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

Vaastu shastra:

• Vaastu shastra is an ancient indian science which are used as a guideline to design our home
• The whole universe comes from energy
• The five main forms of energy are space,earth,water,fire and air
• We try to utilies these energy by different means
• Vaastu shastra has been designed to harness the space energy
• According to vaastu shastra, all that exists in our surrounding,such as people,furniture,all animate things,respond to our thoughts

Basic principles of vastu shastra:

Shape:- rooms should be square or rectangular

Room basics:- rooms should be airy, well lit, bright and clean

Home center: -center of house should be an empty space

Stairs and furniture:- heavy furniture should be kept in south- west direction

Water:- avoid keeping plants and water features in bedrooms

Dinning table:- it should be near the kitchen

Mirror placement:- placed in such a way that bed can not be seen in mirror

AUSPICIOUS DIRECTION AS PER VASTU SHASTRA

• FOR KITCHEN: south - east is best direction for kitchen,N-E to be avoided
• FOR STAIRCASE: south-west is best; N-E to be avoided
• FOR TOILET: north-west is best,N-E is to be avoided
• FOR MASTER BED ROOM: south- west is best,
• FOR GUEST ROOM: N-W is best
• FOR LIVING ROOM: N-W is best

Sketch for ground floor and 1st floor is same ( as per vastu and customer needs)

Part 2: To list down the names of the structural drawing required to be provided to the site for construction.

The structural drawing is as follow:-

• centre line drawing
• depth and soil strata of foundation details
• footing and column layout with reinforcement details
• elevation of building
• column schedule with reinforcement details
• plinth beam layouy with reinforcement details
• each floor beam layout with reinforcement details
• each floor slab layout with reinforcement detail
• lift pit and headroom reinforcement details
• staircase reinforcement and dimension details

Part 3: To assume the sizes of the structural elements(column,beam,slab etc.) and to calculate the individual corresponding loads from members as per IS code

Structural dimensions for given layouty is as follows:

Column300*300mm

Beam300*450mm

Slab thickness 125mm

Wall thickness 230mm

Dead load calculations

a) Column

Column dimension 0.3m*0.3m

Height of one column slab thickness+height of wall

0.125+3=3.125m

Total height of one column from G to 1st floor 2*3.125=6.25m

Total number of column 12+12(each floor 12)

Volume of one column concrete 0.3*0.3*3.125=0.281m^3

Total volumn of column concrete each floor 0.281*12=3.375m^3

total volume of concrete for column in building =2*3.375=6.75m^3

Unit weight of concrete 25kn/m^3

Dead load of columns in buiding total vol. of concrete for column *unit weight of concrete

6.75*25=168.75kn

b) Beam

• Dimension of beam =(0.3*0.45)m
• volume of concrete = 0.3*0.45=0.135m^3/m
• unit unit of rcc beam =25kn/m^3
• Dead load of beam per meter lenght =volume of beam*unit wt. of concrete
• = 0.135*25=3.375kn/m
• total number of beam

c) Slab

• Area of slab (1*1)m
• slab thickness 125mm
• total vol. of slab 1*1*1.25=0.125m^3
• unit wt. of concrete 25kn/m^3

Dead load of slab 0.125*25=3.125kn/m^2

d) Walls

• wall thickness 230mm
• height of wall 3m
• volume of wall 0.23*3=0.69 m^3/m
• unit wt. of bricks 20kn/m^3
• Dead load of walls vol. of wall *unit weight of brick
• =0.69*20=13.8kn/m

LIVE LOAD CALCULATION

According to IS:875 part2 for residential buildings the load criteria is as follows

• Bead room 2kn/m^2
• Living room 2kn/m^2
• Bathroom 2kn/m^2
• Staircase 3kn/m^2
• Kitchen 2kn/m^2
• Puja room 2kn/m^2
• Terrace 3kn/m^2
• Storeroom 3kn/m^2
• Balcony 3kn/m^2

WIND LOAD CALCULATION

According to IS:875 part3, wind load is to be considered when the height of building is more than 10m.As here it is not that case (6.25m+0.4m=6.29m <10m) so do not consider wind load affect.
