Structural Detailing Intro

This document provides an introduction to structural steel detailing and framing plans. It discusses the purpose of engineering drawings and shop drawings in structural design. Engineering drawings provide an overall view of structural components, dimensions, and notes, while shop drawings contain more detailed connection and fabrication details. The document also describes common steel shapes like universal beams, channels, and angles used in construction. Finally, it explains how to prepare column and beam framing plans, including laying out the grid, labeling members, and adding dimensions and notes. Framing plans are coded to identify connection details and are an important part of structural steel design.

STEEL STRUCTURAL DETAILING
INTRODUCTION
In construction, anything composed of parts is called a structure. To design, manufacture and put
the various parts together to form a complete structure, structural drawings must be prepared.
Draftsmen are tasked to prepare two types of drawings:
1. Engineering Drawings are used to provide an overall picture of a job.
a) Location of structural components like columns, beams and girders
b) Basic dimensions
c) Typical sections & notes
2. Shop Drawings are much more detailed.
a) Connection details
b) Fabrication details
c) Bill of materials
Engineering and Shop Drawings may be combined into one set to form Working Drawings.
STRUCTURAL STEELWORK IN GENERAL
Structural Steel is produced in rolling mills in standard shapes as shown below:

Grades and Standard Sections


Three grades of Steel are available:
a) Grade 43 : Mild Steel
b) Grade 50 : High Yield Steel
c) Grade 55 : High Yield Steel
Steel produced at rolling mills is formed into various shapes. Properties of these shapes are
standardized and dimensions are detailed in handbooks.

STEEL STRUCTURAL DETAILING


PRACTICAL EXERCISE No. 1
STRUCTURAL SHAPES
Problem : Given the table for detailing various steel shapes and following the standard detailing
dimensions as shown in the sketch for each table, draw the following shapes using a scale of 1:20:
a) 305 x 165 x 40 UB
b) 203 x 133 x 30 UB
c) 254 x 254 x 89 UC
d) 356 x 368 x 153 UC
e) 178 x 102 Joist
f) 152 x 76 Channel
g) 229 x 89 Channel
h) 40 x 40 x 6 Angle
i) 60 x 60 x 8 Angle
j) 125 x 75 x 10 Angle
Notes: a) Observe proper weight of lines ( 0.50 for object lines, 0.18 for dimension lines)
b) Name each drawing by their standard designation ( text font=arial, height = 50mm)

STRUCTURAL STEEL FRAMING PLANS


A Structural Steel Framing Plan is a plan view representation showing all columns, beams,
girders, joists and other framing members as they will appear when the frame is erected. They are
of two types:
a) Column Framing Plan : shows the vertical structural members(columns) and the
foundations on which they bear. It also includes the column schedule and is drawn in the
same sheet. Column framing plans are prepared as follows:
1. Examine the schematics and select an appropriate scale.
2. Layout centerline of column grid lines.
3. Label vertical centerlines with letters and horizontal centerlines with numbers.
4. Draw the foundations, put dimensions and a North arrow.
5. Add the column schedule.

b) Beam Framing Plan : shows the horizontal structural members (beams, girders, joists).
Floor and roof framing plans are commonly referred to as beam framing plans. The plan is
coded to identify connections that require details. For common details, the following
abbreviations are used: Sim two mor more connections with the same details ,
Opp Hd meaning opposite hand, applies to connection details that are exactly opposite.
Beam framing plans are prepared as follows:

1.
2.
3.
4.

Examine the schematics and select an appropriate scale.


Layout column grid lines and draw columns.
Label vertical centerlines with letters and horizontal centerlines with numbers.
Draw all horizontal members(beams, girders and joists) and label each member
with the proper shape designation.
5. Label the top of steel elevation for each beam or indicate on the drawing as a note.
6. Complete the plan by adding dimensions, notes, connection detail designations and
a North arrow.
