Steps

A. Dead Load Calculation

1. First calculate the area of each component.
i.e., Area= Length*Breadth
2. Multiply the area with height of the corresponding component to get its volume
i.e., Volume = Area*Height
3. Dead weight of the component = Unit Weight*Volume
You can get unit weight of various materials from IS 875 Part-1.

B. Live Load Calculation

1. Live Load= Area of slab*Live Load Intensity.

You can get live load intensity from IS 875 Part-2.
Ground Floor

Area Calculation
i. Area of slab
Main slab, Asm = 402.202 m2
Cantilever slab, Asc = 40.192 m2
ii. Area of beam
a. Along alphabetic grid
Major Beam
AaB= 16*6.553*0.380
= 39.842 m2
Secondary Beam
No secondary beam.
b. Along numeric grid
Major Beam
AnB = (4*6.248+ 4*6.401 + 8* 4.191 + 2*3.505) *0.380
= 34.631 m2
Secondary Beam
Anb = (3*6.248 + 2*6.401) *0.20
= 6.309 m2
iii. Area of column
Aco = 23*0.5*0.5 = 5.750 m2
iv. Area of outer wall
Prefab wall, Afw = Total Length*Thickness
= (3*5.944 + 2*5.639 + 1*5.791 + 3*3.581) *0.075
= 3.423 m2
Area after 30% Deduction for openings,
Apw = 2.396 m2
Shear wall, Asw = Total Length*Thickness
= (1*3.581 + 3*5.944 + 1*3.023) *0.230
= 5.620 m2
Area after 30% Deduction of for openings,
 Asw = 3.934m2
Load Calculation
i. Load due to partition wall = load intensity * slab area
= 0.44 * 402.202
= 176.968 KN

ii. Load due to floor finishing = load intensity * slab area

= 1 * 402.202
= 402.202 KN
Dead load calculation is as shown in the table III.2.5
