Vaastu shastra followed during planning is :

• Entrance of the house is provided in the North direction which is the symbol of progress in life.
• Leaving 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 position.
• Study room is placed in East direction.
• Puja room is placed in East direction.
• Bathroom and toilet is placed in West direction.
• Staircase is placed at Northwest corner.

• Plinth beam layout with reinforcement details
• First floor beam layout with reinforcement details
• Lift pit and headroom reinforcement detials
• Floor Plan
• Foundation plan
• Roof slab layout
• Column and beam layout
• Design drawing

CALCULATION OF INDIVIDUAL LOADS :-

Dead load Calculation

(A) Column :

Total number of columns are used in this design - 14

Height of each column from ground = (slab thickness x 2) + (height of each floor x 2)

= (0.125m x 2) +(3m x 2)

= 0.25 + 6 = 6.25m

Size of Column - 0.3m x 0.3m

Dead load of each column = Volume x density

= 6.25 x 0.3 x 0.3 x 25 KN/m^3 = 14.06 KN

Total load of column (14 columns) = 14 x 14.06 = 196.84 KN

(B) Beam : (Assumed 4 beams of (40') 12.2m in both directions) (north to south and east to west)

Total Beam Length - (40' x 8) = (12.2m x 8) = 97.6m

Self weight of beam = 0.3 x 0.45 x 25 KN/m^3 = 3.38 KN/m

Dead load of Beam = Volume x density

= 97.6 x 3.38 KN/m = 329.89 KN

1st Floor beam load = Same as ground floor beam

Total load of Beam = 329.89 + 329.89 = 659.78

(C) Slab :

Dead Load of Slab for ground floor

Size of Slab - (12.2m x 12.2m)

Roof slab = Area x Thickness x density
= (12.2m x 12.2m) x 0.125 x 25 KN/m^3

= 148.84m^2 x 0.125 x 25 KN/m^3

Roof Slab load = 465.13 KN

Total load of roof slab :

As per IS Code 875 :

• Floor finish load = 1.5 KN/m^2
• Water proofing = 1 KN/m^2
• Live Load = 2 KN/m^2

Self wt. + floor finish + water proofing + live load

= 465.13 + 148.84 x (1.5+1+2)
= 465.13 + 669.78 = 1134.91 KN

1st floor slab load = same as roof = 1134.91 KN

= Total load of both slabs = 1134.91 + 1134.91 = 2269.82 KN

(D) Main Wall :

• Thickness of External Wall - 0.23m
• Thickness of Internal Wall - 0.13m
• Height of each wall is 3m
• Unit weight of brick wall - 20 KN/m^3
• Dead load of external wall - 4 x (12.2m x 20KN/m^3 x 0.23m x 3m = 673.44 KN

Total load of Main external wall = 673.44 KN

1st floor Wall load = same as ground floor wall load = 673.44 KN

Total load of both Floor = 527.04 KN + 527.04 KN = 1054.08 KN

Live load Calculation :

As per Table 1 of IS-875 part 2, for residential building :

• Bed room = 2KN/m^2
• Living room = 2KN/m^2
• Bathroom = 2KN/m^2
• Toilet = 2KN/m^2
• Terrace = 3KN/m^2
• Staircase = 3KN/m^2
• Study room = 2KN/m^2
• Puja room = 2KN/m^2
• Kitchen = 2KN/m^2

Wind load Calculation :

Wind load is designed only when height is more than 10m

The height of designed building is 6.25m which is less the 10m

So, the calculation of wind is not required.

References and IS code 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

RESULT

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

The load calculation are done as per the IS code
