Sketch a G+1 residential plan according to Vaastu Shastra and Calculation of Loads as per IS code
Aim of the project
To sketch a G+1 floor residential plan according to vaastu shastra and to list down the names of structural drawing required to be provided to the site for construction.
To assume the size of structural elements (column,Beam,Slab)and to calculate the loads from the members as per is code.
Ground Floor plan:-

Dining room-3m x 3m
Master bedroom- 4.3m x 3m
Beadroom - 3m x 4.5m
Toilet - 3.25m x 1.2m
Bath - 2.4m x 1.2m
Frist Floor Plan-

(All Dimension are in Meters)
Dimensions of Frist Floor-
Guest room - 4.3m x 3m
Study romm - 3m x 3m
Bead room - 3mx 4.5m
Toilet - 3.25m x 1.2m
Both - 2.4m x 1.2m
Other dimensions
- Thick ness of internal wall-0.15m(150mm)
- Thickness of external wall-0.25m(250mm)
- Thickness of the slab 0.25(250mm)
- Dimensions of the column - 0.3m x.03m
- Dimensions of the beam - 0.3m x 0.45m
- Height of the wall of each floor - 3m
Vastu shastra followed during plnning -
- Entrance of the house is provided in the east direction which is the symbol of progress in life
- Living room is placed in north east direction
- Mater bedroom is placed in south west position this direction brings good health and prosperity
- Kitchen is placed in south east direction
- Study room is placed in east direction
- Staircase is placed at northwest coener
- Bathroom and toilet is placed in west direction

Calculation of loads
(A). Dead Load calculation
1.Dead load column
- Dimension of column=0.3x0.3(300mmx300mm)
- Height of column=(slab thickness x 2)+(Height of the wall of each floor x 2
- =(0.25x2)+(3x2)=6.5
- total volume of concrete=0.3x0.3x6.5-0.585m³
- Unit weight of RCC=25KN/m³
- Dead load of column=25x0.585=14.62KN
2.Dead load of Beams
- Dimensions of beam =0.3mx0.45m
- Total volume of concrete =0.3x0.45x1=0.135m³
- Unit weight of RCC=25KN/m³
- Dead load of beam =25x0.135=3.375KN
3.Dead load of slab
- Size of the slab =1mx1m(assumed)
- Thickness of the slab =0.25m
- Density of RCC =25KN/m³
- Self weight of slab =1x1x0.25x25=6.22KN
4.Dead load of walls
Dead load of external wall
- Thickness of extrenal wall=0.23m(230mm)
- Unit weight of brick wall=20KN/m³
- Height of wall=3m
- Dead Load of wall on beam=3x0.23x20=13.8KN
Dead load of internal wall
- Thickness of internal wall=0.15m(150mm)
- Unit weight of brick wall=20KN/m³
- Height of wall=3m
- Dead load of beam=3x0.15x20=9KN
(Uint weight of all building materials are used in this calculation as per IS 875)
(B).Live load calculation
(According to IS 875 Part-2)
- Bed room =2KN/m²
- Living room =2KN/m²
- Bath =2KN/m²
- Terrace =3KN/m²
- Toilet =2KN/m²
- Staircase =3KN/m²
- Study room =2KN/m²
- Kitchen =2KN/m²
(C).Wind load calculation
Wind load is designed only when the height of the building exceeds 10m.
The height of designed building is 6.5m which is less then 10m.
So the calculation of wind load is not required
References and IS codes used for the desing=
- IS 875:1987, Part 1 for Dead load
- IS 875:1987, Part 2 for Live load
- IS 875:1987, Part 3 for Wind load
- IS 456:2000, for Reinforced concrete.
Result:-
- The plan is prepared by the vastu shastra concept considering all the peinciples and considerations of Vaastu shastra
- The load calculation are done as per the IS code consideration.
