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

Aim: - A G+1 floor residential plan, according to Vaastu Shastra.

Introduction: -

• Vaastu shastra is the ancient Indian science of architecture and act as a guideline to design your home in the way that enhance positive energy.
• AutoCAD is used to design the G + 1 structure for the project.

Procedure: -

• by using the AutoCAD to design the G+1 floor plan

• by following the Vaastu shastra requirement to design the G+1 floor plan

  • Kichen: - south-east is best / north-east to be avoided
  • Staircase: - south-west is the best / north-east to be avoided
  • Toilet: - north-west is the best / north-east to be avoided
  • Master bedroom: - south-west is the best
  • Guest room: - north-west is the best
  • Living room: -north-west is the best
  • Overhead tanks: -west is the best
  • Underground tanks: -north-east is the best / south-west to be avoided

Result: - Completed design of G+1 floor plan in AutoCAD layout.

Report: - Plotted design is completed

As per IS code 875 (Part-1)/(Part-2): 1987 for column, beam and slab loads

All columns are 300mm x 300mm
All beams are 300mm x 450mm
Slab thickness of 125mm
The height of the wall is 4.5m

a. dead load of column is,

total volume of concrete = 0.3*0.3*4.5 = 0.405m^3

unit weight of concrete = 25kN/m^3

dead load of column = 25*0.405 = 10.125kN

height of the wall = 4.5m

thickness of the wall 125mm = 0.125m

unit weight of brick wall = 20KN/m^3

dead load of wall = 0.125*4.5*20 =11.25KN/m

dead load of beam is,

total volume of concrete = 0.3*0.45 = 0.135m^2

unit weight of concrete = 25kN/m^3

dead load of column = 25*0.135 = 3.375kN/m

dead load of slab is,

Slab thickness of 125mm

unit weight of concrete = 25kn/m^3

dead load of slab = 25*0.125 = 3.125kn/m^2

b. live load of the building,

1. dwelling house

Classification	Uniformly distributed load	Concentrated load
All rooms and kitchens	2.0	1.8
toilet and bathroom	2.0	-
corridor, passages, Staires includes the escapes	3.0	4.5
Balconies	3.0	1.5 per meter concentrated at the outer edge

c. wind load of the building

The wind load is not required to calculate because the building height is less than 10m which is 4.5m height of the wall.
