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

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

INTRODUCTION

Vastu shastra are texts on the traditional indian system of architecture.It acts as a guidline to design your home in the way that enhances positive energy.our nature is abundant with powerhouses of energy sources like sun, ,moon, earth and fire. Good home needs to radiate the right kind of energy.A person dwelling ina house comes under the influence of a specific energy field .Architectural changes are not possible for a ready to move in house

CONCEPT OF VASTU SHASTRA

GROUND FLOOR PLAN

Dimensions are in meters

FIRST FLOOR PLAN

DIMENSIONS FOR GROUND FLOOR AND FIRST FLOOR PLANS

Living cum Dinning room-5m*7m

Kitchen-5m*3m

Master bedroom-4.5m*4m

Guest bedroom-4.5*3m

Masterbedroom toilet-2m*1.2m

Quest bedroom toilet-2m*1.2m

CONCEPT OF VASTU SHASTRA THAT FOLLOWED WHILE PLANNING:

• Main entrance of the house is provided in the north direction
• Living room in the north east direction
• Kitchen in the south east direction
• Staircase in the northwest direction
• Master bedroom in the southwest direction
• Toilet placed in west direction

CALCULATION OF LOADS:

A. DEAD LOAD CALCULATIONS

1.DEAD LOAD OF COLUMNS

IS875:1987 PART 1 FOR DEAD LOAD

Size of the column =300mm*300mm

height of the column = 3.5m

volume of concrete= .3*.3*3.5=0.315m³

unit weight of concrete=25KN/m³

dead load of column=unit weight *volume

= 0.315*25

=7.875KN

DEAD LOAD FOR 1 COLUMN = 7.875 KN

Colums are provided at every corner

Therefore total number of column provided =13

total dead load for 8 column = 13*7.875=102.375KN

2.DEAD LOAD FOR BEAM

size of beam =300mm*450mm

volume of concrete= .3*.45

unit weight of concrete=25KN/m³

dead load of column=unit weight *volume

= 0.3*.45*25

=3.375KN/m

DEAD LOAD OF BEAM= 3.375 KN/m

3.DEAD LOAD OF WALL

height of wall = 3.5m

thickness of wall=230mm

Unit weight of brick wall =20KN/m³

Dead load of wall= 20*3.5*.23

=16.1KN/m

DEAD LOAD OF WALL =16.1KN/m

4.DEAD LOAD OF SLAB

thickness of the slab =150mm

Unit weight of concrete=25KN/m³

dead load of slab=.150*25

=3.75KN/m²

SELF WEIGHT OF SLAB =3.75KN/m²

B. LIVE LOAD CALCULATIONS

We will get value of live load from IS 875 part 2

from this uniformly distributed load (UDL)for residential building different rooms

for all rooms =2.0KN/m²

kitchen =2.0KN/m²

toilet=2.0KN/m²

bathroom = 2.0

staircase=3.0KN/m²

coridors, passages,staircases including fire escapes and store rooms UDL =3.0KN/m²

C. WIND LOAD CALCULATIONS

IS 875 Part 3 is used for calculating wind load

wind load is considered when height of the building is above 10m

here, its below 10m so need to calculate wind load

RESULT

• This plan is drawn according to vastu shastra by taking all the principles
• Load calculations are done as per the Is code
