Construction Drawings in Steel, Concrete and Masonry

Roof System

is the uppermost building assembly that protects occupants and transfers loads to structures, and ultimately protects the building from weather and environmental exposure.

one-slab

A slab reinforce in 1 direction is a -

Stringer beam

refers to a beam that is located along the side of the stair that supports the stair slab or steps

Aluminum Roofing

uses blind rivets

Angles bars

are used for Trusses

Beams

transfer load directly from the slab to columns in a beam-and-slab floor system.

Boundary elements in RC walls

strengthen the edges of walls where stresses are highest.

Channel Sections

are used for framing around openings

RC Concrete

Commonly used for foundation construction

Concrete Components

Cement sand gravel and water

Stringers

Ensures safe movement between floors

Dome Roof

Example of RC Shell

Foundation Plan

layout and sizes of structural elements below grade

Waffle Slab

Has grid-like patterns

Stringer slab

Inclined slab of a stair that supports the steps and carries the loads to the support?

Lean or mass concrete follow a —— ratio

1:3:6

Live Load

temporary load

Mortar

bonds masonry units and distributes loads between them

Main reinforcement bars

Place parallel to the slope of the stair to resist tensile stresses caused by bending

Waist Slab

Primary support along the slope of an RC staircase is

Proper curing of concrete walls

allows concrete to achieve its intended strength and durability

Raft/Mat Foundations

used when soil bearing capacity is low.

RC Concrete

combines concrete with steel reinforcement

RC Walls

are designed to resist COMPRESSION, TENSION, SHEAR AND BENDING

RC walls

are used in Multi-floor Buildings since they provide HIGH STENGTH AND RESISTANCE TO VERTICAL AND LATERAL LOADS.

Distribution Reinforcement

Reinforcement in an RC stair that is used to control cracking due to shrinkage and temperature.

Column or load-bearing wall

Responsible for transferring loads from the stair slab to the foundations through vertical support

Ribbed Slabs

are supported directly by columns without beams

L-Shaped

Shape of an angle bar

Steel base plate

distributes column loads to foundation

Steel

has the highest strength-to-weight ratio

Steel reinforcement

is added to masonry walls to improve the tensils strength of masonry structures.

Concrete

Strong in compression but weak in tension

Isolate Footing

Supports individual Columns

Purlins

Support roof sheeting

Landing Slab

Supports the stair flights and provide a resting platform

Thickened Slab portions

near columns in flat plate systems PREVENT PUNCHING SHEAR

Brown Coat

This layer levels the wall surface

Light Gauge Metal Channel

Used for purlins in GI roofing

Water-cement ration affects concrete strength

Yes

Dead Load

Which load refers to the weight of roofing material and structural components

Which type of beam projects beyond its support and carries loads beyond the extended portion

Cantilever Beam

Connect stair flights and helps transfer loads to columns or walls

Landing Beam

Wood

most vulnerable to termite attacks if not properly treated
