4. plinth beams layout with reinforcement details
5. first floor beam layout with reinforcement details
6. first floor slab layout with reinforcement details

Load calculations

Specify the assumed size of the rooms.

-All columns are 300mm * 300mm

- All beams are 300mm*450mm

- Slab thickness if 125mm

- The height of the wall is 3m

Dead loads

1. Column

The height of the column as3m

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

Total volume of the column

= 0.3*0.3*3

= 0.27m^3

Unit weight of concrete * 25KN/m^3

Dead load of column

= unit weight of concrete * volume of concrete

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

=6.75KN

1. 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*0.135

=3.375 KN/m^2

1. Slab

Dead load of a slab of 125mm thickness

Unit weight of concrete = 25KN/m^3

Self-weight of concrete * thickness of concrete

=25 KN/m^3*0.125m

=3.125KN/m^2

1. Walls

Height of wall 3m

Dead load of a wall of 300mm thickness

Unit weight of brick wall = 20KN/m^3

Self-weight of the wall

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

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

=18KN/m

Live loads

*According to the Is875(part2)

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

For these rooms and bathroom and no balconies are present in the building

And near staircase provides 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
