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

Aim:- To make a residential plan as per Vastu Shastra and calculate the load of individual structural member as per IS code.

Here is the Residential building planned as per Vastu Shastra,

Note: Here column is placed in all corners.

Slab:-

Here we are taking Living room,

To decide which type of slab Ly/Lx

Ly (longer span)= 6m

Lx (shorter span)= 5m

6/5 = 1.2 < 2

So this is a two way slab

Thickness of slab = 125mm

Room size = 6x5m

Unit weight of RCC = 25 kN/m³

Loads per Meter:

Dead Load= 0.125x1x25 = 3.125 kN/m

Live Load= 1x2.0 = 2 kN/m (From IS 875: 1987 Part 2, Table 1 page7)

Wind Load = It is not taken here because the building height doesn’t exceed 10m.

Total Load = 5.125 kN/m

Beam:-

Here we are taking Living room,

Beam dimension = 300mm x 450mm

Room size = 6x5m

Unit weight of RCC = 25 kN/m³

Loads per Meter:

Dead Load= 0.30x0.45x25 = 3.375 kN/m

Wind Load = It is not taken here because the building height doesn’t exceed 10m.

Total Load = 3.375 kN/m

Column:-

Here we are taking Living room,

Column dimension = 300mm x 300mm

Room size = 6x5m

Unit weight of RCC = 25 kN/m³

Loads per Meter:

Dead Load= 0.30x0.30x25 = 2.25kN/m

Wind Load = It is not taken here because the building height doesn’t exceed 10m.

Wall:-

Here we are taking Living room,

Wall height = 3m

Room size = 6x5m

Unit weight of Stone masonry = 24 kN/m³

Loads per Meter:

Dead Load= 0.3 x 3.0 x 24 = 21.6 kN/m
