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

Dimensions of Ground floor Plan:

  • Living room 4.16m x 7.2m.
  • Kitchen 4.16m x 7.2m.
  • Store room: 4.16m x 1.22m.
  • Bed: 4.16m x 5.96m.
  • Common washroom: 2.93m x 1.22m.

Dimensions for 1st floor:

  • Bed: 4.16m x 7.2m.
  • bath: 2.93m x 1.22m.

Other dimensions:

External wall thickness: 0.23m

Internal Wall thickness: 0.15m.

Thickness of slab: 0.25m.

Dimensions of column: 0.23m x 0.3m.

Dimensions of beam: 0.23m x 0.3m.

Height of wall each floor: 3.1m.

Lists of drawing provided:

1. Centreline drawing.

2. Foundation plan with reinforcement details,

3. Plinth beam drawing with reinforcement details.

4. Slab reinforcement drawing.

5. Ground level floor drawing.

6. First floor plan drawing.

Calculations of loads:

DEAD Load calculations

1. DL of column:

Dimensions 0.23m x 0.3m.

Ht of column: Slab thickness*2 + ht of wall*2

= 0.25*2 + 3.1*2

Total vol of concrete: 0.23*0.3*6.7. = 0.45m^3.

Unit weight of RCC = 25kN/m^3. ---As per IS 875 Part 1

DL of column: 25*0.45= 11.25kN

2. DL of beam:

Dimensions of beam: 0.23m*0.3m

Vol of concrete: 0.23*0.3*1 = 0.069m^3

Unit weight of RCC: 25 kN/m^3. ---As per IS 875 Part 1.

DL = 1.725 kN

3. DL of Slab:

Slab is designed for 1m span.

Thickness of slab is 0.25m

Density if RCC = 25kN/m^3.

DL of slab: 1*1*0.25*25 = 6.25kN.

4. DL of walls:

A External wall:

Thickness of wall : 0.23m

Unit weight of brickwall: 20kN/m^3.

Height of wall = 3.1m.

Load of wall on beam: 3.1*20*0.23 = 14.26kN/m.

B Internal wall:

Thickness : 0.15m.

Unit weight: 20kN/m^3.

height of wall: 3.1m.

DL = 0.15*20*3.1 = 9.3kN/m.

LIVE load calculations: ? (As per IS 875 Part2)

Bedroom 2kN/m^2.

Kitchen 2kN/m^2.

Bath 2kN/m^2.

Living room 2kN/m^2.

Terrace 3kN/m^2.

Wind load calculations:

Height of structure = 7.2m.

As per IS 875 Part 3 wind load is calculated for the structures for more than 10m.

So for this structure caculation is not required.
