Vastu Shastra followed during planning is-
- The entrance of the house is provided in the east direction which is the symbol of progress in life.
- The living room is placed in a northeast direction.
- The Master bedroom is placed in a southwest position this direction brings good health and prosperity.
- The kitchen is placed in the southeast direction.
- The study room is placed in the east direction.
- The staircase is placed at the Northwest corner.
- The bathroom, WC and toilet is placed in the West direction.

Calculation of loads-
(A). Dead load Calculations:
1. Dead load of columns-
Dimension of column= 0.3m X 0.3m (300mm X 300mm)
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 = 0.585m3.
Unit weight of RCC= 25KN/m3.
Unit Weight of Building Materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (Part-1)
Dead load of column= 25 X 0.585=14.62KN.
2. Dead load of beams-
Dimension of beam= 0.3m X 0.45m (300mm X 450mm)
Total volume of concrete = 0.3 X 0.45 X 1 = 0.135m3.
Unit weight of RCC= 25KN/m3.
Unit Weight of Building Materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (Part-1)
Dead load of beam= 25 X 0.135=3.375KN
3. Dead load of the slab-
The slab is always designed for a span of 1m.
Hence assume the size of the slab as 1m X 1m.
Thickness of slab= 0.25m
Density of RCC= 25KN/m3.
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/m3
Unit Weight of Building Materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (Part-1)
Height of wall = 3m.
Load of wall on beam= 3 X 0.23 X 20= 13.8KN.
-Dead load of internal wall
Thickness of Internal wall = 0.15m. (150mm)
Unit weight of brick wall= 20KN/m3
Unit Weight of Building Materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (Part-1)
Height of wall = 3m.
Load of wall on beam= 3 X 0.15 X 20= 9KN.
(B). Live load calculations:
(According to IS 875 Part 2)
Bed Room-2.0kN/m^2
Living Room-2.0kN/m^2
Kitchen-2.0kN/m^2
Pooja Room-2.0kN/m^2
Toilet-2.0kN/m62
Lift Area-3.0kN/m^2
Balcony-3.0kN/m^2
(C). Wind load calculations:
As per IS 875:1987 PART-3, Wind load is calculated when the height of the building exceeds 10m.
The height of the proposed building is 6.5m.
So the calculation of wind load is not necessary.
References and IS Codes used for this Design:
IS 875:1987 PART-1 FOR DEAD LOADS
IS 875:1987 PART-2 FOR LIVE LOADS
IS 875:1987 PART-3 FOR WIND LOADS
IS 456:2000 FOR REINFORCED CONCRETE
RESULTS:
- The plan is prepared according to Vaastu Shastra's concept following all principles and considerations.
- The load calculations are done as per IS Code considerations.
