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

1. Sketching the G+1 floor residential plan according to Vaastu shastra and load calculation acting on the building with required drawing

Required drawings:

• Centre line drawing
• Footing and column layout with reinforcement details
• Column schedule with reinforcement details
• Plinth beam layout with reinforcement details
• 1^st floor beam layout with reinforcement details
• 1^st floor slab layout with reinforcement details
• Lift pit and headroom reinforcement details

Load calculations

• All columns are 300mmx300mm
• All beams are 300mmx450mm
• Slab thickness is 125mm
• Height of the wall is 3.1m

Dead loads:

• Column:

Height of the column:3.1m

Volume of the column=0.3x0.3x3.1

=0.29m^3

Unit weight of concrete=25KN/m^3

Dead load=Volume x unit weight

=0.28x25

=6.97KN

• Beam:

Area of beam=0.3x0.45

=0.135m^2

Unit weight of concrete=25KN/m^3

Dead load of column

=0.135x25

3.375KN/m

• Slab:

Dead load of a slab of thickness 125mm

Unit weight of concrete=25KN/m^3

Self-weight of the slab

=unit weight of concrete x thickness of concrete

=25 x 0.125

= 3.125KN/m^2

• Wall:

Height of the wall=3.1m

Dead load of a wall of thickness 300mm

Unit weight of the brick wall=20KN/m^3

Self-weight of the wall

= Unit weight of the brick wall x thickness of wall x height of the wall

=20x0.3x3.1

=18.6111KN/m

• Live loads:

According to IS 875-2

• Rooms & Kitchen = 2.0 KN/m²
• Toilets & Bathroom = 0 KN/m²
• Stairs & Passage = 3.0 KN/m²
• Balconies = 3.0 KN/m²
• Terrace (Access provided) = 1.5 KN/m²
• Terrace (Access not provided except for maintenance) = 0.75 KN/ m²
• Store = 0 KN/m²

• Wind Load:

The height of the building is 3.1+3.1=6.2m < 10m

Since, the height of the building is less than 10m wind load calculation is not implemented on the building.
