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

G+1 residential floor plan according to vaastu shastra:

Important structural drawings for the project:

  1. Center line drawing.
  2. Footing and column layout with reinforcement details.
  3. Column schedule with reinforcement details
  4. Plinth beam layout with reinforcement detail
  5. First floor beam layout with reinforcement detail
  6. First floor slab layout with reinforcement detail
  7. Lift pit and headroom reinforcement detail

Load calculation:

- All columns are 300mm x 300mm
- All beams are 300mm x 450mm
- Slab thickness if 125mm
- The height of the wall is 4.5m

-Unit weight of RCC= 25KN/m^3

Calculation:

Dead load:

Dead load of all columns= 0.30 x0.30 x25 x4.5

=10.125 KN

Dead load of all beams= 0.30 x 0.45 x25

=3.375 KN/m

Dead load of slab= 0.125 x 25

=3.125KN/m^2

Dead load of wall:

Unit weight of brick masonry=20 KN/m^3

Thickness of the exterior wall= 0.23m

Thickness of the interior wall= 0.150m

Dead load of exterior wall= 4.5 x 0.23 X 20

=20.7KN/m

Dead load of interior wall= 4.5 x 0.15 x 20

=13.5 KN/m

Live load is taken as per IS 875-1987 (PART 2)

So as per the above table the live load is 2.0KN/m^2

As the height of the building is below 10m the wind load calculation is not necessory.
