• Vastu shastra:

• The house's entrance is located in the east, which represents development in life.

• The living area is oriented toward the northeast.

• The master bedroom is positioned in the southwest because it promotes prosperity and excellent health.

• The kitchen is positioned to the southeast.

• The study room is oriented eastward.

• Located in the northwest corner is the staircase.

  Toilets, WCs, and bathrooms are all positioned to the west.

Calculation of loads-

(A). Dead load Calculations

1. Dead load of columns-

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

Height of column= (Slab thickness X 2) + (Height of wall for each floor X 2)

= (0.25 X 2) + (3 X 2) = 6.5m

Total volume of concrete = 0.3 X 0.3 X 6.5 = 0.585m3.

Unit weight of RCC= 25KN/m3.

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

Dead load of column= 25 X 0.585=14.62KN.

2. Dead load of beams:

Dimension of beam= 0.3m X 0.45m (300mm X 450mm)

Total volume of concrete = 0.3 X 0.45 X 1 = 0.135m3.

Unit weight of RCC= 25KN/m3.

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

Dead load of beam= 25 X 0.135=3.375KN

3. Dead load of slab

The slab is always designed for a span of 1m.

Hence assume the size of the slab as 1m X 1m.

Thickness of slab= 0.25m

Density of RCC= 25KN/m3.

Self-weight of slab= 1 X 1 X 0.25 X 25= 6.25KN.

4. Dead load of walls

A dead load of external wall

The thickness of the 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 on beam= 3 X 0.23 X 20= 13.8KN.

A dead load of internal wall

The 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 on beam= 3 X 0.15 X 20= 9KN.

(B). Live load calculations-

(According to IS 875 Part 2)

Bed room= 2KN/m²

Living room= 2KN/m²

Bath=2KN/m²

Terrace = 3KN/m²

Toilet= 2KN/m²

Staircase= 3KN/m²

Study room= 2KN/m²

Kitchen= 2KN/m²

(C). Wind load calculation-

Wind load is designed only when the height of the building exceeds 10m.

The height of the designed building is 6.5m which is less than 10m.

So, the calculation of wind load is not required.

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.

RESULT:

The plan is created using the Vaastu Shastra idea while taking into account all of its guidelines and requirements.

The load calculations are carried out taking into account the IS code.
