Concept of Vastu:-
Calculation of loads:-
(A). Dead load Calculations
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.
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
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.
Dead load of walls:-
-Dead load of external wall
Thickness of External wall = 0.23m. (230mm)
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 0.23 X 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 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/m
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 of wind load is not required.
References and IS codes used for the design-

IS 875:1987, Part 2 for Live load
IS 875:1987, Part 3 for Wind load
IS 456:2000, for Reinforced Concrete.
