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

Sketch the G+1 residential building plan :

Dimension of ground floor plan ;

Porch 7’8” x 6’4”

Hall 10’4” x 14’4”

Bedroom 9’10” x 13’6”

Kitchen 8’0” x 9’0”

Open area 8’0” x 4’4”

Dimension of first floor ;

Balcony 7’8” x 6’4”

Hall 10’4” x 14’4”

Bedroom 18’4” x 9’0”

Toilet 9’10” x 4’0”

Other dimensions :

Thickness of external/internal wall - 230mm

Thickness of slab-250mm

Dimension of column- 0.3 x 0.3m

Dimension of beam-0.3 x0.45m

Height of the wall of ground floor-4m

Height of the wall of first floor-3.5m

Calculations of loads:

1. Dead load calculations :
2. Dead load of columns

• Dimension of column = 0.3mx0.3m
• Height of column=slab thickness x 2+height of wall for ground floor+height of wall for first floor=0.25X2+4+3.5=8m
• Total volume of one column=0.3x0.3x8=0.72m³
• Unit weight of RCC=25KN/M³
• Dead load of one column=volume of column x unit weight of RCC=0.72x25=18KN

1. Dead load of beams

• Dimension of beam=0.3m x 0.45m
• Total volume of beam per meter length=0.3 x 0.45x1=0.135m³
• Unit weight of RCC= 25kn/m³
• Dead load of beam per unit meter length =25x0.135=3.375kn

1. dead load of slab

• Dead load of slab per sq.m span area=0.25x25=6.25kn

1. Dead load of walls

• Height of ground floor wall=4m
• Dead load of ground floor wall per unit meter length=volume of wall per meter length x unit weight of brick masonr4x0.23x1x20-18.4kn
• Height of first floor=3.5m
• Dead load of first floor=3.5x0.23x1x20=16.1kn
• Total weight of both floor walls=18.4+16.1=34.5kn

2. Love load calculations :

As per IS-875 oart-2, for residential building live loads are taken as:

Kitchen -2kn/m²

Wash room -2kn/m²

Toilet -2kn/m²

Bedroom - 2kn/m²

Staircase -3kn/m²

3. Wind load calculations :

• If the height of the building is more then 10 meters then building need to be designed for wind load.
• But, in this case height of the building is 8meters thus, wind load need not to be considered.

Results : the plan of G+1 floor residential building is prepared with consideration of concept vaastu shastra.
