Aim:-

Ans: Vaastu Shastra:-

1. Vastu shastra is the ancient indian scince of architecture and acts as a guideline to design your home in the way that inhances positive energy

2.Our nature is abundant with power houses of energy sources like the sun, wind, moon ,water, earth, and fire

3.Effect of sunrays flow of winds pull of earth's magnetic field and othe auch casmic energies

4. A good home need to radiated the right kind of energy

5.Apersion dwelling in a house comes under the influence of a specific energy field which comes under the influence of specific energy field

6.Architectural change are not possible fore a reading to move in house

Gateway (Entrance) of the house

1. Main entrance is not only the entry point for the family but also for energy

2.Main door should be stronger and biggerr than other door in the house and made of superior qualitywood preferable take wood

3.Main door should be not be drark because good energy is associated with bright and cheery places

4. Garbage bag unwanted things and shoes Should be kept away from the main door

5. Main door should be constructed in a way to ensurew that when tou step out tou face the north -East or in the north -east direction

6.Avoid painting the main door black and placing of animal atatues near by the door

3.Heavy furniture should be kept in the west or south -West direction of the living room

4.Electronic appliances should be installed in the south-east section of the living room

5.If planning for the mirror in this room ensure tou place in the north wall

Living room -

2.Don't place the table facing a blank wall or window

3.placiong the table in the north -east or west direction is ideal

4. Hanging book shelives are best avoided

Courtyard:-

1.Brahmasthan ia a unique feature of acient architecture based an vastu shastra

2.It is the center of your residence and the holiest and most power full zone

3.A traditional home in kerala the courtyard is always at the center of the house

4. These part should be perfect and clutter -free

5.The placement of kitchen bothroom or pillar/beam attracts negative energy

Also, assume the sizes of the structural elements (Column, Beam, Slab, etc.,) and accordingly calculate the individual corresponding loads from the members as per IS code.

Aim:-

Column:-

1.Column is a vertical element is a structure that supports the beam and slab

2.It transmit the load from beams and slab to the floor or foundation

3.Column is a compression member

4.All colume are conected to footing at the bottom point

5.In worst case if the column is rested in a beam than its called a floating column

6.Column to designed to resist lateral forces

7. the effecting length excceds three times the lateral dimension

8. column have to be coneeccted to each other by beams for smooth tranfer of load

Types of column:-

1.Based on shape

2.Circular column

3.square column

4.Rectangular column

Layout of column :-

Column are marked as pre the provided architecture drawing by laying rop along the gride positions or by using surveying instuments in the identified location

Checklist for column reinforcement :-

1.Rebars need to be checked for any losse scale rust mud or oil

2.Rebars and ring of column should be cut as per required length

3.Stirrups needs to be cut in length as extra length may result in large size of stirrup and loss cover to concrete

4. Concrete cover of 40mm needs top be provided using cover blocks in the inner face of the rebars and suttering

5.Main vertical bars reinforcement of column needs to be extended at least 300mm when reated on footing

6.Main of 4 bars shall be provided in square/rectangular column and 6 bars in a circular column

Assume the following

column size =400mm*400mm= 0.4m*0.4m =0.16 m^2

Total volume of concrete = 0.4m* 0.4m* 3m =0.48m^3

Unit weight of concrete = 25KN/m^3

Dead load of column = 25*0.48 =12KN

= result = 12KN

Assume the following

Calculate the wall load for a height 4m

Height of the wall =4m

thikckness of the wall = 230mm

Unit weight of the brick wall = 20kN/m^3

Dead load of wall =20*4*0.23 =18.4KN/m

Result =18.4KN/m

2. Beams:-

1.Beam is a horizental structure member that transfer the load to the column /wall which in turn gerts transferred to the Foundattion

2. Beam provides resistance to bending when loads are applied on it

3. Beam is a long slender member having relatively longer span than depth

4.Beam are designed the to carry the bending moment and shear force of the building

5. Beam can be of wood steel aluminium etc most commonly used material for beam is RCC (Renforced cement concrete )

6. Beam can be of different shapes rectangurar , square , T- beam , H - Beam etc,

Where a = 300-40-40-4-4= 212mm

b=250-40-40-4-4 =162mm

Ans:- Slabs:-

1.Slab is a stuctural element constructed to create a flate surfece such as floors Roofs and ceilings

2.Slab is a two diamensinal structureal component of building having a very small thoickness Compared to its other two diamensions

3.Slab are supported by beams column wall or by ground

4. It's primary function is to transfar the load by bending in one or two dimensions

5.Reinforced concrete slab are used in roofs ,floor,ceilings and as decks of bridge

6.Slab may be mounted on either steel or monolithic concrete beams walls or directly over the column

-Function of slab :_-

1.To provide a flat surface

2.To support the load

3.To act as sound heat and fire insulator

4.the upper slab becomes the ceiling for the story below

5.spacing between the slab and ceiling is used for placing building utilities

-Effective span of RCC slab:_-

1.Effective span of slab should be lesser of the two

1.L=Clear span +d(effective depth of slab)

2.L=c/c distance between the support

Minimum thickness of RCC Slab:-

1.Simply supported slab spanning in one direction L/30

2.Simply supported slab spanning in two direction (Two-way slab) L/35

3.Continuous slab spanning in two direction L/40

4. Cantilever slab L/12

Reinforcement in RCC slab :-

1.The diameter of reinforcement bar commonly used are 8mm,10mm,12mm,and 16mm

2.As per Is 456:2000 the maximum diameter of bar used in slab should not be more than 1/8thof the slab (D/8)

3.Maximum spacing of the bar should be 3times effective depth or 300mm whichever is less

4.maximum spacing of distributor bar should be 5 times the effective depth or 450mm whichever is less

2. Differentiate between a One-way slab and a Two-way slab?

1.one-way slab:-

1.Slab supported on beam on the two opposite sides to carry the load along one direction only is called one -way slab

2.If the ratio of large span to shorter span (L/b>2) If the considered as one-way slab

3.this slab tends to bend in one direction i.e in the direction along its shorter span

4.Due to the difference in lengths the load is transferred to the shorters beam

5.main reinforcement is provided in shorter span and distribution reinforcement in the longer span

6. All contilever slabs are one-way slab example Verandah and balcanies

One-way slab reinforcement details:-

Example:-

1.Here Lx/Ly=8/3=2.67>2, one -way slab is adopted

2.Main bar are provided on the shorter side of the slab due to bending

3.distributor bars (Straingth bar ) Are provided on the longer side

2.Two-way slab:-

1.Slab supported by beam on all the four sides and the loads are carried by the supports along both the direction is called as two-way slab

2.The ratio of longer span to shorter span is less than two (L/b<2)

3.The slab tends to bend along both the spans

4.The loads are transferred in both the directions to the four supporting edges and hence reinforcement is provided in both direction

5. those types of slabs are used in constructing floors of a muilti-storage building

Two-way slab reinforcemennt details

Example :-

Hence Lx/Ly=5/5=1<2 two -Way slab is adopted main bar are provided on both sides of the sla

Difference between one-way slab and two-way slab:-

S.no	one-way slab	Two-way slab
1.	Slab are supported by beam on the tewo opposite side	Slab are supported by beam on all the four sides
2.	Main reinforcement is provided on shotore span due to bending	Main renforcement in provided on both sides as brending occurs on both sides
3.	Loads are carried along one direction	Loads are carried along Both directions
