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

Plan the ground floor is below according to the Vaastu Shastra.

Plan of the 1st storey is below:

The details of the beams, columns and slab is shown in the figure below and the loads are calculated as such:

Considering there are 16 colums of 300*300mm each

And there are 24 beams of length as below

B1=3.5m - 12no.s

B2=3m - 4 no.s

B3=4m - 4 no.s

B4=2.5m - 4 no.s, each of size 300*450 mm2

1. Dead Load of the columns:

Size of the column=.3*.3 m2

height fo the column=4m

unit weight of the RCC=25KN/m^3

Therefore dead load of the column= .3*.3*4*25=9 KN

Total dead load from the columns= 9*16= 144 KN

Since it is G+1 floor, the load can be considered as double i.e =144*2= 288KN

2. Dead load from the beams,

B1=.3*.45*4*25=11.81kN

total B1 beams load= 11.81*12=141KN

B2=.3*.45*3*25=10.125 KN

total B2 beams load 10.125*4 =40.5 kN

B3=4m* 0.3*0.45*25=13.5KN

total B3 beams load= 13.5 * 4= 54KN

B4=2.5m* 0.3*0.45*25=8.43KN

total B4 beam load= 8.43*4= 33.72 KN

Therefore total dead load from the beams=269.22 KN

Since it is G+1 floor, the loadd can be considered as double i.e = 269.22*2=538.44KN

Now Dead load of the slab:

considering the slab thickness =.125m

Slab Dimension=10*10 m2

Total dead load from the slab=10*10*.125*25=312.5 KN

Since it is G+1 floor, the loadd can be considered as double i.e =312.5*2= 625KN

Live load of the floor =2KN/m^2 ( considering the structure as house building)

Area of the floor=200m2 (combining all the floor G+1 areas)

Therefore LL of the floor=2*200=400 KN

Since the height of the building is 8m, therefore wind load is not considered.
