Challenge

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

Structural drawings provided to the site for construction are:-

STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS

These drawings show the support system of the building like how the building is standing, what are its structural components, what is the strength of the building and how beams, columns, stairs, slabs etc. are connected and thus like.

Assumed area of each rooms

Kitchen room = 2.4 m × 3 m = 7.2 m2

Dining room = 2.4 m × 4 m = 9.6 m2

Bathroom = 2 m × 2 m= 4 m2

Bedroom = 2 m × 4 m= 8 m2

Storage room = 1 m × 2 m = 2 m2

Terrace = 3 m × 6 m= 18 m2

No. of columns = 14

No. of slab = 1

ASSUMED SIZE OF THE STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS

- All columns are 300mm x 300mm
- All beams are 300mm x 450mm
- Slab thickness if 125mm
- The height of the wall is 4.5m

Dead load of columns

Size of the column = 300 mm * 300 mm * 4.5 m = 0.3 m * 0.3 m * 4.5 m

volume of the column = 0.3 m * 0.3 m * 4.5 m = 0.405 m3

Unit weight of RCC column = 25 KN/m3

∴ Self weight of the column = 0.405 m3 * 25 KN/m3 =10.125 KN.

No. of columns = 14

∴ Total Self weight of 14 column = 14* 10.125 KN = 141.75KN

Dead load of beams

Overall beam length of the structure= 2+1+1+{2×(6+2)}+2+{2×(7+2.4)}-7 = (4+16+2+18.8-7)m = 33.8m

Size of the beam = 300 mm * 450 mm * 33.8m= 0.3 m * 0.45 m * 33.8m =4.563 m3

Unit weight of RCC beam = 25 KN/m3

∴ Self weight of Overall beam length of the structure = 4.563 * 25 KN/m3 = 114.075KN/m

Dead load of slab

Thickness of the slab = 125mm

volume of the slab ={(2.4 m × 3 m)+(2.4 m × 4 m)+(2 m × 2 m)+(2 m × 4 m)+(1 m × 2 m)+(3 m × 6 m)} * 0.125 m = 6.1 m3

Unit weight of RCC column = 25 KN/m3

∴ Self weight of the column = 6.1 m3 * 25 KN/m3 =152.5 KN

UDl(KN/m2) ( from IS 875 1987 part 2)

Kitchen room= 2 KN/m2

Dining room = 2 KN/m2

Bathroom = 2 KN/m2

Bedroom = 2 KN/m2

Storage room = 5 KN/m2

Terrace = 3 KN/m2

Live load calculation

Kitchen room = 7.2 m2 × 2 KN/m2 = 14.4 KN

Dining room = 9.6 m2 × 2 KN/m2=19.2 KN

Bathroom = 4 m2 × 2 KN/m2= 8KN

Bedroom = 8 m2 × 2 KN/m2= 16KN

Storage room = 2 m2 × 5 KN/m2=10 KN

Terrace = 18 m2 × 3 KN/m2= 54KN
