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

AIM :

Sketching a G+1 floor residential plan, according to Vaastu Shastra, and calculating the loads acting on building

PROCEDURE :

The above plan is done according to vaastu

1. All the doors are inwards
2. Main door is facing towards East
3. Bathrooms do not share any common wall with kitchen
4. Bathrooms are not provided near the kitchen
5. Kitchen is provided in southwest part of the house which is the assumed to be ideal
6. Staircase is provided in the North west

Required drawings :

• central line drawings
• footing and column layout with reinforcement details
• column schedule with reinforcement details
• plinth beam layout with reinforcement details
• First floor beam layout with reinforcement details
• First floor slab layout with reinforcement details
• lift pit and headroom
• reinforcement details

Load calculations :

Specify the assumed size of rooms

• all colums are 300 mmx300 mm
• all beams are 300 mmx450 mm
• slab thickness 125mm
• the height of wall is 3 m

Columns :

given

column length x breadth = 0.3m x0.3 m

height of column = 4.5 m

unit weight of RCC = 2500 kg /m^3

Dead load of colums = 0.3x0.3x4.5x25=10.125 kN

Beams :

given

beam size =0.3x0.45x4.0

Unit weight of RCC = 2500 kg/m^3

Selfweight of beam = 0.3x0.45x4.0x25 = 13.5kN

Slab :

given

slab thickness = 125mm

Unit weight of RCC = 2500 kg/m^3

Selfweight of slab = 0.125 x25 =256.5 kN /m^2

Live Load :

from IS 875 part-2 1987

live loads for dwelling houses

all rooms and kitchen =2.0 kN/m^2

toilet and bathroom = 2.0kN/m^2

corridors and passages = 3.0 kN/m^2

balconies = 3.0 kN/m^2

therefore total live load = 2.0+2.0 +3.0+3.0= 10.0 kN/m^2

Windload :

here , total height of building is less than 10 m so wind load can be neglected
