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

Aim : To construct a G+1 residential plan according to Vaastu Shastra and finding the dead and live load of the building.

Procedure:

Ground Floor:

• It consists of 1 living room,1 bedroom, 1 bathroom,1dinning room and kitchen
• The entrance should be provided in North direction
• The living room is always next to the entrance
• Storage room is provided in North West direction.
• Bed room is provided in South West direction.
• Staircase is provided in north west direction.

First Floor:

• Kitchen is provided in South East direction.
• At first floor there is one hall
• There are 2 bed rooms provided South west direction and attached toilets to the bed room.

Important structural drawings for a project:

• Centre line drawing
• Footing and column layout with reinforcement details
• Column schedule with reinforcement details
• Plinth beam layout with reinforcement details
• First flooe beam layout with reinforcement details
• First floor slab layout with reinforcement detaild
• Lift pit and headroom reinforcement

Load calculation :

Assumptions:

Column = 300mm x 300mm

Beams = 300mm x 450mm

The height of wall = 4.5m

Slab thickness = 125mm

Dead load(IS 875 part 1)

Self weight of Column = 0.3 x 0.3 x 4.5 x 25 = 10.125 KN

Self weight of Beam = 0.3 x 0.45 x 25 = 3.45 KN/m

Self weight of slab = 0.125 x 25 = 3.125 kN/m^2

Self weight of wall = 0.23 x 4.5 x 20 = 25.87 kN/m

Live load(IS 875 part 2):

Kitchen = 2 kN/m^2

Living room = 2kN/m^2

Toilet and bathroom = 2kN/m^2

Staircase = 3 kN/m^2

Store room = 3 kN/m^2

Bedrooms = 2 kN/m^2
