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

PROJECT REPORT FOR RESIDENTIAL HOUSE CONSTRUCTION [GROUND+FF]

Introduction

The Owner is intended to construct a residential house for a plot size of 30X40 Feet. The requirement is for Ground plus first floor and small family with all facilities. Refer to the attached Floor plans for residential house of Ground plus First floor in compliance with Vastu Shastra.

Plot Orientation

The plot’s main road is located on the North side, therefore the main entrance of the building is planned at North side. (Refer to the attached plan) The plot’s 30 feet on North and South sides and 40feet on East and West direction.

Loading

Reference to the IS 875: 1987 - Part 1 for Dead loads, Part 2 for Imposed loads, Part 3 for Wind loads, Part 4 for Snow loads, Part 5 for Special loads and load combinations. Earth quake loads are not considered based on the location and Wind load is not considered since the height of the building is less than 10m and also snow load is not considered as per the proposed building climatic region.

Drawings

The followings are important construction drawings and details required at site:

• Architecture drawings such as plans for all floors, elevations of all four sides, sectional elevations, the architecture drawings shall provide details about the paint finish details, doors and windows details, staircase handrail details,floor finish details, ceiling details if any false ceiling, wardrobe/shelf/showcase details, kitchen cabinets, sink locations details, furniture arrangement details.
• Structural drawings required as below:
  • Centreline drawings in reference with Architecture drawings.

• Electrical drawings such as lighting layout, network diagram, load schedule, Power socket and other appliances details. Main distribution board, meter and further control cabinets and its locations.

Loading Calculations

Refer to the attached floor plan, the following data considered for the loading calculations.

Room Sizes

• Living/Dining Room - 16’X16’. = 4.8mX4.8m
• Master Bed Room - 11’X16’ = 3.3mX4.8m
• Guest Bed - 11’X11’ = 3.3mX3.3m
• Bath - 8’X5’ = 2.4mX1.5m
• Kitchen - 11’X11’ = 3.3mX3.3m
• Portico/Terrace - 16’X12’ = 4.8mX3.65m
• Staircase - 7.5’X11’ = 2.28mX3.3m

Data:

Column Sizes = 230X300

Beam Sizes = 230X400

Slab Thickness = 125mm

Floor Height = 3.1m

Unit weight of RCC = 25KN/m^3

Loads Calculations:

1. Dead Load/Self weight of the structural members

• Roof Slab:

Self-weight of the slab per sq.m = (1*1*0.125)*25 = 3.125KN/m^2

• Roof Beam:

Beam size = 230X400mm, considered roof beam 125mm embedded with roof slab.

Length of the beam as per grid to be considered.

Self-weight per meter length of beam = (0.23*0.4*1)*25 = 2.3 KN/m

• Columns

Assumed 3Nos. of columns on each row and the grid 4X3 = 12 Columns

Length of the Columns = from the Footings to the roof top and parapet wall = 1.5+3.5+3.5+1.0 = 9.5m

Dead load of the Column below grade beam = (1.5*0.23*0.3)*25 =2.58 KN/M^3,

Dead load of the Column = (3.5*0.23*0.3)*25 =6.03 KN/M^3,

Dead load of the Column = (1.0*0.23*0.3)*25 =1.72 KN/M^3,

• Walls:

Considered thickness of the wall = 230mm

Height of the wall = 3.1m

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

Self- weight of the wall per meter length= (0.23*3.1*1)*20 = 14.26 KN/m^3

• Grade/Floor Beam:

Same size considered as roof beam =230X400mm

Self- weight of the beam = (0.23*0.4*1)*25 = 2.3KN, we need to add the self-weight of the brick walls on the grade beam.

Therefore, Dead load on the Grade beam per meter length = 2.3+14.26 = 16.56KN/m

2. Live load

Reference to the IS 875-Part 2, the live load for the floors in all rooms considered as 2.0KN/m^2 and for the Staircase and Portico is 3.0KN/m^2

3. Wind Load

Wind load does not applied since the building height is less than 10m
