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

PROJECT NAME: G+1 RESIDENTAL BUILDING

Aim:

sketching the G+1 floor residential plan satisfing the vaastu shastra and calulating the load acting on the building with giving the information of the required drawings.

Answer:

Ground floor

First floor

• 
  
  
• Opening is provided above the ground level for the aesthetic look
• All doors are inwards
• Main door is facing the north direction
• Toilets are not placed near the kitchen
• Dining area is near to kitchen far from main door
• Bedrooms are placed in southwest and south east where north east is avoided
• All rooms are rectangle in shape
• Centre house is kept empty
• Kitchen is placed in south east direction
• Toilet is in north west
• Livingroom is in north west
• No overhanging beams are allowed to rooms
• Pooja room is placed at east

Required drawings

• centre line drawing
• footing and column layout with reinforcement details
• column schedule with reinforcement details
• plinth beam layout with reinforcement details
• first floor beam layout with reinforcement details
• first floor slab layout with reinforcement details
• lift pit and headroom reinforcement details

Load calculations:

Specify the assumed size of the rooms.
- All columns are 300mm x 300mm
- All beams are 300mm x 450mm
- Slab thickness if 125mm
- The height of the wall is 3m

Dead loads

Column:
the height of the column as 3 m
Dead load of the column of size 0.3*0.3*3
Total volume of the column
= 0.3*0.3*3
= 0.27 m^3
Unit weight of concrete = 25KN/m^3
Dead load of column= unit weight of concrete * volume of concrete
= 25 KN/m^3 * 0.27m^3
= 6.75 KN

Beams:
Total C/S area of the BEAM
= 0.3*0.45
= 0.135m^2
Unit weight of concrete = 25KN/m^3
Dead load of column= unit weight of concrete * area of concrete
= 25 KN/m^3 * 0.135m^2
= 3.375 KN/m

Slabs:
Dead load of a slab of 125mm thickness
Unit weight of concrete = 25KN/m^3
self-weight of the slab
= unit weight of concrete * thickness of concrete
= 25 KN/m^3 * 0.125m
= 3.125 KN/m^2

walls:
Height of wall 3m
Dead load of a wall of 300mm thickness
Unit weight of brick wall = 20KN/m^3
self-weight of the wall
= unit weight of brick wall * thickness of wall*height of wall
= 20 KN/m^3 * 0.3m * 3m
= 18 KN/m

Live loads According to the IS875 (part2) table 1
For the residential buildings use the live load of the UDL 2KN/m^2
For this rooms and bathrooms and no balconies are present in the building.
And near staircase provide the live load on UDL 3KN/m^2
Here since it is the house the live load of the 2KN/m^2 is adopted on the slabs from IS 875-part 2 Table 1

Wind load calculations

since, height of the building is less than 10 m wind load calulation is not implemented on the building

where total height of building is 3m+3m = 6m.
