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

A)

Vastu Shastra followed during planning Is;

• Entrance Of the house is provided in the east direction which is the symbol of progress in life.
• Living room is placed in north east direction.
• Master bedroom is placed in south west position this direction brings good health and prosperity.
• Kitchen is placed in south east direction.
• Study room is placed in east direction.
• Staircase is placed at Northwest corner.
• Bathroom, WC and toilet is placed in West direction.

Calculation of loads-

(A). Dead load Calculations ;

1.Dead load of columns-

Dimension of column= 0.3m X 0.3m(300mmX300mm)

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 X6.5 = 0.585m3.

Unit weight of RCC= 25kN/m3.

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

Dead load of column- 25 X0.585=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.

Dead load of beam= 25 X 0.135=3.375KN

3. 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.

4. Dead load of walls

-Dead load of external wall

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

unit weight of brick wall= 201<N/m3 Unit Weight of Building Materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (Part-I) Height of wall = 3m.

Load of wall on beam- 3 X 0.23 X20=13.8 KN.

-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-I)

Height of wall = 3m.

Load of wall on beam= 3 X 0.15 X 20= 9 KN.

(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= 31<N/m2

Study room= 2KN/m ²

Kitchen= 2KN/m2

(C). Wind load calculation-

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.

the same plan and load calculation is done for the first floor
