Calculation of loads ,
1- Dead load of columns-
Dimensions of column = 0.3mx 0.3m(300mm x 300mm)
Height of column = (slab thickness X2 ) + ( height of wall for each floor x 2 )
= ( 0.25 x 2) + ( 3 x 2 ) = 6.5 m
Total volume of concrete - 0.3 x 0.3 x 6.5 = 0.585m3
Unit weight of RCC - 25 KN / M3
Unit weight of building materials used in construction work as per IS 875( part-1)
Dead load of columns= 25 X 0.585= 14.62kN
2- Dead load of beams-
Dimensions of column = 0.3m x 0.45m(300mm x 450mm)
Total volume of concrete - 0.3 x 0.45 x 1 = 0.135m3
Unit weight of RCC - 25 KN / M3
Unit weight of building materials used in construction work as per IS 875( part-1)
Dead load of columns= 25 X 0.135= 3.37KN
3- Dead load of slab -
Slab always designed for the span of 1m
Hence assume size of slab 1m X 1m.
Thickness of slab - 0. 25 m
Unit weight of RCC - 25 KN / M3
Self weight of slab - 1 X1 x 0.25 x 25 = 6.25 KN
- Dead load of wall-
Dead load of external wall
Thickness of external wall - 0. 23 m(230mm)
Unit weight of brick wall - 20 KN / M3
Unit weight of building materials used in construction works as per IS 875 ( part 1)
Height of wall - 3m
Load of wall on beam = 3m x 0.23m x 20 = 13.8 KN .
Dead load of Internal wall
Thickness of external wall - 0. 15 m(150mm)
Unit weight of brick wall - 20 KN / M3
Unit weight of building materials used in construction works as per IS 875 ( part 1)
Height of wall - 3m
Load of wall on beam = 3m x 0.15m x 20 = 9 KN .
- live load of calculation
- Bed room -2 kn /M2
- Living room - 2 kN /M2
- Bath - 2 kN /M2
- Terrace -3kN /M2
- Toilet - 2 kN /M2
- Staircase - 3kN /M2
- Study room - 2KN /M2
- Kitchen - 2kN /M2
- Wind load calculation
Wind load is design only when height of building exceeds 10m
The height of designed building is 6.5 m which is less than 10m
So, the calculation of wind load is not required.
Reference and IS codes used for the design
IS 875:1987,part 1 for Dead load
IS 875 :1987,part 2 for live load
Is 875:1987, part 3 for wind load
IS 456: 2000, for Reinforced concrete.
Results -
- The plan is prepared by using Vastu shastra concept considered all the principal.
- The load calculation are done as per the IS code .
