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

 Aim : sketch a  G +1 residential plan according to vastu shastra

Procedure: draw a plan according to vastu shastra 

Site Selection and Measurements of Site: 

For any building land is the basic requirements and utmost care should be taken in it selection. Land with low soil density is preferable for home. In Vastu Shastra  square and rectangular shape considered as auspicious, whereas triangular , polygonal and other odd shape are inauspicious. 

2. Determination of Direction :

It is very important to know right direction to Planning a building according to Vastu Shastra. In ancient days gnomon is used for determining East -West line. A cone sat on the ground to observe its shadow throughout the day to determine true East -West line. Today we have magnetic compss, Now we can easily find out North direction. But Vastu direction is not always same to magnetic North .it may differ place to place. The needle of magnetic compass often be fluctuated by Electric line , Iron etc.  Therefore you need to be careful when using magnetic compass. 

3. Effects of 32 Main Entrance : 

The Loaction of Main Entrance is very important for Vastu Plan . There are a total 32 entrances on all four sides. Eight Main Entrances in Each Side. For Vastu Home design only 9 (Nine) Doors are auspicious among 32 Entrances . For north facing house plans Soma, Bhallat , Mukhya pada cosidered as auspicious. Jayant and Mahendra pada are auspicious for east facing house plans . Vitatha and Grihakhat are the two pada in South which is considered auspicious for south facing house plans In West Side two pada name Pushadant and Sugreev are good Entance for west facing house plans , Varun Pada also considered auspicious door location for west facing propety.

Calculation of 32 Nos Main Entrance : Total Degree = 360

Total Sides = 4 ( East , South , West , North )

Total Entrance = 32

Each Side = 360 / 4 = 90 degree.

Each Side Entrance = 32/4 = 8 nos.

Each Entrance Measurement : 90/8 = 11.25 degree.

4. Casting Of Vastu Purusha Mandala 

Casting of Vastu Purusha Mandala one of Vital steps for Vastu Planning and design. All Vastu text mention a grafical representation of deity on a Vastu Space ( I. E Plot  ). 45 invisible Energy fields distributed in different area of your Vastu Space. Design sholuld done after superimpose the Vastu purusha mandal properly on the plot. The Vastu Purusha mandal is the master grid of Vastu plans and design.

Each zone have its own attributes and effect. Placement of bed room , toilets , stair, kitchen ,dining , drawing room , living room , interior a lot depends on 16 Zones . The concept of 16 zones are taken from Viswakarma Prakash Book.

   The structural needed to be brought to the site are::

• Trench Plan or Excavation Plan (according to Centreline Markings on site)
• Foundation Plan.
• Column Layouts.
• Plinth Beam Layouts.
• Roof Beam and Slab Layouts.

column size = 0.3x0.3m2

beam size =0.3x0.45m2

height of room = 4.5m

bedroom = 4.25x4.8 m2

kitchen =3.05 x 4.8 m2

toilet = 2.5x1.5m2

store =2.5x1.5m2

pooja=2.5x1.5m2

hall =6.4x6.7m2

master bedroom =3.05x4.8m2

staircase = 2.5x2m2

calculating dead load 

dead load of columns = assuming columns are at every corner of the building

                                   lengthxbreadthxheightxunitweight of concrete

                                   = 4 x0.3x0.3x0.45x25 =4.05kn

dead loads of beams = lengthxbreadthxheightxunitweight of concrete

                               = calculationg each beams =8.201kn

dead load of slabs = considering thickness of slab = 250mm

                            = density x thickness = 25 x0.25 =6.25kn/m2

                            = total area =123.375sqm

                            =6.25x123.375=771.09kn

total dead load = 783.34kn

calculating live load

bedroom = 2kn/m2

kitchen =2kn/m2

toilet = 2kn/m2

store =3kn/m2

pooja=2kn/m2

hall =2kn/m2

master bedroom =2kn/m2

staircase = 3kn/m2

total live load =18kn/m2

calculating wind load :

IS 875 1987 part 4

wind pressure at height 10m Pz = 0.6 Vz^2

design wind speed Vz =Vb +k1+k2+k3+k4

           Vb   basic wind speed = 39m/s kozhikode, kerala

           from table 1, clause 6.3.1 , k1 = 1.0

                   table 2, clause 6.3.2.2, k2 =1.05 from category one, exposed terrain

                    table 3, clause 6.3.3 , k3 =1

                    table 4, clause 6.3.4 , k4 = 1

Vz = 39x 1 x1.05x1 =40.95

Pz= 1006.1415N/m2 WIND LOAD

RESULTS

total dead load = 783.34kn

total live load =18kn/m2

Pz= 1006.1415N/m2 WIND LOAD
