HT of wall for. Each floor - 3m

Vastu shastra followed during planning

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

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 .
