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

Ans. Important structural drawings for a project -

• 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 Headroom reinforcement details

Load Calculation -

Let all the -

Columns = 300 x 300

Beams = 250 x 300

Slab = 125mm thick(4m x 4m)

Floor to Floor height = 3m

Self weight of Columns = 3*0.3*0.3*25 = 6.75 KN

Self Weight of Beams = 1 * 0.25*0.3*25 = 1.875 KN

Self weight of Slab = 0.125 * 4*4 *25 = 50 KN

So total dead load for ground floor = 58.625 KN

lets take live load = 2KN/m

We donot consider wind load as the height of the building is less than 10m.
