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

- 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 .
