Calculation of loads-
(A) Dead load calculations.
1.Dead load of columns-
Dimension of columns=0.3m x 0.3m(300m x 300m)
Height of column = (slab thickness x 2)+(Height of wall for each floor x 2)
=(0.25 x 2) + (3 x 2) = 6.5m
Total volume of concrete = 0.3 x 0.3 x 6.5=0.585 cubic m
Unit weight of Rcc = 25 KN/cubic m
Unit weight of building material used in construction work as per IS 875 (part 1)
Dead load of column = 25 x 0.585=14.62KN
2.Dead load of beams-
Dimenson of beam = 0.3m x 0.45m(300mm x 450mm)
Total volume of concrete= 0.3x 0.45 x 1=0.135 cubic m
Unit weight of Rcc= 25 KN/cubic m
Unit weight of building material used in construction work as per IS 875 (part 1)
Dead load of beam = 25 x 0.135=3.375 KN
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/ cubic m.
Self weight of 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 (230mm)
Unit weight of brick wall = 20KN/ cubic m
Unit weight of Building material used in Construction work as per IS 875(part 1)
Height of wall= 3 m
Load of wall on beam = 3 x 0.23 x20=13.8 KN
-Dead load on inernal wall
Thickness of internal wall = 0.15m (150mm)
Unit weight of Building material used in Construction work as per IS 875(part 1)
Height of wall= 3 m
Load of wall on beam = 3 x 0.15 x20=9 KN
(B) Live load calculations-
(According to IS 875 part 2)
Bed room = 2 KN/sq m
Living room = 2KN/ sq m
Bath = 2KN/sq m
Terrace = 3KN/ sq m
Toilet = 2KN/ sq m
Staircase = 3KN/ sq m
Study room = 2KN/sq m
Kitchen = 2KN/ sq m
(C) Wind load calculation-
Wind load is desighned only when the height of the building exceeds 10m.
The height of designed building is 6.5m which is less than 10m.
so , the calculation of wind load is not required.
Refrences and IS codes used for the design-
IS 875:1987 , Part 1 for Dead load
IS 875:1987 , Part 2 for Live load
IS 875:1987 , Part 3 for Wind load
IS 456:2000,for reinforcement concrete.
Results-
-The plan is prepared by the vastu shastra concepts considering all the principles and consideration of vastu shastra.
-The load calculation are done as per the IS load considerations.
