Sketch a G+1 residential plan according to Vaastu Shastra and Calculation of Loads as per IS code
AIM
To sketch the G+1 floor residual plan according to Vastu Shastra and to list down the names of structural drawings required to be provided to the site for construction and calculations of loads are to done.
INTRODUCTION
To assume the size of structural elements(column,beam,slab etc) and to calculate the loads from the members as per IS Code.

Bed Room - 3.0m*4.5m
Toilet - 3.25m*1.2m
Bath Room - 2.4m*1.2m
WC - 1.2m*1.0m
Other Dimensions
Thickness of Internal Wall -0.2m
Thickness of External Wall -0.28m
Thickness of Slab -0.25m
Dimensions of Column -0.3m*0.3m
Dimensions of Beam -0.3m*0.45m

Vastu Shastra Followed during Planning is:
- Entrance of the house is provided in the east direction which is the symbol of progrss in life.
- Living room is placed in North East direction.
- Master Bedroom is placed in South West position , the direction brings good health and prosperity.
- Kitchen is placed in South East direction.
- Study room is placed in East direction.
- Stair case is placed in North West direction.
- Bathroom,WC and Toilet is placed in West direction.

PROCEDURE
Calculations of loads
A.Dead load calculations:
1.Dead load of columns
Dimension of column= 0.3*0.3m
Height of column=(slab thickness*2)+(height of wall for each floor*2)
=(0.25*2)+(3*2)=6.5m
Total volume of concrete= 0.3*0.3*6.5=0.585cubic metre
Unit weight of RCC =25KN/cubic metre
Unit weight of building materials used in construction works as per IS 875(part-1)
Dead load of column=25*0.585=14.62KN
2.Dead load of beams
Dimensions of beam =0.3*0.45m
Total volume of concrete=0.3*0.45*1=0.135cubic metre
Unit weight of RCC =25KN/cubic metre
Dead load 0f beam =25*0.135=3.375KN
3.Dead load of slab
Slab is always designed for thespan of 1m
Asssume size of slab =1.2*1.2m=1.44
Thickness of slab =0.25m
Self weight of slab =1.44*0.25*25=9KN
4.Dead load of walls
a.Load of external walls
Thickness =0.28m
Unit weight of external wall=20KN/cubic metre
Unit weight of building materialsused in construction orks as per 875(part-1)
Height of wall=3.5m
Load of wall on beam=3.5*0.28*20=19.6KN
b.Load of internal walls
Thickness of wall=0.2m
Unit weight of brick wall=20KN/cubic metre
Height of wall=3.5m
Load of wall on beam=3.5*0.20*20=14KN
Dead load is based on IS 875:1987 (part 1)
Reinforced concrete is based on IS 456:2000
B.Live load calculations
Bedroom =2KN/sqm
Livingroom =2KN/sqm
Bathroom=2KN/sqm
Toilet=2KN/sqm
Studyroom=2KN/sqm
Kitchen=2KN/sqm
Terrace=3KN/sqm
Staircase=3KN/sqm
Live load is based on IS 875:1987 (part 2)
C.Wind load calculations
Wind load is considered when the height of building is more than 10m.
Height of designed building is 7.5m
So, the calculation of wind load is not required.
Wind load is based on IS 875:1987 (part 3)
RESULT
- The plan is prepared by Vaastu Shastra concept considering all the principles and considerations.
- The load calculations are done as per IS code considerations
