Sketch a G+1 residential plan according to Vaastu Shastra and Calculation of Loads as per IS code
AIM:
To Sketch a G+1 floor residential plan, according to Vast Shastra, and list down the names of the structural drawings required to be provided to the site for construction.
INTRODUCTION:
- Vastus Shastra is the ancient Indian science of architecture and acts as a guideline to design your home in the way that enhances positive energy. Our nature is abundant with powerhouses of energy sources like the sun, wind, moon, water, earth & fire. Effect of sunrays, flow of winds, pull of earth’s magnetic field and other such cosmic energies. A good home needs to radiate the right kind of energy. A person dwelling in a house comes under the influence of a specific energy field which comes under the influence of specific energy field. Architectural changes are not possible for a ready to move in house.
Significance of eight directions:
- Four cardinal direction North, East, West, South.
- Four inter cardinal direction North-east, North-west, South-east and south west.
- Each direction signifies an aspect of life and is governed by various gods.
- North - wealth. South - dharma. West and east - overall prosperity.
PROCEDURES INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT:
- Floor plan & Column, beam, slab detail drawing’s
- Dead load calculation
- Live load calculation
- Wind load calculations
FLOOR PLAN AND COLUMN, BEAM, SLAB DETAIL DRAWINGS:
- The floor plan drawings and every stage of column, beam and slab detail drawing is must it helps you to execute the work with troubles and taking quantity of materials and for all type calculations it is very helpful one.
In this project we are using different type’s plans that is given below.
