    • LOAD CALCULATIONS:
      • Dead load:-
      • As per IS-875 part 1
      • For column:-
      • Total volume of column=0.3*0.3*4.5=0.405m^3
      • Unit weight of concrete=25kn/m3
      • Total dead load of column=25*0.405=10.125kn
      • For beam
      • Total volume of beam=0.3*0.45*4.5=0.6075
      • Unit weight of concrete=25kn/m3
      • Total dead load of beam=25*0.6075=15.1875 kn
      • for slab
      • total volume of slab=1*1*0.125=0.125m3
      • Unit weight of slab=25kn/m3
      • Dead load of slab=25*0.125=3.125kn
      • Wall loads
      • height of the wall=4.5m
      • Thickness of wall=250mm
      • Unit weight of brick masonary=20kn/m3
      • Total dead load=20*0.250*4.5=22.5kn/m
        • Live load calculations:-
        • As per IS 875-part2 table1;
        • BEadroom=2kn/m2
        • Living room=2kn/m2
        • Kitchen=2kn/m2
        • Toilets=2kn/m2
        • terrace=3kn/m2
        • Staircase=3kn/m2
        • Wind load calculations
