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

ANS : AIM OF THE PROJECT IS:

To sketch a G+1 floor residential building plan according to vastu shastra and to list down the names of structural drawings required for to be provided to the site for construction.

To assume the size of structural elements ( Column, Beams, Slabs etc.,) and to calculate the loads from the members as per as code.

DIMENSIONS OF GROUND FLOOR PLAN:

Living room = 4.6 X 4.5M.

Kitchen room = 4.5 X 4M.

Dining room = 3 X 3M.

Master bed room = 4.5 X 4M.

Bed room = 3 X 4.5M.

Toilet = 2 X4M.

Bath room = 2.4 X 1.2M.

DIMENSIONS OF FIRST FLOOR PLAN:

Master bed room = 4 X 4M.

Bed room = 4 X 4M.

Bath room = 3 X 3M.

Store room = 2 X 4M.

Toilet = 2 X 4M.

OTHER DIMENSIONS:

Thickness of the internal wall = 0.15m.(150mm)

Thickness of the external wall = 0.3m(300mm).

Thickness of the slab = 0.25m (250mm).

Dimensions of the column = 0.3 X 0.3m.

Dimensions of the beam = 0.3 X 0.45m.

Height of the wall of the each floor = 3m.

VASTU SHASTRA FOLLOWED BY DURING PLANNING IS:

1. Entrance of the house is provided in the east direction which is the symbol of progress in life.

2. Living room is placed in north east direction.

3. Master bed room is placed in south west position this direction brings good health and prospereity.

4. Kitchen is placed in south east directioin.

5. Staircase is placed at north west corner .

6. Bathroom and toilet is placed in western direction.

CALCULATION OF LOADS:

A) DEAD LOAD CALCULATIONS:

1) Dead load of columns: Dimension of column = 0.3 X 0.3m.(300mm X 300mm).

Height of the column = (slab thickness X 2) + (Height of wall for each floor X 2) = ( 0.25 X 2) + (3 X 2) = 6.5m.

Total volume of concrete = 0.3 X 0.3 X 6.5 = 0.585M^3.

unit weight of RCC = 25kn/m^3.

Unit weight of building materials used in construction works as per as IS 875.

Dead load of column = unit weight of RCC X total volume of concrete.

= 25 X 0,585 = 14.625kn/m^3.

2. Dead load of beams :

Dimensions of beam = 0.3 X 0.45m(300 X 450mm).

Total volume of concrete = 0.3 X 045 X 1 = 0.135m^3.

Unit weight of RCC = 25kn/m^3.

Dead load of beam = unit weight of RCC X Total volume of concrete.

= 25 X 0.135 = 3.375KN.

3. Dead load of slab: Slab is always designed for the span of 1m hence assume size of slab as 1m X 1m.

Thickness of slab = 0.25m.

Density of RCC = 25KN/m^3.

Self weight of slab = size of slab X thickess of slab X Density of RCC.

= 1 X 1 X 0.25 X 25 = 6.25KN.

DEAD LOAD OF SLAB = 6.25KN.

4. Dead load of walls:

Dead load of external wall.

Thickness of external wall = 0.23m(230mm).

unit weight of brick wall = 20KN/m^3.

Height of the wall = 3m.

load of wall on beam = 3 X 0.15 X 20 = 9KN.

B). LIVE LOAD CALCULATION:

Bed room = 2KN/m^2.

Living room = 2KN/m^2.

Bathroom = 2KN/m^2.

Toilet = 2KN/m^2.

Staircase = 3KN/m^2.

Store room = 2KN/m^2.

Kitchen = 2KN/m^2.

C). WIND LOAD CALCULATION :

1. Wind load is designed only when the height of the building exceeds 10m.

2. The height of designed building is 6.5m which is less than 10m.

3. So, the calculation of wind load is not required.

References and IS codes used for the design:

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.

FRESULTS:

THE PLAN IS PREPARED BY THE VASTU SHASTRA CONCEPT CONSIDERING ALL THE PRINCIPLES AND CONSIDERATIONS OF VASTU SHASTRA.

THE LOAD CALCULATIONS ARE DONE AS PER AS THE CODE CONSIDERATIONS.

THESE ARE THE PROCEDURE AND DESIGN OF A G+1 BUILDING DRAWING FOR ACCORDING TO VASTU SHASTRA AND REQUIRED FOR THE PROVIDED TO THE SITE FOR CONSTRUCTION. EXPLAIN NEATLY STEP BY STEP.
