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

1.

Dimensions of Ground Floor Plan-

Living room- 5.5m X 5.1m

Kitchen room- 3.35m X 3.35m

bed room- 5m X 3.35m

Bedroom- 3m X 3.35m

Toilet & Bath - 2m X 1.6m

Dimensions of First Floor plan-

Living room- 5.5m X 5.1m

Kitchen room- 3.35m X 3.35m

bed room- 5m X 3.35m

Bedroom- 3m X 3.35m

Toilet & Bath - 2m X 1.6m

Balcony- 6m X 2m

Remaining dimensions

-Thickness of internal wall- 0.15m (150mm)

-Thickness of external wall- 0.3m (230mm)

-Thickness of slab- 0.25m (250mm)

-Dimensions of column – 0.3m X 0.3m

-Dimensions of beam-0.3m X 0.45m

-Height of the wall of each floor- 3m

A). Dead load Calculations

  1. Dead load of columns-

Dimension of column= 0.3m X 0.3m (300mm X 300mm)

Height of column= (Slab thickness X 2) + (Height of wall for each floor X 2)

= (0.25 X 2) + (3 X 2) = 6.5m

Total volume of concrete = 0.3 X 0.3 X 6.5 = 0.585m3.

Unit weight of RCC= 25KN/m3.

Unit Weight of Building Materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (Part-1)

Dead load of column= 25 X 0.585=14.62KN.

  1. Dead load of beams-

Dimension of beam= 0.3m X 0.45m (300mm X 450mm)

Total volume of concrete = 0.3 X 0.45 X 1 = 0.135m3.

Unit weight of RCC= 25KN/m3.

Unit Weight of Building Materials used in construction works as per IS 875 (Part-1)

Dead load of beam= 25 X 0.135=3.375KN

  1. Dead load of slab-

Slab is always designed for the span of 1m.

Hence assume size of slab as 1m X 1m.

Thickness of slab= 0.25m

Density of RCC= 25KN/m3

Self-weight of slab= 1 X 1 X 0.25 X 25= 6.25KN.

  1. Dead load of walls

-Dead load of external wall

Thickness of External wall = 0.3m. (300mm)

unit weight of brick wall= 20KN/m3

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 X 0.3 X 20= 18KN.

-Dead load of internal wall

Thickness of Internal wall = 0.15m. (150mm)

unit weight of brick wall= 20KN/m3

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 X 0.15 X 20= 9KN.

(B). Live load calculations-

(According to IS 875 Part 2)

Bed room= 2KN/m2

Living room= 2KN/m2

Bath=2KN/m2

Terrace = 3KN/m2

Toilet= 2KN/m2

Staircase= 3KN/m2

Kitchen= 2KN/m2
