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

G+1 east facing residential plan as per vastu shastra 

assume the following data 

  • column size = 300*300mm = 0.3*0.3 m
  • height of column = 3m 
  • beam size = 0.3* 0.45 m            
  • slab thickness = 125 mm = 0.125 mm 

finding individual loads of members 

1. dead load of column 

column size = o.3 *0.3 m

height of column = 3m 

unit weight of concrete = 25 kN/m^3

volume of concrete = 0.3*.3*3 = 0.27 m^*3

DL of column = volume * unit weight = 0.2725

                    = 6.75 kn

6.75* no of column = 6.75* 14

                             67.5 kn 

2. dead load of column 

beam size = 0.3 *0.45 m

volume of concrete = 0.3 *0.45*1 

DL of beams = 0.135*25

                   =  3.375 kn/m 

                   =  3.375 * 30 ( length ) 

                   = 101.25 kn/m

3. dead load of slab 

slab thickness = o.125 m 

self weight of slab  = 0.125*9.14*12.19

                            =13.92*25 =348 KN

total load of floor finish = area of slab * wt. of floor finish/m^2

                                      9.14*12.19*1.5 =167.12 KN 

total deads load = 348+167.12 

                        =515.12 KN 

4. dead load of wall 

height of wall = 3m 

thickness of wall = 0.23m 

dead load of brick wall = 0.69*20*1 = 13.8 kn/m 

imposed load 

according to is 875 part 2 the live load of all rooms and kitchen of a residential building = 2kn/m^2

wind load criteria is not applicable since building height is less then 10m 

height = 3+3+0.125+0.125 = 6.25m
