Challenge

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

1) G+1 floor residential plan

2) List of structural drawings required to be provided to the site for construction.

  • Centre line drawing
  • Footing and Column layout
  • Column Schedule with reinforcement details
  • Plinth beam layout with reinforcement details
  • Ground floor beam layout with reinforcement details
  • First floor beam layout with reinforcement details
  • First floor slab layout with reinforcement details
  • Lift pit and Headroom with reinforcement details

3) Load of members as per IS code

Size of the Rooms:

Ground Floor

Bath size: 5'x7' = 1525x2135 mm

Kitchen size: 10'x10' = 3050x3050 mm

Bedroom size: 10'6"x11' + 5'6"x3'6" = 3200x3355 mm + 1680x1070 mm

Living/Dining size:  13'3"x14'9" = 4040x4500 mm

Toilet: 10'x5' = 3050x1525 mm

Middle area: 8'6"x5' =2590x2440 mm

Staircase: 19'3"x8' = 5870x2440 mm

First Floor

Bath size: 5'x7' = 1525x2135 mm

Studysize: 10'x10' = 3050x3050 mm

Bedroom size: 10'6"x11' + 5'6"x3'6" = 3200x3355 mm + 1680x1070 mm

Common area size:  13'3"x14'9" = 4040x4500 mm

Toilet: 7'x5' = 2135x1525

Middle area: 11'6"x5' = 3505x1525 mm

Staircase: 19'3"x8' = 5870x2440 mm

DEAD LOAD

Dead Load of Column (0.30mX0.30mX6m)

Total volume of concrete = 0.30 x 0.30 x 6= 0.54 m^3

Unit weight of concrete = 25 KN/m^3

Dead Load on column = 25 x 0.54 = 13.5 KN

No of Columns 12 = 12 x 13.5 = 162 kN

Dead Load of Beam

  • (0.30 m X 0.45 m)

Total volume of concrete = 0.30 X 0.45 m = 0.135 m^2

Unit weight of concrete = 25 KN/m^3

Dead Load on Beam = 25 X 0.135 = 3.375 KN/m

Dead Load of Slab

150mm thickness and span

Unit weight of concrete = 25 KN/m^3

Self weight of slab = 25 x 0.150 = 3.75 KN/m^2

According  to Table 1 of IS:875(Part 2) 1987

The Live Load considered on Residential Building is to be taken as 2 `(kN)/m^2`

WIND LOAD

As Wind speed may be taken as constant up to a height

of 10 m. The structure does not exceed the height of 10 meters hence Wind load is not taken into account.
