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

1) AIM: Sketch of G+1 floor residential plan as per vaastu shastra

Introduction: we plan a duplex house with north facing as per vaastu . The total area of plot is 8mx7m.we simply plan a sketch on paper.

North facing plan : ground floor 8mx7m

: First floor plan 8mx7m

  • Name of drawings needed at site :-

- center line drawing

- footing and column layout with reinforcement details

- column schedule with reinforcement details

- first floor slab layout with reinforcement details

- first floor beam layout with reinforcement details

- lift pit and headroom reinforcement details

2) AIM : Calculate the load from member as per IS code

Introduction : first, we assume the size of each member of building and then calculate the dead load, live load and wind load if possible.

DEAD LOAD CALCULATION :

For 1 column:

size of column = 0.3mx0.3mx4.5m

volumn of column = (0.3*0.3*4.5)

= 0.405 m3

since, unit weight of RCC concrete = 25 KN/m3

therefore, Dead load = unit weight*volumn

= 25*0.405

= 10.125 KN

For 1 beam :

Size of beam = 0.3x0.45

area = 0.3*0.45=0.135 m2

unit wight of rcc concrete = 25 KN/m3

therefore, Dead load = 25*0.135

= 3.375 KN/m

For 1 slab :

Slab thickness = 0.125 m

span dimension = 3mx3m

since, unit weight of RCC concrete slab = 25 KN/m3

therefore, Dead load = unit weight*volumn

= 25*3*3*0.125

= 28.125 KN

For wall :

Height of wall = 4.5m

unit weight of brick masonry = 20KN/m3

Assume, thickness of wall = 250mm

= 0.25m

per unit area = height*thickness

= 4.5*0.25

= 1.125m2

therefore, Dead load on beam per meter = unit weight*area

= 20*1.125=20.5 KN/m

LIVE LOAD CALCULATION:

For residential buiilding, minimum live load 2.0 KN/m2

so we take 2.2 KN/m2

WIND LOAD CALCULATION :

since the height of building is 9 m which is less than 10 m

so ,there is no need to calculate wind load calculation in this building.
