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
