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

Aim- Planning of residential G+1 according to Vastu Shastra.

Location of Building- It is located in Saharanpur in Uttar pradesh (seismic zone 4).

Orientation of structure- It is located in North south orientation with north facing plot.

Area of plot- Area = 13m in length while 10m in width.

According to Vastu shastra,

Main entrance it North facing.

Pooja ghar is located in the North East direction. Dimension of pooja ghar is 2m*2m.

Living Room is located in the North west direction with dimension of 4m*4m.

Next to living room to its south is the attached toilet with dimensions of 2m*2m.

South of toilet is space of 1m left for stairs.

South of staircase is the master bed room which is its ideal location. Dimension of master bedroom= 5m*3m.

Next to master bedroom to its eastern side is the attached bathroom with dimensions of 2m*3m.

Next to bathroom to its east is the store room which has dimension of 3m*3m.

East to the store room is the kitchen which lies in the south east portion of the plot. The dimension of kitchen is 3m*2m.

Infront of the kitchen lies the dining section with dimensions of 3m*3m.

To the North of dining section is the study room with dimensions of 3m*3m.

The centre portion of the house has direct exposure to the sky. It is the brahamsthana which is kept empty.

Calculation of loads-:

Dead load-:

Number of columns used= 12.

Unit weight of single column with dimensions of 350mm*350mm and height of 4.5m= 25*0.35*0.35*4.5= 13.78 KN.

Total weight of 12 columns =165.36 KN.

Area of slab on the ground floor = 80m. Depth of slab= 200mm

Dead load of slab on ground floor = 80*25*.2

=400 KN.

Area of slab on first floor = 25m.

Dead load of slab on first floor= 25*25*0.2

=125 KN.

Total length of plinth beam = 88m. Dimension of beam= 230mm*500mm

Dead load of plinth beam= 25 *0.23*.5*88

= 253 KN.

Dead load of wall of total length of 111m= 20*4.5*0.23*111= 2297.7

Total dead load = 3241 KN.

Calculation of live load-:

Total live load on the ground floor= 161KN.

Total live load on the first floor= 42KN.

Total live load = 203KN.

Note-: As the height of house is less than 10m we will not consider wind load.

Calculation of Seismic load

Considering type 2 soil in zone 4.

For RC framed structure, we have T= .075h power0.75

h = 9.46 m

T= .41 sec.

Z= 1.2, I =1, Sa/g= 0.26.

Ah = 0.039.

Vb= 3444*.039

= 134.316 KN.

Total seismic load is 134.316 KN.
