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

List of structural drawings are,

  • Centre line drawing
  • footing and column layout with reinforcement details
  • column schedule with reinforcement details.
  • plinth beam layout with reinforcement details.
  • first floor beam layout with reinforcement details.
  • first floor slab layout with reinforcement details.
  • lift pit and head room.

Sketch of G+1 Residential plan has been uploaded as per vasthu

Assume,

wall thicness=300mm, column size= 300x300mm, beam size=300x450. slab thickness=150mm.

DEAD LOAD:

1.) Column(0.3x0.3)

volume of column=length x width x height

= (0.3x0.3x3.3) x 2floor = 0.594m3.

(unit wieght of rcc column = 25KN/m3.)

Dead load of rcc column= 25x0.594= 14.85kN. per column

Total no of column = 11no's.

Total D.L of columns= 11x14.85 = 163.35KN

2.) Beams(0.3x0.45)

(Unit weight of rcc beam = 25KN/m3)

Uniformly distributed load = 25x (0.3x0.45)=3.375KN/m.

therefore, multiply the UDL with the span of beam to get the total D.L of beam.

3.) Walls(0.3x3.3) for each floor.

Area of the wall= 0.3x3.3=0.99m2.

Unit weight of brick wall =20KN/m3

Uniformly distributed load = 0.99x20 =19.8KN/m.

therefore, multiply the UDL with the span of wall for each room to get total dead load of wall.

LIVE LOAD:

As per IS 875:1987 table1,

Live load of bedroom= 2KN/m2.

EXAMPLE

area of bedroom = 10x8 = lxb =80m2.

live load= 80x2=160KN.

Live load of bathroom= 2KN/m2.

Live load of kitchen=2KN/m2.

Live load of storeroom=2KN/m2.

WIND LOAD:

As per IS 875:1987(PART 3)the minimum height required for wind load is 10m. so we can ignore wind load calculation here.
