  • Column Schedule with reinforcement details
  • Plinth beam layout with reinforcement details
  • First floor beam layout with reinforcement details
  • First floor slab layout with reinforcement details
  • Lift pit and Headroom reinforcement details

assumptions

Height of each floor is 4m

columns size=400*300

beams size=300*300

Calculation of Dead load

Dead load of column is

Total volume of concrete=0.4*0.3*4=0.48kn

assuming total columns in a building 14 with a same size

total volume of colums would be=14*0.48=6.72kn

total dead load of columns would be =25*6.72=168kn/m^3

Dead load of beams

total volume of concrete of beams

B1=0.3*0.3*4=0.36

B2=0.4*0.3*4=0.48

B3=0.3*0.4*3=0.36

B4=0.4*0.4*4=0.64

B5=0.30*0.3*3.5=0.315

B6=0.3*0.4*4 =0.48

B7=0.3*0.3*5 =0.45

B8=0.3*0.3*5 =0.45

unit weight of concrete is=25kn/m^3

dead load of beams=(0.36+0.48+0.36+0.64+0.315+0.48+0.45+0.45)*25=14.335kn/m^3

calculation of dead load of slab assuming 10m*14m

thickness of slab would be= 250mm

unit weight of RCC slab=25kn/m^3

self weight of slab=10*14*0.25*25=875kn/m^2

height of wall=4

thickness of wall =230mm

unit weight of brick wall=20kn/m^3

dead load of wall=20*4*0.23=18.4kn/m

assume total length of wall =20m

total dead of walls=18.4*20=368kn

Live load:

As per IS 875 part 2:

Kitchen = 2 kN/m^2

Living room = 2kN/m^2

Toilet and bathroom = 2kN/m^2

Staircase = 3 kN/m^2

Store room = 3 kN/m^2

Balconies = 3 kN/m^2

Bedrooms = 2 kN/m^2

Wind load

From IS 875 part 3

Design wind pressure is calculated using the formula Pz = 0.6 Vz^2

Where Pz = Wind pressure at height z, in N/m^2

Vz = Design wind speed at height z , in m/s

Vz = Vb*k1*k2*k3*k4

Vb = basic wind speed

k1 = Probability factor (Risk coefficient)

k2 = Terrain roughness and height factor

k3 = Topography factor

k4 = Importance factor

Vb=44

K1=0.91

K2=1

K3=1

K4=1

Calculation of wind load on individual members:

F = (Cpe - Cpi) A Pd

Where Cpe - External pressure coefficient

Cpi - internal pressure coefficient

A - Surface area of structural element or cladding unit and

Pd - Design wind pressure
