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

AIM:

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.

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.

REQUIREMENTS:

Vaastu shastra:

*It is a sanskrit term that translates to the science of architecture.

*It is the science of directions that combines all the five elements of nature called panjabootham & balance them with the man & the material.

*Construction of building based on vaastu shastra gives peacefull & healthy life.

Requirements of vaastu sashtra:

*Direction might be very important in requirement.

*Each direction denotes certain gods.

*Cardinal direction-east,west,north & south.

*Intercardinal direction-north east,north west,south east & south west.

*North-wealth

*south-dharma

*east & west-carrear prosperity.

*Requirements need design,layout,measurements,ground preparation,space arrangement & spatial geometry.

Other dimensions:

Thickness of external wall-0.23m(230mm)

Thickness of internal wall-0.15

Thickness of slab-0.125m(125mm)

Dimensions of column-0.3m*0.3m

Dimensions of beam-0.3m*0.45m

Height of the wall of each floor-4.5m

PROCEDURE:

CALCULATION OF LOAD:

DEAD LOAD CALCULATION :

Dead load of column

Dimension of column-0.3*0.3m

Height of column-4.5m

Total volume of concrete=0.3*0.3*4.5

=0.405m^3

Unit weight of RCC-25kn/m^3

Dead load of one column=25*0.405

=10.125kn

Total number of column=11

Dead weight of column=11*10.125

=111.37kn

Dead load of beams

Dimension of beam-0.3*0.45m

volume=o.3*0.45*1*2=0.27m^3

volume=o.3*0.45*1*2=0.27m^3

volume=0.3*0.45*1*1=0.135m^3

volume=0.3*0.45*1*1=0.135m^3

volume=0.3*0.45*1*1=0.135m^3

Total volume=0.945m^3

Unit weight of rcc-25kn/m^3

Dead load of beam=25*0.94=23.5kn

Slab load

slab thickness=125mm

volume of slab=1*1*0.125

=0.125m^3

unit weight of rcc=25kn/m^3

Dead load of slab=25*0.125

Dead load of slab=3.125kn

Total dead load=111.37+23.5+3.125

=137.99kn

Dead load of wall

Thickness of external wall-0.23m

Unit weight of brick wall-20kn/m^3

Height of wall-4.5m

Load of wall on beam=0.23*20*4.5 =20.7kn

Thickness of internal wall-0.15m

unit weight of brick wall-20kn/^3

Height of wall=4.5m

Load of wall on beam= 0.15*20*4.5=13.5 kn

LIVE LOAD CALCULATIONS:

As per IS 875 part 2

For living & bed rooms live voad=2.0kn/m^2

For kitchen live load=2.0kn/m^2

For bathrooms live load=2.0kn/m^2

WIND LOAD CALCULATION

Wind load is designed only when the height of the building exceeds 10m

The height of building is 4.5m which is less than 10

So the wind load is not required

RESULTS:

The plan is prepared by the vaasthu shastra considerations

The load calculations are done as per the IS code considerations
