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

AIM : TO 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.

ALSO , Asuume the sizes of the structural elements and calculate load of the structure .

VAASTU SHASTRA :

Vaastu is the ancient science of architecture and act as a guideline to design your home in a way that enhances positive energy .

• Our nature is abundant with powerhouse of energy sources like Sun ,Moon Water , Earth and Fire .
• Effect of sunrays , flow of winds , pull of earth's magnetic field and other such cosmic energies utilise properly to enhances the positive energy at home .
• A good home needs to radiate the right kind of energy .
• A person dwelling in a house comes under the influence of specific energy field.

VAASTU CONCEPT :

• Entrance of the house is provided in east direction which is the symbol of progress in life .
• Living room is placed in north east direction .
• Master bedroom is placed in south west position brings good health and prosperity .
• kItchen is placed in south east direction .
• Staircase is placed at northwest corner .
• Bathroom , WC and toilet is placed in west direction .

PLAN :

GROUND FLOOR :

FIRST FLOOR :

OTHER DIMENSION :-

1) ALL COLUMN = 300 X 300mm

2) ALL BEAMS = 300 X 450mm

3) Height of wall = 3.6m

4) Slab thickness =125 mm

5) External & Internal Wall thickness = 230 mm

CALCULATION OF LOADS :

1) DEAD LOAD CALCULATION :

a) Dead load of column : -

Size of column = 0.3 m x 0.3m

Height of column = [( Slab thickness x 2 ) + Height of wall for ground floor + height of wall for 1st floor )]

= [ (0.125 x 2 ) + 3.6 + 3.6]

= 7.45

Total volume of one column = 0.3 x 0.3 x 7.45

= 0.67 m^3

Unit weigt of RCC = 25 KN /m^3 .......... [comfirmimg from IS 875 Part I]

DEAD LOAD OF ONE COLUMN = VOLUME OF COLUMN X UNIT WEIGHT OF RCC

= 0.67 X 25

= 16.75 KN .

b) DEAD LOAD OF BEAM : -

Size of beam = 0.3 X 0.45 m

Total volume of beam per meter lenght = 0.3 x 0.45 x 1

= 0.135 m^3

Unit weight of RCC = 25 KN / M^3 .......... [comfirmimg from IS 875 Part I]

Dead load of beam per unit meter length = 25 x 0.135

= 3.375 KN .

c) DEAD LOAD OF SLAB :-

Slab is always designed of 1m^2 hence , assume size of slab 1m x 1m

thichness of slab = 0.125m

Unit weight of RCC = 25 KM/m^2

Total volum of slab per square meter span area = 1 x 1 x 0.125

= 0.125

DEAD LOAD OF SLAB PER Sq. METER AREA = 0.125 x 25

= 3.12 KN.

d) DEAD LOAD OF WALL :-

THICKNESS of external and internal wall = 0.23 m

Unit weight of brick masonsry = 20 KN/m^3

Height of ground floor wall =3.6 m

Height of 1st floor =3.6 m

DEAD LOAD OF GROUND FLOOR WALL PER UNIT METER LENGTH

= VOLUME OF WALL PER METER LENGTH x UNIT WEIGHT OF BRICK MASONRY

= 3.6 X 0.23 X 20

= 16.56 KN.

TOTAL WEIGHT OF BOTH GROUND ANR FIRST FLOOR = 16.56 +16.56

=33.12 KN.

LIVE LOAD CALCULATION :

AS per IS 875part - 2, for residential building , live load are taken as : -

• LIVING ROOM 2 KN/m^2
• KITCHEN 2 KN/m^2
• BED ROOM 2 KN/m^2
• WASH ROOM 2 KN/m^2
• TOILET 2 KN/m^2
• TERRACE 3 KN/m^2
• STAIRCASE 3 KN/m^2

3) WIND LOAD CALCULATION :-

If the height of the building is more then 10m then building need to designed for wind load .

But, in this case, Height of the building is 7.2 m . Thus, Wind Load need not to be considered.

RESULTS :-

The plan of G+1 Floor Residential Building is prepared with consideration of Concept of Vaastu Shastra.

DEAD LOAD OF ONE COLUMN = 16.75 KN .

Dead load of beam per unit meter length = 3.375 KN .

DEAD LOAD OF SLAB PER Sq. METER AREA = 3.12 KN.

TOTAL WEIGHT OF BOTH GROUND ANR FIRST FLOOR = 33.12 KN.

DEAD LOAD OF WALL = 16.1 KN/m
