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

A.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 m13

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

  1. 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

  1. 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

  1. 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 these rooms and bathroom and no balconies are present in the building.

And near staircase provides 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 calculation is not implemented on the building

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