column - 4000mm x 400mm

beam - 350mm x 500mm

slab tk- 150mm

ht of wall-4.5m

self weight of column,

14 nos x 0.4 x 0.4x5m (total ht of column)=11.2 m3

weight of concrete = 11.2 x 2500 = 28000kg

= 28000x 0.0098 = 274.4kn

load per column = 274.4/14 = 19.6kn

Beam:

1) volume of concrete = 0.35x 0.5x1m =0.175m3

2)weight of concrete = 0.175 x 2500 = 437.5kg/m

= 437.5 x 0.0098

dead load = 4.28kn/m

slab:

dead load

(6.74x6.05)+(5.32)(storeroom)+(8.4)(portigo)=54.49sqm

= 54.49 x 0.15 =8.17m3

weight of concrete = 8.17x 2500 = 20,425kg

=20,425 x 0.0098

= 200.165 kn

live load

self weight of slab is 3kn/m for residential house

liveload is 2kn/m and the floor finishes is 1kn/m then 3 kn/m

and wind load is 2kn/m as per IS875:2015 part iii

then the total live load is 8 kn/m

self weight of the wall

4.5m ht X 0.23 X 20KN/m = 20.7kn/m
