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

A) Vastu shastra :

  • Vastu shastra is an ancient Indian science which are used as a guideline to design our home .
  • By using the vastu shastra we can design the home in such a way that by proper use of natural sources like the sun, flow of a wind , moon ,water and earth to live the healthy and peaceful life .
  • The good home need the to use right kind of a energy .

B) Basic principle of a vastu shastra :

1) Shape :

  • Shape of a building may be rectangle or may be square

2) Room basic :

  • Room should be always clean and bright to readiate the positive energy .

3) Home centre :

  • Home centre should be empty to easy movement in all rooms

4) Water :

  • Water and plants sound be avoid to placed near or the the bedroom .

5) Dining table :

  • Dining should be placed near the kitchen and avoid to be placed in front of a main door .

6) Mirror :

  • Mirror in the bedroom should be avoided to be placed in front of a bed

C) Auspicious direction as per vastu shastra :

i) Kitchen :

  • South - east is the best as per vastu shastra for the kitchen .

ii) Staircase :

  • South -west is the best for the staircase .

iii) Toilets and wash room :

  • North -west is the best for the toilets as per vasstu shastra .

iv) Bed room :

  • South -west is the best for the bed room

v) Guest room :

  • North -west is the best for the guest room

vi) Living room :

  • North- west is the best for the living room

vii) Store room :

  • West direction is the best for the stoor room .

Following G+1 plan is designed by using the vastu shastra .and all the direction of the building is as per the vastu shastra

D) AIM :

  • Sketch a G+1 floor residential plan, according to Vaastu Shastra, and list down the names of the structural drawings required to be provided to the site for construction.

  • Terrace : 9.5m x 6.3m
  • Sitting out with gardening : 4.5m x 4m
  • Bed room : 3.5m x 4m
  • Staircase: 3m x 4m

6) OTHER DIMENSITION OF A BUILDING :

  • Dimension of a plan : 18.35m x 10.92 m
  • Thickness of external/internal wall :230 mm i.e. 0.23 m
  • Thickness of a slab : 250mm i.e. 0.25m
  • Height if a first floor : 4m
  • Height of a first floor :4m
  • Dimension of a beam : 300mm*450mm i.e. 0.3*0.45 m
  • Dimension of a column : 300*300 mm i.e. 0.3*0.3 m

7) LIST OF DRAWING PROVIDED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AT SITE :

  • Centre line plan
  • Footing and column layout plan
  • Foundation plan
  • Floor plan
  • Design drawing
  • Slab layout pan
  • Section drawing of a building
  • Drainage pan
  • Plumbing details
  • Electrification details
  • Furniture plan

8) LOAD CALCULATION:

a)DEAD LOAD CALCULATION

i) Dade Load Of a Column :

  • Dimension of a column : 0.3m x 0.3m

Height of a column = slab thickness of two slab + height of ground Floor + Height of a first floor

Height of a column = 0.25+0.25+4+4

=8.5 m

  • Unit weight of a Rcc : 25 KN/m^3

Dead load of a column = unit weight of a Rcc x volume of a column

Dead load of a column = 25 x (8.5 x 0.3 x 0.3)

= 19.125 KN/M^3

Dead load of a column : 19.125 KN/M^3

ii) Dead Load On Beam :

  • Dimension of a beam : 0.3 x 0.45 m
  • Dead load of beam calculate for one meter length so, length of a beam is 1 m
  • Unit weight of a RCC : 25 KN/M^3

Dead load of a beam = Unit weight of a beam x Volume of a beam

Dead load on a beam = 25 x ( 0.3 x 0.45 x 1)

= 3.375 KN/m^3

Dead load of a beam per meter lengths is 30.375 KN/M^3

iii) Dead Load Of a Slab :

  • Dimension of a slab is 18.35 m x 10.92 m but,
  • Slab is always design for one meter span hence assume the size of a slab is 1m x 1m
  • So, size of slab is 1m x 1m
  • Unit weight of RCC slab is 25 KN/M^3

Dead load of a slab = Unit weight of slab x Volume of a slab

= 25 x (1 x 1 x 0.25)

=6.25 KN

Dead load of slab having size (1 x 1m) is 6.25 KN

iv) Dead Load Of Wall :

  • Thickness of a wall : 0.23 m
  • Unit weight of a bricks : 20 KN/m^3

Height of wall = Total height of floor - Beam thickness

=4-0.45

= 3.55 m

Dead load of a wall = Unit weight of bricks x Volume of a bricks

Hence,

Dead load of wall = 20 x (0.23 x 3.55)

= 20.4125 KN/m

Dead load of wall : 20.4125 KN/m

b) LIVE LOAD CALCULATION:

i) Live Load Calculation Of Ground Floor Calculation :

(According to IS CODE 875 part 2 following live load is calculated for each) :

  • Living room : 2 KN/M^2
  • Pooja room: 2 KN/M^2
  • Kitchen : 2 KN/M^2
  • Dining hall : 2 KN/M^2
  • Staircase: 3 KN/M^2
  • Wc and bathroom: 2 KN/M^2
  • Master Bed room : 2 KN/M^2
  • Bed room: 2 KN/M^2
  • Balcony: 3 KN/M^2
  • Wc: 2 KN/M^2
  • Bathroom: 2 KN/M^2
  • Store room: 3 KN/M^2

ii) Live Load Calculation Of Ground Floor Calculation :

(According to IS CODE 875 part 2 following live load is calculated for each) :

  • Study room/ Children room : 2 KN/M^2
  • Wc and bathroom: 2 KN/M^2
  • Master bedroom: 2 KN/M^2
  • Balcony: 3 KN/M^2
  • Wc: 2 KN/M^2
  • Bathroom: 2 KN/M^2
  • Terrace : 3 KN/M^2
  • Sitting out with gardening : 3 KN/M^2
  • Bed room : 2 KN/M^2
  • Staircase: 3 KN/M^2

Live load of first floor: 24 KN /m^2

C) WIND LOAD CALCULATION:

  • As per the IS CODE 875 part 3 wind load is calculated for building when height of a building is a more then 10 m
  • Here, height of building is 8 m which is less tha 10 m
  • So, calculation of wind load is not required

F) RESULTS :

  • Design of a G+1 building is as per the vastu shastra here we can consider all aspect and principle of vastu shastra
  • And the load is calculated by using IS CODE .

G) REFERENCE OF IS CODE

  • Building design : Prepared by vastu shastra
  • Cement used : Opc grade conforming IS CODE IS: 8112
  • Concrete used : Design mix as per the IS CODE IS 456 :2000
  • Dead Load calculation : As per the IS CODE 875 ( part 1)
  • Live Load calculation : As per the IS CODE 875 (part 2)
  • Wind Load calculation : As per the IS CODE 875 (part 3)

This the project on design of a G+1 building as per the vastu shastra . and calculation of various load as per IS CODE . all references of IS CODE is given above .
