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.

• Living room is placed in north east direction.
• Master bedroom is placed in south west position this direction brings good health and prosperity.

• Kitchen is placed in south east direction.

  • Study room is placed in east direction. .

  • Staircase is placed at Northwest corner.

  • Bathroom, WC and toilet is placed in West direction.

Calculation of loads -

(A). Dead load Calculations

1 Dead load of columns

Dimension of column= 0,3m x 0.3m (300mm x 300mm)

Height of column (Slab thickness x 2) + (Height of wall for each floor x 2)

(0.25 x 2) (3 x 2) = 65m

Total volume of concrete 03x03X65-0.585m3

Unit weight of RCC-25KN/m3

Unit Weight of Building Materiais used in construction works as per IS 875 (Part-1)

Dead load of column= 25 X 0.585-14.62KN

2. Dead load of beams

Dimension of beam=0.3m X 0.45m (300mm x 450mm)

Total volume of concrete 03x045X1=0.135m3.

Unit weight of RCC= 25KN/m3.

Unit Weight of Building Materials used in construction works as per S 375 (Part 1)

Dead load of beam-25 X 0.135-3.375KN

3. Dead load of slabe

Slab is always designed for the span of Im

Hence assure size of slab as 1m X 1m.

Thickness of slab- 0.25m

Density of RCC-25KN/m3

Self-weight of slab-1X1X025 X 25= 6.25KN

4 Dead load of wails

-Dead load of external wall

Thickness of External wall = 0.23m. (230mm)

unit weight of brick wall- 20KN/m3

Unit Weight of Building Materials used in construction works as per 25 875 (Part-1)

Height of wall = 3m

toad of wall on beam 3 X 0.23 x 20- 13.8KN.

-Dead load of internal wall

Thickness of Internal wall - 0.35m. (150mm)

Unit weight of brick wall- 20KN/m3

Unit Weight of Building Materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (Part 1)

Height of wall-3m.

Load of wall on beam= 3 X 0.15 X 20-9KN

(B). Live load calculations

(According to IS 875 Part 2)

Bed room= 2KN/m²

Living room= 2KN/m²

Bath=2KN/m²

Terrace 3KN/m²

Toilet-2kN/m²

Staircase-3KN/m²

Study room 2KN/m²

Kitchen-2KN/m²

(C). Wind load calculation

Wind load is designed only when the height of the building exceeds 10m.

The height of designed building is 6.5m which's less than 10m.

So, the calculation of wind load is not required.

References and IS codes used for the design

IS 875:1987, Part 1 for Dead load

IS 875:1987, Part 2 for Live load

IS 875:1987, Part 3 for Wind load

IS 456:2000, for Reinforced Concrete.

Results

-The plan is prepared by the Vaastu shastra concept considering all the principles and considerations of Vaastu shastra

-The load calculations are done as per the IS code considerations.
