CALCULATION OF LOADS-

(A)DEAD LOAD CALCULATIONS

1.Dead load of columns-Dimension of column =0.25m*0.3m

Height of column = (slab thickness*2)+(Height of wall for each floor*2)= (0.25*2)+(3*2)=6.5

Total volume of concrete =0.25*0.3*6.5=0.4875m^3

Unit weight of RCC=25KN/m^3

Unit weight of building materials used in construction work 0.3*0.45as per IS 875 {PART-1}

Dead load of column = 25*0.4875 =12.18 KN.

2.Dead load of beams-

Dimension of beam=0.3m*0.45m

Total volum of concrete =0.3*0.45*1=0.135m^3

Unit weight of RCC = 25KN/m^3

Unit weight of building materials used in construction works as per IS 875{PART-1}

Dead load of beam = 25*0.135=3.375KN

3.Dead load of slab-

Slab is always dessigned for the span of 1m.

Hence assume size of slab as 1m*1m

Thickness of slab=0.25m

Density of RCC =25KN/m^3

Self-weight of slab =1*1*0.25*25=6.25KN

4.Dead load of walls

Dead load of external wall

Thickness of external wall =0.23m

Unit weight of brick wall =20KN/m^3

Unit weight of building materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (PART-1)

Height of wall =3m

Load of wall on beam = 3*0.23*20 =13.8KN

-DEAD LOAD OF INTERNAL WALL

Thickness of internal wall =0.15m.

Unit weight of brick wall =20KN/ m^3

Unit weight of building materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (PART-1)

Height of wall= 3m

Load of wall on beam = 3*0.15*20=9KN.

(B).LIVE LOAD CALCULATIONS-

(According to IS 875 Part 2)

Bed room =2KN/m^2

Living room=2KN/m^2

Bath =2KN/m^2

Terrace =3KN/m^2

Toilet =2KN/m^2

Staircase =3KN/m^2

Study room=2KN/m^2

Kitchen =2KN/m^2

(C).WIND LOAD CALCULATION-

Wind load is designed only when the height of the building exceeds 10m.

The height of designed building is 6.5m which is less than 10m.

So,the calculation of wind load is not required.

References and IS codes used for the design-

IS 875:1987,Part 1 for Dead load

IS 875:1987,Part 2 for live load

IS 875:1987,Part 3 for wind load

IS 456:2000,for reinforced concrete.

RESULTS-

-The plan is prepared by the vaastu shastra concept considering all the principles and considerations of vaastu shastra

-The load calculations are done as per the IS code considerations.
