Load Calculations :-

Specify assumed size of rooms.

• Columns are 300mm X 300mm
• Beams are 300mm X 450mm
• Slab thickness if 125mm
• Height of the wall is 3m.

Dead Loads :-

Column :-

Dead load of column of size 0.3*0.3*3

Total volume of Column : 0.27 m^3

Unit weight of Concrete : 25 KN/m^3

Dead load of column : 0.27 * 25

: 6.75 KN

Beams :-

Total C/S area of beam : 0.3 * 0.45

: 0.135 m^2

Unit weight of Concrete : 25 KN/m^3

Dead load of beam : 0.135 * 25

: 3.375 KN/m

Slabs :-

Dead load of slab is 125mm thickness.

Unit weight of Concrete : 25 KN/m^3

Self weight of slab : 25 * 0.125

: 3.125 KN/m^2

Walls :-

Height of the wall is 3m.

Dead load of wall 300mm thickness.

Unit weight of wall : 20Kn/m^3

Self weight of wall : 20 * 0.3 * 0.3

: 18 KN/m

Live Loads :-

• According to Is 875 Part:2 Table-1
• For the residential buildings use live load of UDL 2 KN/m^2
• For this rooms and bedrooms and no balconies are present in the buildings.And near staircase provide live load on UDL 3 KN/M^2.
• Since it is house the live load of 2 KN/m^2 is adopted on the slabs from IS 875 Part-2 Tabe-1.

Wind Calculations :-

• Since the height of the building is less than 10 m wind load calculation is not implemented on the building.
• Total height of our building is 3m + 3m = 6m.

GROUND FLOOR

FIRST FLOOR

Result :-

• The plan of G+1 Floor residential building is prepared with consideration of concept pf Vaastu shastra.
• The load calculations are done as per IS code Specification.
