STRUCTURAL DRAWING FOR DETAILING SECTION-3,SP 34 Prepared by Ankammarao
The structural drawing for a large project should generally be of one size. Size of Drawing
The title block is an important feature is an drawing and should be placed at the bottom right-hand corner of the sheet, where it is readily seen when the prints are folded in the prescribed manner. The size of the title block recommended is 185 X 65 mm. Separate sheets should be used for each type of structural member or unit so that a floor slab would be detailed on one sheet, beams on another, and columns on a further sheet, etc
Scales shall be so chosen as to bring out the details clearly and to keep the drawings within workable size. The choice of scale will depend at the discretion of the detailer/designer. Some commonly used scales PLAN – 1:100, 1:50 ELEVATION - 1:5, 1:30 SECTION - 1:50, 1:30, 1:25, 1:20, 1:15, 1:10 Scale of Drawing
The overall sizes of the concrete members shall include the sizes of any necessary chamfers and fillets at corners. Also, the exact position, shape, size and spacing of there in reinforcement within concrete members, as well at the required dimensions of the concrete cover to the reinforcement. The beams, wall slabs, floor slabs and columns, etc, the main dimensions of the structure, such as the distances between columns, heights between floors, beam and column sizes, and floor and wall thicknesses, etc , as calculated by the design engineer shall also be shown on the drawings. Structural drawings prepared by the designer shall show details of reinforcement and all other information needed for detailing the reinforcement, and. grade of steel, number of bars to be lapped and lengths of the laps Information to be Shown on Structural Drawings
To ensure that all the reinforcement is properly placed or positioned in a unit , longitudinal section or cross-section should be shown in addition to plan and elevation of the unit on which the bars are shown. All bars, straight or bent requiring hooks bends shall be properly designated by the designer or a note to this effect included in the drawing. Lengths of lap, points of bend, cut-off bars should be specified by the designer. The dimensions L/7, L/ 5 and L/4, etc. Wherever possible all control and construction joints should he indicated on structural drawings and constructional details provided for such joints.
