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

  • Assuming the plot size to be 9.5m x 12m = 114m^2
  • Assumed size of columns = 300mm x 300mm
  • Assumed size of beams = 300mm x 450mm
  • Wall height = 4.5m
  • Wall thickness = 230mm
  • Slab thickness = 125mm
  • Therefore, assumed size of the rooms for Ground-floor
  1. Living room = 5.5m x 6m
  2. Bathroom =4.5m x 2.5m
  3. Storage room = 2m x 3.5m
  4. Master Bedroom = 5m x 3.5m
  5. Pooja room = 2.5m x 2m
  6. Dining room = 2.5m x 6.5m
  7. Kitchen = 2.5m x 3.5m
  • Number of columns = 21
  • Total length of the beams = 73.5m
  • Total slab area = 9.5m x 12m = 114m^2
  • Assumed size of the rooms for first-floor
  1. Toilet-1 = 1.5m x 2m
  2. Storage room = 1.5m x 2m
  3. Toilet-2 = 1.5m x 3m
  4. Hall = 4.5m x 5.5m
  5. Bedroom = 4.5m x 4.5m
  6. Dining room = 2m x 3m
  7. Kitchen = 2m x 3m
  • Number of columns = 21
  • Total length of the beams = 52m
  • Total Slab area = 6x4 + 2x3 + 6x6 + 1.5x3 + 2x3 = 76.5m^2
  • Dead load calculations
  1. Columns = 25kN/m^3 * (0.300 * 0.300 * 4.5)m^3 * 42 = 425.25 kN
  2. Beams = 25kn/m^3 * (0.300 * 0.450 * (52 + 73.5))m^3 = 423.57 kN
  3. Slab = 25kN/m^3 * (76.5 + 114)m^2 * 0.125m = 595.32 kN
  4. Walls = 20kN/m^3 * 4.5 * 0.230m *(9.5x4 + 12x4) = 1780.20 kN
  • Live load calculations - IS 875 (part-2) is to be considered. It can be only assumed in UDL form. Ex: 2kN/m or 3kN/m.
  • Wind load calculations - Since the structure doesnot exceeds 10m height. Therefore there is no need for wind load calculation.
