answer

drawing available in pictures

opening is provided above the ground level for the aesthetic look

all the doors are inwards

here

i.main door is facing the north direction

ii.toilets are not placed near kitchen

iii.dining area is near to kitchen far from main door

iv.bedrooms are placed in southwest and southwest where north east is avoided

v.all rooms are rectangular in shape

vi.kitchen is placed in south east direction

vii.toilets is in north west

viii.center house is kept empty

ix.pooja room is placed at east

x.living room is in north west

xi.no overhanging beams are allowed to rooms

required drawing

I.center line drawing

II.footing and column with reinforcement details

III.column schedule with reinforcement details

IV.plinth beam layout with reinforcement details

V.first floor slab layout with reinforcement details

VI.first floor beam layout with reinforcement details

VII.lift pit and headroom reinforcement details

Load calculations

Specify the assumed size of the rooms.

-all columns are 300mmx300mm

-all beams are 300mmx450mm

-slabs thickness if 125mm

-the height of wall is 3m

DEAD LOADS

a. cloumn

the height of the column as 3m

dead load of the column of size 0.3*0.3*3

total load of the column=0.3*0.3*3=0.27m3^3

unit weight of concrete=25KN/m^3

dead load of column=unit weight of concrete*volume of concrete

=25KN/m^3*0.27m^3=6.75KN

b.beams

total C/S area of the beam=0.3*0.45=0.135m^2

unit weight of concrete=25KN/m^3

dead load of column=unit weight of concrete*area of concrete

=25 KN/m^3*0.135m^2=3.375 KN/m

c.slabs

dead load of slab of 125mm thickness

unit weight of concrete=25KN/m^3

self-weight of concrete*thickness of concrete

=25KN/m^3*0.125m

=3.125KN/m^2

d.walls

height of wall 3m

dead load of a wall of 300mm thickness

unit weight og brick wall=20KN/m^3

self-weight of brick wall

=unit weight of brick wall*thickness of wall*height of wall

=20KN/m^3*0.3m*0.3m

=18KN/m

live load

according to the IS875 pate 2 table 1

for the residential building use the live load of the UDL 2KN/m^2

for this rooms and bathrooms and no balconies are presented in the building and near staircase provided the live load on UDL 3KN/m^2

here since it is the house the live load of the 2KN/m^2 is adopted on the slabs from IS 875-part 2 table 1

wind load

since,height of the building is less than 10m wind load calculation is not implemented on the building where total height of building is 3m+3m=6m
