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

AIM: TO PRepsre 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.

Also, assume the sizes of the structural elements (Column, Beam, Slab, etc.,) and accordingly calculate the individual corresponding loads from the members as per IS code.

procedure:plan is prepared by autocad about G+1 building

Given dimenssions of building are assumed:

-thickness of slab =0.125

-height of the building =10'33" =3.15 each floor

-internal wall thickness =5"=0.127

-external wall thickness =9"=0.2286m

-dimenssion of main door =1.5 x 6.10m

-dimension for internal doors =1.2 x 6.10m

-dimension for bathroom door = 1.0 x 6.10m

-dimenssions for window= 2.00 x 1.2 m

DEAD LOAD OF COLUMNS:

no of columns is =12

dimenssions of columns =9"x1'6"=0.2286 x 0.4826= 0.110KN

weight of column = 25x0.110x3.15 =8.6kn for single column

DEAD LOAD OF BEAMS:

no of beam vertical beams =3=unit weight x length x width x depth =25x14.325 x 0.4572 x 0.2286=37.42kn

no of beam vertical beams=4=unit weight x length x width x depth=25x8.839 x 0.4572 x 0.2286 =23.095kn

dead load of beam = 37.42+23.09 =60.51kn

DEAD LOAD OF SLAB :

slab groud floor=25 x 14.325 x 8.839 x 0.125 =395.68kn

salab for 1st floor =(14.325 x 8.839 x 0.125)-(4.572 x 4.572x 0.125)=15.827 - 2.561 =13.265 x 25 =331kn

DEAD LAOD OF BRICK WORK:

length of 9" inch brickwork =66.1416m =20 x 66.1416 x 0.2286 =302.399 n/m^3

length of 5" inch brickwork =7.9248m =20 x 7.924 x 0.127 =20.12 n/m^3

live loads:

1.	Bath rooms and toilets in all types of building	2 kN/m2
2.	Living and bed rooms	2 kN/m2
3	kitchen	2 kN/m2
3	Corridors	3 kN/m2
4	Store rooms in educational buildings	5 kN/m2

wind load :wind load is not considered below the 10m height of the building this given residential building is 6.3m height only

Drawings need for constraction of residential building:

-centerline drawing

-foundation plan

-Sectional drawing for footings with reinforcement

-plinth beam drawing

-column marking drawing

-Architectural Drawings

-floor plan drawings

-sectional drawings for beam reinforcement drawing

- slab reinforcement drwings

- first floor beam reinforcement drawings

-first floor slab reinforcement drawings

-stair case drawings

-head room and elevation drawings
