• our nature is abundant with powerhouses of energy sources like the sun wind moon water earth and fire

• LOAD CALCULATION
• DEAD LOAD CALCULATION
• DEAD LOAD OF A COLUMN :
• dimension of a column: 0.3m*0.3m
• height of a column : slab thickness of two slab + height of ground floor+height of a first floor
• height of a column: 0.25+0.25+4+4 =8.5 m
• unit weight of an RCC: 25 KN/M^3
• a dead load of a column: unit weight of an RCC* volume of a column
• Dead load of a column : 25*(8.5*0.3*0.3) = 19.125 KN/M^2
• a Dead load of a column: 19.125 KN/M^2
• DEAD LOAD ON BEAM :
• Dimension of a beam: 0.3*0.45 m
• a dead load of the beam calculates for a one-meter length so, the length of a beam is 1 m
• unit weight of an RCC: 25 KN/M^3
• a dead load of a beam: unit weight of a beam *volume of a beam
• dead load on a beam : 25*( 0.3*0.45*1) = 3.375 KN/M^2
• a Dead load of a beam per meter length is 30.375 KN/M^2
• DEAD LOAD OF A SLAB :
• dimension of a slab is 12*11m but,
• slab is always designed for a one-meter span hence assume the size of a slab is 1m*1m
• so, the size of the slab is 1m*1m
• unit weight of RCC is 25 KN/M^3
• dead load of a slab : unit weight of slab* volume of a slab = 25*(1*1*0.25)=6.25 KN/M^2
• a Dead load of slab having size (1*1m) is 6.25 KN/M^2
• DEAD LOAD OF WALL :
• thickness of a wall: 0.23 m
• unit weight of bricks: 20 KN/M^3
• height of the wall: total height of floor - beam thickness =4-0.45= 3.55 m
• a dead load of a wall: unit weight of bricks *volume of a bricks
• Dead load of wall :20*(0.23*3.55)= 20.4125 KN/M^2
• a Dead load of wall: 20.4125 KN/M^2
• LIVE LOAD CALCULATION :
• (according to IS CODE 875 part 2 following live load is calculated for each room)
• bedroom: 2 KN/M^2
• Living room: 2 KN/M^2
• washroom: 2 KN/M^2
• staircase : 3 KN/M^2
• study room: 2 KN/M^2
• kitchen: 2 KN/M^2
• store room : 3 KN/M^2
• terrace: 2 KN/M^2
• guest room: 2 KN/M^2
• dining hall: 2KN/M^2
• Total live load: 22 KN /M^2
• WIND LOAD CALCULATION
• as per the IS CODE 875 part 3 wind load is calculated for the building when the height of a building is more than 10 m
• Here, the height of the building is 8 m which is less than 10 m
• so calculation of wind load is not required
• RESULTS :
• design of a G+1 building is as per the Vaastu shastra here we can consider all aspects and principle of the Vastu shastra
• and the load is calculated by using IS CODE.
• REFERENCE OF IS CODE
• Building design: prepared by Vastu shastra
• CEMENT USED: OPC grade conforming IS CODE IS: 8112
• CONCRETE USED: design mix as per the IS CODE IS 456:2000
• DEAD LOAD CALCULATION: as per the IS CODE 875 ( part 1)
• LIVE LOAD CALCULATION: as per the IS CODE 875 (part 2)
• WIND LOAD CALCULATION: as per the IS CODE 875 (part 3)
