1Ans.Plan of G+1 Residencial plan according tp vaastu shastra and loads and dimensions of column, beam and slab is given in the below

Ground floor plan details :

Living Room (4.5x3)

Bed Room (3x3)

Mater Bed room (3x3)

Pooja Room (2.2x1.5)

Kithen (2.2x2.5)

Toilet (1.8x1.5)

First Floor :

vasthu plan:

  • The main door has been constructed in a way to ensure that when you step out, you face the North-east direction.
  • Living room has faced North-east living room is favourable.
  • Avoided bedroom in North-east as it may cause health issues.
  • Never let your kitchen face a washroom wall nor share a common wall with it.
  • Dining space should be near the kitchen and not near the main door.

All columns are 300mm x 300mm:The column present in the plan is 12 and it is mentioned C1 to C12

All beams are 300mm x 300mm

Slab thickness if 125mm

Wall height of 3 m

Step 1 : COLUMNS

Column of 300x300 mm height of 3 m

Total volume of concrete = 0.3x0.3x = 0.27

unit weigt of concrete = 25 KN/m^3

Dead load of the column = unit weigt * toatal volume

25 x 0.27= 6.75 kn/m^3

NOTE* For every column of 6.75 kn/m^3

STEP 2: BEAMS

Beam of 300x300 mm

Total volume of concrete = 0.3x0.3 = 0.09

unit weigt of concrete = 25 KN/m^3

Dead load of the column = unit weigt * toatal volume

25x0.09 = 2.25 kn/m

STEP 3: SLABS

Slab thickness of 125 mm

Dead load = 25x0.125 = 3.125 kn/m^2

STEP 4: BRICK WALL

The height of the wall is 3m

volume of brickwall = 3x0.23 = 0.69 m3

Dead load = 20 x 0.69 = 13.8 kn/m

STEP 5 : LIVE LOAD

According to IS 875 part 2

LL of residential building = 2 kn/m^2

Terrace = 1.5 kn/m^2

STEP 6 : WIND LOAD

Wind load is applicable for height of building above 10 m , but the given plan is less than 10 m so wind load is not applicable.
