Challenge

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 Vaastu Shastra, and list down the names of the structural drawings required to be provided to the site for construction.

The Above image represents the Ground floor plan

The Above image represents the First floor plan

Structural drawings required to be provided to the site for construction are

  1. Center line marking layout
  2. Footing layout
  3. Footing Schedule (Reinforment details & areas of footing will be given)
  4. Column layout
  5. Column Schedule (Reinforment details & areas of column will be given)
  6. Plint beam Layout
  7. Plinth Beam Reinforcement details (Beam size, reinforcement details & corss section drawings)
  8. Foor Beam layout
  9. Floor Beam Reinforcement details (Beam size, reinforcement details & corss section drawings)
  10. Floor Slab layout (with slab thickness & reinforcement details)
  11. Stair case layout

Dead load on columns

Assming all Column size 230mm x 380 mm

Plan has 12 columns and having same dimensions.

So C1=C2=C3... upto C12 all columns are same

Unit wt of concrete = 25KN/m^3

Asssuming Height of floor = 3m

Volume = 0.23x0.38*3 = 0.2622m^3

Dead Load on Column C1 = 0.2622*25 = 6.555KN.

Dead load on Beams

All Beams (230 x 430)

Self Weight of Beam = (Volume x Unit weight of concrete)

Running length = 1

Total Volumn of Concrete = 0.23x0.43x1 = 0.0989m^3

Unit Weight of concrete = 25KN/m^3

Self Weight on Column = 0.0989*25 = 2.472KN.

Dead load on Slab

Slab Thickness = 125 mm

As per plan - Span = 9.16m x 15.24m

Dead Load of Slab = (Volume x Unit weight of concrete)

Total Volumn of Concrete = 0.125x9.16x15.24 = 17.44m^3

Unit Weight of concrete = 25 KN/m^3

Dead Load of slab = 25x17.44 = 436.245 kN/m^2.

Dead Load of wall

Thickness of wall = 230mm

Height of wall = 2.74m

Unit Weight Brick wall = 20KN/m^3

Dead load of wall = 20*2.74*0.23 = 12.604KN/m

Live Load

For Residential building = 2 KN/m^2.

For Balconies & Terrace floors = 1.5 KN/m^2.

Wind Load

Design Wind Pressure Pz = 0.6Vz^2

Where Pz = Wind pressure at height z, N/m^2

Vz = Design wind speed at height z, N/m^2

Vz = Vb*k1*k2*k3*k4

Where Vb = Basic Wind speed

k1 = Probability factor(Risk Coefficient)

K2 = Terrain Roughness & height factor

k3 = Topography factor

k4 = Importance Factor

Vb = 50 Bacic wind speed

K1 = for 50 basic wind speed =1

K2 = Category 2 = 1

K3 = 1

K4 = 1

Vz = 50*1*1*1*1

Vz = 50N/m^2

Pz = 0.6*50^2

Pz = 1500 N/m^2
