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

Aim & Introduction: To sketch G+1 building and calculating the loads acting on building.

Procedure:

Calculation of load acting on building:

Assumed dimensions of buliding

• All columns are 300mm x 300mm
• All beams are 300mm x 450mm
• Slab thickness if 125mm
• The height of the wall is 4.5m

Dead load calculation:

Unit weight of concrete is 25KN/m^3

1) For column:

• Unit weight of concrete is 25KN/m^3

0.3 x 0.3 x4.5x 25= 10.12 KN

2) For Beam:

• 0.3x0.45x25=3.37 KN/m

3) For slab:

• Thickness of slab = 125mm=0.125m
• 0.125*25=3.125 KN/m^2

4)For wall:

• Height of wall 4.5m
• Thickness of wall = 230mm
• Unit weight of brickwall=20Kn/m^3
• 4.5x0.23x 20= 20.7Kn/m.

Live load calculation:

According to IS 875(part 2) table : 1

• For bath room,kitchen, bed room and living room = 2KN/m^3.
• For terrance and store room = 3KN/m^3.

Wind load calculation:

• Wind load is calculated for the structure height is above 10 m
• Therefore the structure height is below 10m,It is not applicable.

Result: According to indian standard IS 875 the wind load cant be applicable due to insufficient of height of structure.
