Calculation of loads-

(A). Dead load Calculations

Unit Weight of Building Materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (Part-1)

Unit weight of RCC= 25KN/m3.

1. Dead load of columns-

Dimension of column= 0.3m X 0.3m (300mm X 300mm)

Height of column/Floor = Wall height+max beam height-slab thickness = 3.0+1.0-.15 = 3.85 m

No. of Columns/Floor = 19 Columns

Volume of a column= 0.3 x 0.3 x 3.85 = 0.3465 m^3

Self weight of all Columns = Vol. of a Column x No. of columns/Floor x No. of Floors x Unit weight of RCC

Self weight of all Columns = 0.3465 x 19 x 2 x 25 = 329.175 KN

2. Dead load of beams-

Pattern	No.	B	h	L	Volume (m^3)	RCC unit weight	Self Weight KN
B1	1	0.3	1	8.6	2.58	25	64.5
B2	2	0.3	0.45	4.1	1.107	25	27.675
B2	1	0.3	0.45	4.2	0.567	25	14.175
B2	1	0.3	0.45	4.2	0.567	25	14.175
B2	6	0.3	0.45	2.9	2.349	25	58.725
B2	4	0.3	0.45	2.3	1.242	25	31.05
B2	2	0.3	0.45	1.7	0.459	25	11.475
B2	1	0.3	0.45	1.9	0.2565	25	6.4125
B2	1	0.3	0.45	2	0.27	25	6.75
B2	1	0.3	0.45	3.8	0.513	25	12.825
B2	1	0.3	0.45	3.6	0.486	25	12.15
B3	3	0.3	0.6	5.5	2.97	25	74.25
B3	1	0.3	0.6	1.9	0.342	25	8.55
B3	1	0.3	0.6	6	1.08	25	27
B3	1	0.3	0.6	3.5	0.63	25	15.75
B3	1	0.3	0.6	4.1	0.738	25	18.45
B3	1	0.3	0.6	2.8	0.504	25	12.6
B3	1	0.3	0.6	3.5	0.63	25	15.75
B3	1	0.3	0.6	2.9	0.522	25	13.05
Total					17.8125		445.3125

DL of beams/ Floor = 445.3125 KN

Total DL of beams = 445.3125 x 2 = 890. 625 KN.

3. Dead load of slab-

Density of RCC= 25KN/m3.

Area of Slab = 9 * 18 = 161 m^2

Self-weight of slab/Floor= 161 X 0.15 X 25= 603.75 KN.

Total Self-weight of slab = 603.75 x 2 = 1,207.5 KN.

4. Dead load of walls

-Dead load of external wall

Thickness of External wall = 0.23m. (230mm)

Unit weight of brick wall= 20KN/m3

Unit Weight of Building Materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (Part-1)

Height of wall = 3m.

Load of wall/m'= 3 X 0.23 X 20= 13.8KN/m'.

-Dead load of internal wall

Thickness of Internal wall = 0.15m. (150mm)

Unit weight of brick wall= 20KN/m3

Unit Weight of Building Materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (Part-1)

Height of wall = 3m.

Load of wall/m'= 3 X 0.15 X 20= 9KN/m'.

(B). Live load calculations-

(According to IS 875 Part 2)

Bed room= 2KN/m²

Living room= 2KN/m²

Terrace = 3KN/m²

Toilet= 2KN/m²

Staircase= 3KN/m²

Study room= 2KN/m²

Kitchen= 2KN/m²

(C). Wind load calculation-

Consider my structure is in the green area

Vb= 47 m/s

K1 = 0.71 , K2 = 1, K3 = 1.1 , K4 = 1

Vz= Vb * k1 * k2* K3 * K4= 47 * 0.71 * 1* 1.1*1= 36.71 m/s

Pz=0.6 Vz^2 = 0.6 * 36.71 ^2 = 825.85 N/m^2

References and IS codes used for the design-

IS 875:1987, Part 1 for Dead load

IS 875:1987, Part 2 for Live load

IS 875:1987, Part 3 for Wind load

IS 456:2000, for Reinforced Concrete.

Results-

-The plan is prepared by the Vaastu shastra concept considering all the principles and considerations of Vaastu shastra

- Structural dimensions had been assumed.

-The load calculations are done as per the IS code considerations.
