AIM OF THE PROJECT

To the sketch a G+1 floor resindential plan vaastu shastra and to list down the names of structural drawings required to be provided to the site for construction.

To assume the size of structural elements (column,beam,slab) and to calculate the loads from the mwmbers as per IS code

(A).CALCULATION OF LOADS

1. DEAD LOAD OF COLUMN

Determine of column = 0.3 x 0.3 (300mm x 300mm)

Height of column = (slab thickness x 2) + (Height of wall for each x 2) = (0.2 x 2) + (3 x 2) =6.5m

Total volume of concrete = 0.3 x 0.3 x 6.5 = 0.585m^3

Unit weight of RCC = 25KN/m3

Unit weight of building materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (PART-1)

Dead load of column = 25 x 0.585 = 14.62KN

2. DEAD LOAD OF BEAMS

Dimensions of beam = 0.3m x 0.45m

Total volume of concrete = 0.3 x 0.45 x 1 = 0.135m3

Unit weght of RCC = 25KN/M3

Unit weight of building materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (part-1)

Dead load of beam = 25 x 0.135 = 3.375KN

3. DEAD LOAD OF SLAB

Slab is always designed for the span of 1m

hence assume size of slab as 1m x 1m

Thickness of slab = 0.25m

Density of RCC = 25 KN/m3

self weight pf slab = 1 x 1 x 0.25 x 25 =6.25KN

4. DEAD LOAD OF WALLS

Dead load of external wall

Thickness of external wall = 0.23m

Unit weight of brick wall = 20KN/m3

Unit weight of building materials used in construction works as per IS 875(PART-1)

Height of wall = 3m

Load of wall on beam = 3 x 0.23 x 20 = 13.8KN

Dead load of internal wall

Thickness of internal wall = 0.15m

Unit weight of building materials used in construction works as per IS 875(PART-1)

Height of wall = 3m

Load of wall on beam = 3 x 0.15 x 20 = 9KN

(B). LIVE LOAD CALCULATION

Accoding to IS 875 part2

Bed room = 2KN/m2

Living room = 2KN/m2

Bath = 2N/m2

Terrace = 3KN/m2

Toilet = 2KN/m2

Staircases = 3KN/m2

Study room = 2KN/m2

Kitchen = 2KN/m2

(C) WIND LOAD CALCULATION

Wind load is designed only when the height of the building exceeds 10m

The heights of designed builing is 6.5m which is less than 10m

so,the calculation of wind load is not required.

Reference and IS codes used for the design

  • IS 875:1987.part1 for dead load
  • IS 875:1987.part2 for live load
  • IS 875:1987.part3 for wind load
  • IS 456:2000.part4 for reinforced concrete

RESULT

  • The plan is prepred by the vaastu shastra concept considering all the principles and cinsideration of vaastu shastra
  • The load calculation are done as per the IS code consideration
