Challenge

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

AIM 

      To draw/Sketch the G+1 floor residential plan, according to vasstu shastra and also calculate the individual corresponding loads for the structural members as per IS code assume the required suitable data.

Introduction

As per IS code 456 : 2000  for reinforced concrete structure

As per IS code 875 : 1987, revised 2018 (part - I)  for Dead load calculation for structure element

As per IS code 875 : 1987, revised 2008 (part - II) for Live load

As per IS code 875 : 1987, revised 2005 (part - III)  for Wind load

The important structural drawings required to be provided to the site for construction

  • Centre line drawing
  • Footing and Column layout with reinforcement details
  • Column schedule with reinforcement details
  • Plinth beam layout with reinforcement details
  • First floor beam layout with reinforcement details
  • First floor salb layout with reinforcement details
  • Lift pit and headroom with reinforcement details

Procedure

1 column

Total volume of column concrete = 0.3*0.3*3

                                                      = 0.27

Unit weight of concrete ( RCC )    = 25 KN/mm2

Dead load for column                  = 0.27*25

                                                     = 6.75 KN

2 Beam

Total volume of Beam concrete = 0.3*0.4*3.3

                                                      = 0.396

Unit weight of concrete ( RCC )    = 25 KN/mm2

Dead load for column                  = 0.396*25

                                                     = 9.9 KN

3 Slab

Total volume of column concrete = 3.8*3*0.15

                                                      = 1.71

Unit weight of concrete ( RCC )    = 25 KN/mm2

Dead load for column                  = 1.71*25

                                                     = 42.75 KN

4 Brick masonary

Total volume of Brick work           = 3.8*0.2*3

                                                      = 2.28

Unit weight of concrete ( RCC )    = 25 KN/mm2

Dead load for column                  = 2.28*20

                                                     = 45.6 KN

5 Live load

For residentaial building all room, kitchen, toilet and bathroom live load is 2 KN/m2.

6 Wind load

As per IS code for Ground floor or below 10mm height of building wind load can not be considered.

Result

Dead load

  • Column = 6.75 KN
  • Beam     = 9.9 KN
  • Slab       = 42.75 KN
  • brick Masonary = 45.6 KN

Live load

  • All room = 2KN
  • Kitchen   = 2KN
  • Toilet and bathroom = 2KN
