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

Ground floor

First floor

Opening is provided above the ground level for the aesthetic look
All doors are inwards
 Here
i. Main door is facing the north direction
ii. Toilets are not placed near the kitchen
iii. Dining area is near to kitchen far from main door
iv. Bedrooms are placed in southwest and south east where north east is avoided
v. All rooms are rectangle in shape
vi. Centre house is kept empty
vii. Kitchen is placed in south east direction
viii. Toilet is in north west
ix. Livingroom is in north west
x. No overhanging beams are allowed to rooms
xi. Pooja room is placed at east

 Required drawings

I. centre line drawing
II. footing and column layout with reinforcement details
III. column schedule with reinforcement details
IV. plinth beam layout with reinforcement details
V. first floor beam layout with reinforcement details
VI. first floor slab layout with reinforcement details
VII. lift pit and headroom reinforcement details

 Load calculations

Specify the assumed size of the rooms.
- All columns are 300mm x 300mm
- All beams are 300mm x 450mm
- Slab thickness if 125mm
- The height of the wall is 3m

• Dead loads

A. Column
the height of the column as 3 m
Dead load of the column of size 0.3*0.3*3
Total volume of the column
= 0.3*0.3*3
= 0.27 m^3
Unit weight of concrete = 25KN/m^3
Dead load of column
= unit weight of concrete * volume of concrete
= 25 KN/m^3 * 0.27m^3
= 6.75 KN

B. Beams
Total C/S area of the BEAM
= 0.3*0.45
= 0.135m^2
Unit weight of concrete = 25KN/m^3
Dead load of column
= unit weight of concrete * area of concrete
= 25 KN/m^3 * 0.135m^2
= 3.375 KN/m

C. Slabs
Dead load of a slab of 125mm thickness
Unit weight of concrete = 25KN/m^3
self-weight of the slab
= unit weight of concrete * thickness of concrete
= 25 KN/m^3 * 0.125m
= 3.125 KN/m^2

D. walls
Height of wall 3m
Dead load of a wall of 300mm thickness
Unit weight of brick wall = 20KN/m^3
self-weight of the wall
= unit weight of brick wall * thickness of wall*height of wall
= 20 KN/m^3 * 0.3m * 3m
= 18 KN/m

• Live loads

• According to the IS875 (part2) table 1
For the residential buildings use the live load of the UDL 2KN/m^2
For this rooms and bathrooms and no balconies are present in the building.
And near staircase provide the live load on UDL 3KN/m^2
Here 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 calculations

since, height of the building is less than 10 m wind load calulation is not implemented on the building

where total height of building is 3m+3m = 6m.
