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

SKETCH OF G+1 FLOOR RESIDENTIAL PLAN , TO VAASTU SHASTRA

AIM OF THE PROJECT :-

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

To assume the size of structural elements [column , beam , slab ,etc ] and to calculate the loads from the members as per IS code

Dimensions of ground floor plan

Living room – 3.60m x 5.85m

Kitchen room – 3.60m x 3m

Dining room – 3m x 3m

Master bed room – 4.3m x 3m

Bed room – 3m x 4.5m

Toilet – 3.25m x 1.2m

Bathroom – 2.4m x 1.2m

WC – 1.2m x 1m

Dimensions of first floor

Guest room – 4.3m x 3m

Study room – 3m x 3m

Bed room – 3m x 4.5m

Toilet – 3.25m x 1.2m

Bath room – 2.4m x 1.2m

WC – 1.2m x 1m

Other dimensions

• Thickness of internal wall – 0.15m(150mm)
• Thickness of external wall – 0.23m(230mm)
• Thickness of slab – 0.25m(250mm)
• Dimensions of column – 0.3m x 0.3m
• Dimensions of beam – 0.3m x 0.45m
• Height of the wall of each floor – 3m

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 id placed in south east direction
• Study room is placed in the east direction
• Stair case is placed at north-west corner
• Bathroom ,wc and toilet is placed in west direction

CALCULATION OF LOADS :-

A ) DEAD LOAD CALCULATIONS :-

1. Dead load of columns :-

Dimensions of column – 0.3m x 0.3m ( 300mm x 300mm)

Height of column = [slab thickness x 2 ] + [height of wall 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 concrete = 25 KN/m³[it taken as per IS 875 (part-1)]

Dead load of column = 25 x 0.585 = 14.56 KN

2 .Dead load of beams :-

Dimensions 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 [ taken from IS 875 (part-1)]

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 = 20KN.m³

Height of the wall = 3m

Load of wall on beams = 3 x 0.23 x 20 = 13.8KN

Dead load of internal wall

Thickness of internal wall = 0.15m (150mm)

Unit weight of brick wall = 20KN/m³

Height of wall = 3m

Loads of wall on beam = 3 x 0.15 x 20 = 9KN

B ) LIVE LOAD CLACULATIONS :-

(according to IS875 part-2)

Bed room – 2KN/m³

Living room – 2KNm³

Bathroom – 2KN/m³

Terrace – 3KN/m³

Toilet – 2KN/m³

Stair case – 3KN/m³

Study room- 2KN/m³

Kitchen – 2KN/m³

C) 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 .

RESULTS :-

• The plan prepared by the vastu shastra concept considering all the principles and considered of vastu shastra
• The load calculations are done as per the IS code considerations
