Challenge

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

DEAD LOAD:

SELF WEIGHT OF SLAB:

Self weight of slab = Slab thickness x unit weight of RCC

Thickness of slab = 125mm

Self weight of slab = 0.125x25KN/m^3 = 3.125KN/m^2

SELF WEIGHT OF BEAM :

Self weight of beam = beam depth x beam width x unit weight of RCC

= 3.3x3m x 25KN/m^3 = 247.5KN/m^2

SELF WEIGHT OF COLUMN:

Self weight of column = column depth x column width x column length x unit weight of RCC

= 3x3.3x3x25KN/m^3 = 742.5KN/m^2

LIVE LOAD :

From the code of IS 875 : PART 2

Live loads for residential building is ,

  • all rooms and kitchen is 2.0KN/m^2
  • toilets and bathrooms is 2KN/m^2
  • corriders,passages,staircase is 3KN/m^2
  • balconies is 3KN/m^2
