Bedroom-3m*4.5m

Toilet-3.25m*1.2m

Bath-2.4m*1.2m

WC-1.2m*1m

Other dimentions

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

-Thickness of external wall-0.23m(230mm)

-Thickness of Slab-0.25m(250mm)

-Dimention of column-0.3m*0.3m

-Dimentions of beam-0.3m*0.45m

-Height of the wall of wall of each floor-3m

Vastu shastra following during planning is-

• Entrance of the house is provided in the east direction which is the symbol of progress in life.
• Living room is placed in north east direction.
• Master bedroom is placed in south west position this direction brings good health and prosperity.
• Kitchen is placed in south east direction.
• Study room is placed in east direction.
• Staircase is placed at Northwest corner.
• Bathroom,WC and toilet is placed in West direction.

Calculation of loads-

(A)Dead load calculations

1.Dead load of column-

Dimention of column=0.3m*0.3m(300mm*300mm)

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

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

Total volume of concrete=0.3*0.3*6.5=0.585m3

Unit weight of RCC=25kN/m3

Unit weight of building materials used in construction works as per IS 875(Part1)

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

2.Dead load of baems-

Dimention of beam=0.3m*0.45m(300mm*450mm)

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

Total volume of concrete=0.3*0.45*1=0.135m3

Unit weight of RCC=25KN/m3

Unit weight of Building materials used in construction works as per IS 875(Part1)

Dead load beam =25*0.135=3.375KN

3.Dead load of slab-

Slab is always design for the span of 1m.

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

Thickness of slab=0.25m

Dencity of RCC=25KN/m3.

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

4.Dead load of walls

-Dead load of external wall=0.23m(230mm)

Unit weight of brick wall=20KN/m3

Unit weight of building material 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(150mm)

unit weight of brick wall=20KN/m3

Unit weight of building materials used in construction works as perIS 875(Part-1)

Height of wall=3m

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

(B)Live load calculation-

(According to IS 875 Part 2)

Bedroom=2KN/m2

Living room=2KN/m2

Bath=2KN/m2

Terrace=3KN/m2

Toilet=2KN/m2

Staircase=3KN/m2

Study room=2KN/m2

Kitchen=2KN/m2

(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 is wind load is not required.

References and IS codes 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 vastu shastra concept considaring all the principles and considarations of vastu Shastra .

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