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

Aim: Sketch G+1 resedential plan and calculation of dead load, live load, wind load acoording to vaastu shastra.

Introduction: It is anancient indian science of architecture and act as guidelines to design your home in way to enhance positive energy. requrements as follows:`

Living room:

• it should be in North- west,north- east,east or north facing
• heavy furniture should be kept in west, or south west direction of living room.
• electronic applinces shuld be installed south east section.
• mirror should place in north wall.

Kicthen:

• keep water sink away fron gas stove.
• fridge at south west corner.
• never let kitchen face washroom wall or share common wall with it.
• south east is the best dirction.
• avoid north east direction.

Bedroom:

• south west is the best direction
• avoid north east and south east direction.
• bed should place in south west corner with head facing west.
• avoid mirror or T.V. facing bed.
• avoid water painting
• never sleep with head in north direction.

Bathroom:

• north west is the best direction.
• avoid north- east direction.

Plan:

Structural drawings required at site for construction:

1. centre line drawing
2. footing n column layout with R/F details
3. column schedule with R/F details
4. plinth beam layout with R/F details
5. first floor beam layout with R/F details
6. first floor slab layout with R/F details
7. lift pit n headroom R/F details.

Calculation of loads of individual structural member:

1] Dead load: as per IS 875 Part 1

1) Column: Assume height of building 10 feet(3m), uint weight of RCC is 25 kn/m^3.

C1 : size of C1 column is 300*300*3000 mm and C2 is 450*300*3000mm

dead load = size of member * unit weight of RCC

D.L. = 0.3*0.3*3*25

(D.L)c1 = 6.75 KN

(D.L.)c2 = 0.45*0.3*3*25

(D.L.)c2 = 10.125 KN

2) Beam: size of beam is uniform that is 300*300 mm for first floor.

D.L. = 0.3*0.3*25

D.L. = 2.25 KN/m

3) Slab: assume thickness of slab is 150 mm.

D.L. = 0.15*25.

D.L. = 3.75 KN/m^2

4) Wall: denity of masonry is 18 kn/^3 . assume height of wall 3 m.

for internal wall thickness is 150mm n for external wall thickness is 230 mm.

(D.L)EW = 0.23*3*18 = 12.42 kn/m

(D.L.)IW = 0.15*3*18 = 8.1 kn/m

2] live load :

as per IS 875 PART 2,

live load for kitchen , bed room , bathroom is 2 kn/m^2.

live load for staircase , store room, balcony, passage,lounge area n parking area is 3 kn/m^2.

3] WIND load: as per IS 875 Part 3,

to consider wind load the minimum height of building should be 10 m.

for this G+1 building height is less than 10 m so no wind load calculation is required.
