Challenge

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

10 x15.5 m East Facing House Plan as per Vaastu

As per Vaastu, the Entrance is North-East direction and the Main door is North - East direction

The living room is in the North-East direction

The kitchen is in the South-East direction

Master Bedroom is in South-West direction

Puja room facing East direction

Structural Drawings required are:

Center-line drawing

Footing and Column layout with reinforcement details

Column schedule with reinforcement details

Plinth beam layout with reinforcement details

First-floor beam layout with reinforcement details

First-floor slab layout with reinforcement details

If any lift is there then lift pit reinforcement details

Assumed sizes of the structural elements:

Column = 300 x 300 mm

Beam = 300 x 450 mm

Slabs = 125 mm

Floor height = 4.5 m

Unit weight of the RCC = 25 KN/m3

Total no. of column = 12

Dead load of each column = 25 * 0.3 *0.3 * 4.5

= 10.125 KN

Dead load on beam = 25 *0.3 *0.45

= 3.375 KN/m

Dead load on slab = 25 * 0.125

= 3.125 kN/m

Live load for residential building is taken as 2 KN/m2 as per IS:875 part 3.

Wind load is not considered because as the height of the building is less than 10 m. we don't need to calculate the wind load.
