1. G+1 BUIDLING
AIM:- Sketch a G+1 floor residential plan, according to Vaastu Shastra, and list down the names of the structural drawings required to be provided to the site for construction.
PROCEDURE:-

B. Dead load of components
a. Beams(first floor)
- Beams are only provided on the main walls.
1.Living(3.1m*4.5m)
- Centre to centre distance = 3.1*2 + 4.5*2 = 15.2m
- Length of joineries needs to be deducted.
2. Corridor(1.90*4.90)
- Centre to centre distance = 1.9*1= 1.9m
- Length of joineries needs to be deducted.
3.Pooja Room(2.70x1.80)
- Centre to centre distance = 2.7*2+1.8*2= 9m
- Length of joineries needs to be deducted.
4. Dining(2.70x2.50)
- Centre to centre distance = 2.7*1+2.5*2 = 7.7m
- Length of joineries needs to be deducted.
5. Toilet (2.70 x 2.00)
- Centre to centre distance = 2.7*1+2.0*2 =6.7m
- Length of joineries needs to be deducted.
6. kitchen (2.70x3.50)
- Centre to centre distance = 2.7*1+3.5*2 = 9.7m
- Length of joineries needs to be deducted.
7.Work area(2.80 x 2.30)

Total centre line length of beams for first floor = 15.2+1.9+9+7.7+6.7+9.7+7.9+11.4+4.2= 73.7m
let us assume the Beam dimension be - 300*450 mm²
Length of the beam -73.7m
Unit weight of concrete = 25 KN/m³
Volume of concrete = Area of beam* length of beam
Volume of concrete = 0.3m * 0.45m * 73.7 m = 9.95 m³
Self weight of Beam, B1= Volume of concrete * Unit weight of concrete
