Size of beam : 0.23 m× 0.45m

Wall thickness : 0.23m

Height of wall/column : 3.5m

Loads :

  • Dead load of column = 0.23×0.45×3.5×25=9.05kN
  • Dead load of wall per meter = 0.23×3.5×20=16.1kN/m
  • Dead load of beam per meter = 0.23×0.45×25=2.58kN/m
  • Dead load of Slab per sqm = 0.15 × 25 × =3.75kN/m^2
  • Live load on living/dining, bedroom, toilet kitchen,  store = 2kN/m^2
  • Live load on staircase, terrace = 3kN/m^2
  • Live load is taken form IS 875 part 2
