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

Q.

Answer- Structural drawing which is mandatory at site is –

  1. Center line drawing
  2. Footing and column layout with reinforcement details drawing
  3. Column schedule with the reinforcement detail
  4. Plinth beam layout with reinforcement detail drawing
  5. First floor beam layout with reinforcement detail drawing
  6. First floor slab layout with reinforcement detail drawing
  7. Lift pit and headroom reinforcement detail drawing

For industrial building we can add some other drawings like-

  1. Grade slab drawing
  2. For machinery, machine pedestal drawing

Q.

Answer- Individual load (dead load) of structural member-

Column-

Size of column – 300mm * 300mm

Height of column – 4m

So individual load of column = 25*0.300*0.300*4 = 9 KN

Beam –

Size of beam – 230mm*250mm

Length of beam – 4.5m

So individual load of column – 25*0.230*0.250*4.5 = 6.46 KN

Slab –

Size of slab – 3.5m*4m

Thickness of slab =125mm

So individual load of slab = 25*3.5*4*0.125 = 43.75 KN

Where – unit weight of reinforced cement concrete – 25 KN/m3
