LOAD CALCULATION

GROUND FLOOR

Assume

Size of column – 350mmx350mm, size of beam – 400mmx400mm,size of slab thickness – 150mm, size of wall height -3m, thickness – 300mm

• Dead load:

Self-weight of column = 0.35x0.35x3x25 = 9.187KN

Self-weight of beams = 0.4x0.4x25 = 4 KN/m

Self-weight of slab = 0.150x25 = 3.175KN/m2

Self-weight of wall = 0.30x3x20 = 18KN/m2

• Live load:

As per IS875 part 2 live load can be taken for residential building

Bedroom – 2KN/m3

Bath room – 2 KN/m3

Kitchen – 2 KN/m3

Store room – 3 KN/m3, Living room – 2KN/m3

FIRST FLOOR

For the first floor same load can be taken the ground floor, because all the size of beam, column, slab, and wall are same as ground floor.

Wind load:

As per IS 875 part 3 code Height is more than 10m. So the wind load calculation is applicable.

In this plan, total height is 6m. There is no need for wind load calculation.

RESULT:

Plan for G+1 floor has been drawn as per vaastu shastra guideline and calculated the loads on building.
