 1.2m x 1.2m

Kitchen and Dining: 3.3m x 3.3m

Bedroom: 3.9m x 4.2m

Dimensions of second floor: -

Bedroom 1: 3.5m x 3.3m

Toilet: 1.8m x 2m

Living room: 3.26m x 6.41m

Bedroom 2: 3.9m x 3m

Toilet: 2m x 1.2m

Other dimensions of the buildings: -

Thickness of the wall: 0.23 m

Thickness of the slab: 0.25 m

Total Height of the building: 8.5 m

Height of ground floor and first floor: 4m

Column dimensions: 0.3 x 0.3m

Beam dimensions: 0.3 x 0.45m

Load calculations: -

Dead loads

For columns: -

for C1 (300mmx300mm)

Total volume of column = 0.30x0.30x8= 0.72m^3

Here, the height of the column is added for ground floor and first floor

Unit weight of the concrete = 25 KN/m^3

Therefore,

Total dead load of the column = 25 x 0.72= 18 KN

For beams: -

For B1 (300mm x 450mm)

Total volume of beam per unit meter = 0.30x0.45x1

= 0.135 m^3

Unit weight of the concrete = 25 KN/m^3

Therefore,

Total dead load of the column = 25 x 0.135

= 3.375 KN/m

For Slabs: -

Self wt. of a slab of 250 mm thickness and span of 1m x 1m.

Total volume of slab for span 1 meter= 1 x 1 x 0.250

= 0.250 m^3

Unit weight of reinforced concrete = 25 KN/m^3

Therefore,

Total self-weight of the RCC slab = 0.25 x 25

= 6.25 KN

For wall loads: -

Height of the wall = 4.m

Thickness of the wall = 230 mm

Unit weight of the brick wall = 20 KN/m^3

Therefore,

Total dead load of brick wall of height 4m per unit meter = 4 x 0.230 x 20

= 11.25 KN/m

Live loads Calculations: -

As per IS 875-part 2 table 1,

• Bedroom = 2KN/m²
• Living room = 2KN/m²
• Kitchen = 2KN/m²
• Toilets = 2KN/m²
• Washroom/toilets = 2KN/m²
• Terrace = 3KN/m²
• Staircase = 3KN/m²

Wind load calculations: -

Wind load calculations are to be done on buildings which have a height greater than 10 m but since our building is 8m wind load calculations are not necessary.

References and IS codes used for design: -

IS 875:1987 part 1 for dead load

IS 875:1987 part 2 for live load

IS 875:1987 part 3 for wind load

IS 456:2000 for reinforced concrete.

Results: -

A sketch is provided for G+1 building according to Vaastu shastra.

Dead load, live load and wind load calculations is provided for the building.
