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

Entrance of house

• The main entrance is not only the entry point of the family but also for energy
• The main door should be stronger and bigger than other doors in the house and made of superior quality wood preferably teak wood
• The main door should not be dark because good energy is associated with the bright and cheery places
• Garbage bags, unwanted things, and shoes should be kept away from the main door
• The main door should be open inward and avoid creaky sounds
• The main door should be constructed in a way to ensure that when you step out, you face the North ,East or in the North-East direction
• Avoid painting the main door black and placing of animal statues near the door

Living Room:

• The living room should be cluster free and it is the place where the family spends the most of time together
• The living room should face East, North or North-east ,North-west facing living room is also favorable
• Heavy furniture should be kept in the West or South-West direction of the living room
• Electronic appliances should be installed in the south-east section of the living room
• If planning for a mirror in this room , ensure you place in the North Wall
• An aquarium on the North or East wall for prosperity
• A bright picture of sunrise in the southern wall

• Keep water sink away from the gas stove
• Fridge needs to be placed at the south-west corner
• Never let your kitchen face a washroom wall nor share a common wall with it

ii) Listing the names of structural drawings required to be provided to the site.

Structural Drawings

These diagrams show the support system of a building such as the structure of the building, its structural components, the strength of the structure and how the beams, columns, stairs, slabs, etc. are connected, and so on.

AIM: To Calculate the individual loads from the structural members as per IS codes

Procedure:

-The wall thickness is taken as 230mm in the drawing

-Floor to floor is taken as 3m

-The individual loads of structural member is the dead load of the member

-It is the self-weight or permanent load acting on a structural
throughout the lifespan

-Dead load is calculated by the quantity of each material with the unit weight of the specific material

-Dead load is calculated based on IS code 875 part 1

a) column

-Assumed that column size as 230mmx230mm and height =3m for each storey

-Total Volume of concrete=0.23*0.23*6=0.3174m^3

-Unit weight of concrete =25 kn/m3
-Dead load of column =25*0.3174=7.935KN

b) Beam

-Assumed size of the beam is 230x450mm

-Unit weight of concrete=25kNm3

-Dead load of beam =0.23*0.45*25=2.587KN/m

c) Slab

-Assumed slab thickness is 125mm

-Unit weight of concrete=25kNm3

-Dead load of slab=0.125*25=3.125KNm2

d) Wall

-Assumed 3m height for each storey and thickness is 230mm

-Unit weight of brick =20KNm3

-Dead load of wall =3*0.23*20=13.8KN/m

e)Parapet Wall

-Assumed height of the wall is 750mm and thickness =150mm

-Unit weight of brick =20KNm3

-Dead load of Parapet wall =0.75*0.23*20=3.4KN/m

f) Staircase

-Assumed riser=150mm ,Tread=300mm , Waist slab thickness= 150mm

-Unit weight of concrete=25kNm3

-Waist slab acts as a one-way slab

- Dead load of waist slab=0.15X25X((√riser 2+tread2)/ Tread)

= 4.185 KN/m^2`

g) Dead load of steps

-DL= Unit weight of concreteX1/2Xriser thickness

=25*1/2*0.15=1.875kn/m3

-Dead load of landing slab

-Assumed thickness as 125mm

-Unit weight of concrete=25kNm3

-Dead Load of landing slab=25x0.125=3.125KN/m^2

Result:

Column:7.935KN

Beam:2.587KN/m

Slab:3.125KNm2

Wall:13.8KN/m

Parapet wall:3.4KN/m

staircase:

Waist slab:`4.185 KN/m^2`

Steps:1.875KNm2

Landing slab : 3.125KNm2

RESULT:

As per Vastu Shastra, Residential drawing is drawn
Listed Structural drawing names
Calculated the individual loads from the structural members as per IS codes
