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

this is a G+1 residential plan according to Vasthu shastra.

adopt some guideline when we draw a plan according to vaastu shastra .

1. Living room --facing must be north and north west direction.

-- drawn in this type face is north

--Entrance main door face should be north .

2.Prayer room --

--north or north east is good .

-- facing is east when we will meditate or prayer .

-- light yellow ,green ,white or beige colour are option.

3. Kitchen --

-South -east direction is very good position for kitchen .

-in here water sink is keep away of gas

--fridge is placed in south west corner of kitchen .

4.mastwr bedroom --

it is position in our home is south -west and south and west south west direction in our home .

if we provided our master bedroom in SW than this is good for health and prosperity .

Avoid placing mirror or TV. in front of bed .

5.Guest bed room --

- North west is best direction for guest room.

6. Study room-

-place study table in north and east or north -east or west direction.

-table should be squre and reactangular shape .

-7. Toilets--

-- west - North -West direction is best and also south-west -south direction.

8. Staircase --South west is best.

9.center of house should be empty as it is considered most powerful and holiest place.

this is a first floor same as a ground floor [according to vaastu shastra G+1 plan ]

B.] name of structural drawing requried to site for construction .---

1. center line drawing .

2.footing and column lay out with reinforcement details .

3.column schedule with reinforcement .

4.plinth beam layout with reinforcement details .

5.first floor beam layout with reinforcement details .

6.frist floor slab layout with reinforcement details.

7.lift pit and head room reinforcement details .

c . Calculation of individual loads ----

-wall thickness is taken = 230 mm

-floor to floor height = 3 m.

-individual load is acting on a member is dead load of member .

- it is self weight or permament load acting on a structure thourgh out the life span .

Dead load is calculate IS 875 part 1

- DEAD LOAD = QUANTITY OF EACH MATERIAL WITH THE UNIT WEIGHT OF THIS MATERIAL .

1. COLUMN - assume size of column= 230 mm x 230mm

and height is = 6m.

total volume of concerete =0.23 *.23 * 6 =0.3174 m^3

Dead load of column =volume of concerete x unit weight of RCC

=0.3174 * 25 =7. 935 kN

2. Beam ---

Assuming size of beam = 230mm x450 mm

unit weight of concerete = 25 KN/M^3

dead load of beam = [.23 m x .45 m] x 25

=2.587 KN/M

------LINTEL BEAM assuming size = 230 mm x 150 mm

DEAD LOAD = .230 m x .150 m x 25 KN/M^3

=0.8625 kN/m

3 . Slab ---

- assuming slab thickness = 125 mm

Dead load of slab = 0.125 * 25 = 3.125 kN/m^2

4.WAll -- assume height is 3 m ,for 1 sorey , and thickness is 230 mm.

unit weight of brick = 20 KN/M^3

dead load of wall = 3m *.230 m* 20 kn/m^3

=13 .8 kn/m

-----Parapet wall = assume height 750mm ,and thickness is 230mm

so dead load of parapet wall = 0.75 x0.23 x 20 = 3.45 kn/m

5. STair case -

assume thread = 300mm , riser =150mm , and Waist slab thickness =150mm

unit weight of concerete = 25 kn/m^3

-- waist slab act as a one way slab

-- Dead load of waist slab = 0.15 *25* `[riser^2+tread^2]^(1/2)`/ tread

= 0.15 x 25 x [0.15 ^2 +0.3^2 ]^ (1/2) /0.3

=4.185 Kn/m^@

---Dead load of steps = 1/2 *riser thickness *unit weight of concerete

=1/2 * 0.15 *25

=1.875 kN/m^2

---Dead load of landing slab , assuming thickness = 125 mm .

unit weight of concerete =25 kn/m^3

so dead load of landing slab = 0.125 * 25 = 3.125 kN/m^2

RESULT -- FIND INDIVIDUAL LOAD FOR CORRESPONDING MEMBERS --

1. column = 7.94 kn

2.a beam =2.587 kN/m

b. lintel beam =0.8625 kN /m

3 . Slab - 3.125 kN/m^2

4. a wall =13 .8 kn/m

b. parapet wall =3.45 kn /m

5. staircase --a. waist slab =4.185 kn/m^2

b. steps =1.875 kn/m^2

c.Landing slab = 3.125 kn/m^2
