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

Aim of the project :-

To sketch a G+1 floor residential plan according to vastu Shastra and to list down the names of the structural drawing required to be provided to site for construction.

To assume the size of structural elements (column,beam, slab etc) and to calculate the load from the members as per IS code.

Vastu Shastra followed during planning :

Entrance of the house is provided in the east direction which is the symbol of progress in life

Living room is placed in the north east direction

Master bedroom is placed in the Southwest pollution this direction being good health and prosperity

Kitchen is placed in the south east direction

Study room is placed in the east direction

Staircase is placed at Northwest corner

Bathroom, WC and toilet is placed in the West direction

Dimension of ground floor plan:

• Build-up area:11.65x9.45
• Living room:3.60X4.85
• Kitchen :3.60X3
• Dining room:3X3
• Master bedroom:4.3X3
• Bedroom:3X4.85
• Bath:2.4x1.2
• Bathroom:3.25x1.2
• W.C:1.2x1

FIRST FLOOR PLAN:

Dimensions in meter

Dimension of first floor plan:

• Guest room- 4.3m X 3m
• Study room- 3m X 3m
• Bedroom- 3m X 4.85m
• Puja room- 3.60m X 4.85m
• Bathroom- 3.25m X 1.2m
• Bath- 2.4m X 1.2m
• WC- 1.2m X 1m

Other dimensions:

• Thickness of internal wall: 0.15m
• Thickness of external wall-:0.23m
• Thickness of slab-:0.25m
• Dimensions of column : 0.3m X 0.3m
• Dimensions of beam:0.3m X 0.45m
• Height of the wall of each floor:3m

CALCULATION OF LOADS:

DEAD LOAD CALCULATIONS:

• 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.

• 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

• Dead load of slab:

Slab is always designed for the span of 1m.

Hence assume size of 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.

• Dead load of wall:

• Dead load of external wall:

1. Thickness of External wall = 0.23m.
2. Unit weight of brick wall= 20KN/m3
3. Unit Weight of Building Materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (Part-1)
4. Height of wall = 3m.
5. Load of wall on beam= 3 X 0.23 X 20= 13.8KN.

• Dead load of internal wall

1. Thickness of Internal wall = 0.15m.
2. Unit weight of brick wall= 20KN/m3
3. Unit Weight of Building Materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (Part-1)
4. Height of wall = 3m.
5. Load of wall on beam= 3 X 0.15 X 20= 9KN.

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

WIND LOAD CALCULATIONS:

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

Results:

• This G+1residential plan is prepaired by the Vaastu shastra concept considering all the principles and considerations of Vaastu shastra
• The load calculations are done as per the IS code considerations.
