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

AIM:To sketch a G+1 floor residential plan, according to Vaastu Shastra, and list down the names of the structural drawings.

Procedure:

Vastu Shastra principle:-

• The main door is faced towards the east or North which gives archway to victory and progress in life".
• The living room is placed in the North-East direction gives positive energy.
• The kitchen room is placed in South-East direction gives attain better health and improve motivation
• The master bedroom is placed in the South-West direction brings good health and prosperity for the home owner
• The Guest bedroom is placed in the North-West direction brings convinienece and comfrot for the guest
• The Terrace garden placed in the South gives fortunes and adds great fortune for the finanacial stability of the owner and the tenants of the house

East-Facing G+1 Home plan as per vastu shastra

• The main door is in North-East
• In the ground floor , the kitchen is in the South-East direction
• The hall is available in North-East direction
• The Master bedroom is available in South-West direction with attached toilet
• In first floor the bedroom is available in Soth-West direction
• Staicase is available in the South-East direction outside the house
• Road is available in the east direction

The list of structural drawing to be provided to the following plan are:-

• Centreline drawing
• Footing and column layout with reinforcement details
• Column schedule with reinforcement details
• Plinth beam layout with reinforcement details
• Firstfloor beam layout with reinforcement details
• First-floor slab with reinforcement details
• Headroom reinforcement details with lift fit (if any)

Assumed dimension of Structural members:-

Column = 350mm X 350mm

Beam = 200mm X 400mm

Thickness of slab= 150mm

Wall height = 3m = 3000mm

Thickness of external wall= 230mm

Thickness of internal wall= 150mm

Riser (R) = 300mm

Thread (T) = 150mm

Dead load calculation

Unit of RCC = 25KN/m^3

Unit weight of Brickwork=20KN/m^3

• Self weight of column= 0.35 x 0.35 x 3 x 25 =9.2 KN
• Self weight of Beam = 0.2 x 0.4 x 25 = 2 KN/m
• Self weight of slab = 0.15 x 25 = 3.75 KN/m^2
• Self weight of external wall = 0.23 x 3 x 20 =13.8 KN/m
• Self weight of internal wall = 0.15 x 3 x 20 =9.0 KN/m
• Self weight of ceiling = 0.25 KN/m^2 (as per IS 875 PART 1)
• Self weight of roofing = 0.83 KN/m^2 (as per IS 875 PART 1)

Floor finish = 1 KN/m^2

• Self weight of staircase

Inclined length = `Sqaure root' (150^2+300^2)=335 mm

Self weight of waist slab = 25 X 0.250 X 335.4/300 = 6.97 KN/m

Self weight of steps = 0.5 x (0.15+0)/2 X 25 = 1.88 KN/m

Self weight of landing slab = 0.2 X 25 = 5 KN/m^2

Live load: as per IS 875 PART II

Kitchen = 2KN/m^2

Living room = 2KN/m^2

Toilet and bathroom = 2KN/m^2

Staircase = 3KN/m^2

Store room = 3KN/m^2

Balconies = 2 KN/m^2

Bedroom = 2KN/m^2

Wind load:-

Wind load shall be calculated for building exceeding 10m height. Here the building height is 7m and hence no wind load shall be calculated.

Result:

The residential building has been designed as per vastu shastra and the loads on the buliding have been calculated.

Reference and IS Codes used for the design:-

IS 875:1987, part I for dead load

IS 875:1987, part II for Live load

IS 875:1987, part III for Wind load

IS 456:2000, for reinforced concrete
