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

1 Calculate the self weight of Plinth Beam for ground floor

‌size:- 0.3mx0.3mx12m

= Volume* density

= 0.3*0.3*12* 2500

=1.08* 2500

=2700 kg

Total (4 Beam)=4*2700= 10800kg

‌size:- 0.3mx0.3mx13m

= Volume* density

= 0.3*0.3*13* 2500

=1.17* 2500

=2925 kg

Total (4 Beam)=4*2700= 11700kg

Total plinth Beam self-weight =10800+11700=22500 kg

2 Calculate the self-weight of a column for ground floor

‌size:- 0.3mx0.4mx2.7m

= Volume* density

= 0.3*0.4*2.7* 2500

=0.324* 2500

=810 kg

Total (12 column)=12*810= 9720kg

‌size:- 0.3mx0.3mx2.7m

= Volume* density

= 0.3*0.3*2.7* 2500

=0.243* 2500

=607.5 kg

Total (6 column)=6*607.5= 3645kg

Total colum dead load =9720+3646=13365 kg

3. Calculate the self-weight of wall between Plinth beam to floor beam of height 2.7m for ground floor

‌Assuming that width of wall is 0.3m and use masonry wall and it's density is 2200kg/m3

size:- 0.3mx2.7mx12m

= Volume* density

= 0.3*2.7*12* 2200

=9.72* 2200

=21384 kg

Total (4 Beam)=4*21384= 85536kg

‌size:- 0.3mx2.7mx13m

= Volume* density

= 0.3*2.7*13* 2200

=10.53* 2200

=23166 kg

Total (4 Beam)=4*23166= 92664kg

Total wall self-weight = 85536+92664= 178200kg

4 Calculate the self weight of Beam for ground floor

‌size:- 0.3mx0.3mx12m

= Volume* density

= 0.3*0.3*12* 2500

=1.08* 2500

=2700 kg

Total (4 Beam)=4*2700= 10800kg

‌size:- 0.3mx0.3mx13m

= Volume* density

= 0.3*0.3*13* 2500

=1.17* 2500

=2925 kg

Total (4 Beam)=4*2700= 11700kg

Total plinth Beam self-weight =10800+11700=22500 kg

5. Calculate the self-weight of a ground floor slab of 125mm thickness

= Volume* density

= 12*13*0.125 * 2500

=19.5* 2500

=48750 kg

6. Calculate the self-weight of a column for First floor

‌size:- 0.3mx0.4mx2.7m

= Volume* density

= 0.3*0.4*2.7* 2500

=0.324* 2500

=810 kg

Total (12 column)=12*810= 9720kg

‌size:- 0.3mx0.3mx2.7m

= Volume* density

= 0.3*0.3*2.7* 2500

=0.243* 2500

=607.5 kg

Total (6 column)=6*607.5= 3645kg

Total Column Self weight =9720+3646=13365 kg

7 Calculate the self-weight of wall between Beam to first floor slab beam of height 2.7m for ground floor

‌Assuming that width of wall is 0.3m and use masonry wall and it's density is 2200kg/m3

size:- 0.3mx2.7mx12m

= Volume* density

= 0.3*2.7*12* 2200

=9.72* 2200

=21384 kg

Total (4 Beam)=4*21384= 85536kg

‌size:- 0.3mx2.7mx13m

= Volume* density

= 0.3*2.7*13* 2200

=10.53* 2200

=23166 kg

Total (4 Beam)=4*23166= 92664kg

Total wall self-weight = 85536+92664= 178200kg

8 Calculate the self weight of Beam for First floor floor

‌size:- 0.3mx0.3mx12m

= Volume* density

= 0.3*0.3*12* 2500

=1.08* 2500

=2700 kg

Total (4 Beam)=4*2700= 10800kg

‌size:- 0.3mx0.3mx13m

= Volume* density

= 0.3*0.3*13* 2500

=1.17* 2500

=2925 kg

Total (4 Beam)=4*2700= 11700kg

Total plinth Beam self-weight =10800+11700=22500 kg

7. Calculate the self-weight of a First faloor slab of 125mm thickness

= Volume* density

= 12*13*0.125 * 2500

=19.5* 2500

=48750 kg
