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

Queston:-

Sketch a G+1 floor residential plan, according to Vaastu Shastra, and list down the names of the structural drawings required to be provided to the site for construction.

Also, assume the sizes of the structural elements (Column, Beam, Slab, etc.,) and accordingly calculate the individual corresponding loads from the members as per IS code.

Answer:

AIM :

Sketching the G+1 floor residential plat satisfying the vastu shstra and calculating the load acting on the building with giving the information of the required drawings.

Introducton:

in that building have both "1st floor" and a "ground floor". this type pf building is called G+1 building.

So, in this drawing we will discuss about G+1 building according to the Vastu Shastra. in this Drawing We make the Sketch of Ground Floor and First floor According To vastu.

PROCEDURE:

1)Ground Floor 2) First Floor

Required to be provided to the site for construction.

Size in the Plane For Ground Floor area (10.70m X 15.3 m = 163.71 `m^2`)

S. NO. Name Size (in meter)
01 Living Room 7x 4
02 Toilet-1 and 2 2 x 1.5
03 Bed Room -1 4.5X3.5
04 Bed Room -2 4.5 x 4
05 Kitchen 3 x 4
06 Dining Room 3 x 4
07 Store Room 3X 1.5

in this plan All dimension in meter:

in this Drawing

All Columns Provide ( 300 x 300 )mm

beam size (300 X 450)

Slab THickness is given 125mm

Opening Provided According to Vastu Shastra

  1. Main door facing - North direction
  2. Toilet are not placed near the kitchen
  3. Dining area isbear to the Kitchen far from main door.
  4. Bedrooms are placed in southwest and east where north east is avoided
  5. All rooms are rectangle i shape
  6. Centre house is kept empy.
  7. Kitchen is placed in south east direction.
  8. Toilet is in north wesst .
  9. Livingroom is in north west .
  10. No overhanging beams are allowed to room
  11. Pooja Room is placed at east.

Required Drawing:

  1. Centre line Drawing.
  2. Footing and column layout with reinforcement details.
  3. column schedule with reinforcement details.
  4. Plinth beam layout with reinforcement details.
  5. First floor beam layout with reinforcement details.
  6. First floor slab layout with reinforcement details.
  7. Lift pit and headroom reinforcement details.

Assuning the data for load calculation:

Assumed Size of the room

- All Column Are 300mm x 300mm

- All Beams are 300mm x 450mm

- Slab THickness 125mm

- The Hight of wall is 3 m

Load Calculation:

Column Load :

Given Data,

Height of column = 3m

Size Of Column = 300x 300 mm = 0.3 *0.3m

Volume of the column = 0.3*0.3*3

= 0.27`m^3`

We know that the unit Weight of concrete = 25 `kN/m^3`

Dead Load of Column= Unit Weight of Concrete* Volume of Concrete

= 25* 0.27

= 6.75 `kN`

Beam Load :

Given Data,

Total C/S area of the BEAM

= 0.3 m* 0.45

= 0.135 `m^3`

We know that the unit Weight of Concrete = 25 `kN/m^3`

Dead Load of Beam = Unit Weight of Concrete* Volume of Concrete

= 25* 0.135

= 3.125 `kN/m^2`

Slab Load :

Given Data;

Thickness of Slab = 125m =0.125m

Self weight of Slab = Unit Weight of Concrete*THickness of Concrete

We know that the unit Weight of Concrete = 25 `kN/m^3`

= 25* 0.125m

= 3.125 `kN/m^2`

Wall Load :

Given Data ,

height of wall 3m

Thickness of wall 230mm = 0.23 m

We know that the unit Weight of Brick wall = 20`kN/m^3`

Self Weight of tha wall

= unit weight of wall * thickness of wall * height of wall

= 20* 0.23*3

= 13kN/m

Live Load Acording to the IS-875, (Part-2,Table-1)

For

Live load of the plan:

According to IS- 875 (part-2, UDL)

For all room and kitchens = 2 kn/m^2

Toilet and bathroom = 2 kn/m^2

Store rooms = 3 kn/m^2

terrace = 3 kn/m^2

And near staircase provide the live load on UDL 3kN/m^2Here since it is the house the live load of the 2KN/m^2 is adopted on the slabs (from IS 875-part 2 Table 1)

Wind Load :-

If the height of the building is more than 10m. then the building needs to be designed for wind load. but we can see the heihgt of this building is 3+3 =6m . so there is no need to considered wind load.

RESULT:- the plan of G+1 floor residential building is prepared with consideration of concept of vastu- shastra. Total load calculation are done as per IS code consideration.
