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

Aim :

       Sketching the G+1 floor residential plan satisfying the Vaastu shastra  and calculating the load acting of the building with giving the  information of the required drawings.

Solutions :

Ground floor

First floor

Opening is provided above the ground level for the aesthetic  look

All doors are inwards

Here

• Main door is facing the north direction
• Toilets are not placed near the kitchen

• Dining area is near to kitchen far from main door

• Bedrooms are placed in southwest and south east where north east is avoided
• All rooms are rectangle in shape
• Centre house is kept empty

• Kitchen is placed in south east direction
• Toilet is north west

• Livingroom is in north west
• No over hanging beams are allowed to rooms
• Pooja room is placed at east

 Required drawings

• centre line drawing
• footing and column layout with reinforcement details
• column schedule with reinforcement details

• plinth beam layout with reinforcement details
• first floor beam layout with reinforcement details
• first floor slab layout with reinforcement details
• lift pit and headroom reinforcement details

 Load calculations

Specify the assumed size of the rooms.

- All columns are 300mm x 300mm

 -All beams are 300mm x 450mm

 -Slab thickness if I25mm

 - The height of the wall is 3m

 Dead leads

A. Column

the height of the column as 3 m

Dead load of the column of size 0.3 x 0.3 x 3

Total volume of the column

= 0.3 x 0.3 x 3

= 0.27 m³

Unit weight of concrete = 25KN/m³

Dead  load of column

    =  unit weight of concrete x volume of concrete

    = 25 KN/m³  x 0.27m³

     = 6.75 KN

B. Beams

Total C/S area of the BEAM

 =0.3 X 0.45

 = 0.135m²

Unit weight of concrete = 25KN/mA3

Dead  load of column

unit weight of concrete X area of concrete

25 KN/m³ X 0.135m²

3.375 KN/m

C.Slobs

Dead load of a slab of 125mm thickness

Unit weight of concrete = 25KN/mA3

self weight of the slab

= unit weight of concrete  x  thickness of concrete

25 KN/m³  x  0.125m

3.125 KN/m²

D.walls

Height of wall 3m

Dead load of a wall of 300mm thickness

Unit weight of brick wall  = 20 KN /m³

self weight of the wall

= unit weight of brick wall x thickness of wall x height of wall

= 20 kN/m³  x  0.3m x  3m

= 18 KN/m

 Live loads

According to the IS 875 (part2) table-1

For the residential buildings use the live load of the UDL 2KN/ m²

For this rooms and bathrooms and no balconies are present in the building.

And near staircase provide the live load on UDL 3KN/ m²

Here since it is the house the live load of the 2KN/m² is adopted on the slabs from IS 875 - part 2 Table-1

Wind load calculations

since, height of the building is less than 10 m wind load calculation is not implemented on the building

where total height of building is 3m+3m = 6m.
