8.1 The types of design and drafting activities that make up amajor structural design project is understood and used to informpersonal work practices.8.2 The interaction required between disciplines to ensure that allaspects of the project are considered prior to commencing detaileddrafting is understood and used to inform personal workpractices.8.3 Drawings from other major disciplines involved in a majordesign project which need to be interpreted in order to avoidunnecessary construction clashes is understood and used toinform personal work practices.

Drafting in its broad sense involves the depiction of “items” of somesort so that the “item” can be constructed, commercially manufacturedor simply created. Since these depictions or drawings are usuallydistributed on paper hard copy, we can only portray in twodimensional drawings. Therefore drafting generally involves theportrayal of three dimensional objects into two dimensional drawings.

Structural steel design layout and/or detail drawings must clearlyshow:




V2-2013


• the nominal loading, fire resistance and corrosion protectionrequirements

• steel grades, sizes and member designations

• number, size and categories of bolts and welds (including

testing if required)

• connection details, joint and splice details

• member camber and any construction or fabrication constraints.

Each drawing needs to provide all the information necessary for theconstruction of the steel work and to ensure clarity, should omitirrelevant details.

Drawing, section and detail references should be given to linkeddrawings for individual details or associations with other componentsand any included schedules.

Written descriptions on drawings need to be clear and concise. Anyspecial requirements relating to construction details should be noted orreferenced on the drawing to enable inclusion in construction.

Overall clarity of detailing and dimensioning is essential and alwaysremember:

If it is not on the drawing it won’t get built!

Topic 1 - Design Layout Drawings – Plans,Elevations and Sections

Learning outcomesUpon the successful completion of this topic, you will be able to:

• Read, interpret and extract relevant information from thestructural steel project specifications. [LO1]

• Interpret and apply relevant codes. . [LO2]

• Draw structural steel line. [LO3]

Introduction to topicStructural steel design drawings are required to provide the necessarydimensioned setout of all the structural component of the work. Thefull set of contract documents produced for construction may or maynot include a set of fully dimensioned architectural drawings.

If included, the architectural drawings will show fully dimensioneddetails and all applied finishes that are required for the completedconstruction. It is normal practice that the architectural drawings willalso show all the structural component dimensions as well, however the

structural steel design drawings will always specify the structuraldesign member sizes.

Design layout drawings are required to provide all the informationnecessary for the construction of the work shown and should omitirrelevant non-structural details. Information to be shown on thedrawings shall include any required design information and such itemsas are specified in the respective structural design codes, or asinstructed by the designer.

References should be given to associated drawings for particular details

or for showing the relationship with other components, and toschedules.

The design of any structure is a progressive process, very often thestructural outlines and profile sizes will be known well in advance ofthe finer details of specific connections. The design layout drawingswill be issued early in the documentation of a project so that all otherdisciplines can coordinate their work. The design layout drawings arealso used to assist the design engineer to complete design and sketchingof final detail requirements.

Session 1.1 Framing Plans

Structural steel framing members are generally much more slender thanthe outline profiles of concrete members used in reinforced concreteconstruction. Whereas reinforced concrete plans and elevationdrawings show the concrete outline and then proceed to detail specificreinforcement, because the structural steel members are much finer,steel drawings show members as line diagrams which are thendeveloped to show enlarged scale connection details.

Activity 1A Read text

1. Refer to AS 4100 and read Section 1

2. Refer to AS 1100.501 and read Section 1

A typical steel building structure will incorporate columns, beams,

It is important that before you start any drawing work to make sureyou read through all the Activity requirements first. This will ensureyou get a clear picture of the final activity outcome and that youformulate your proposal of what to do along the way. The activitiesshown in this course document are not necessarily designed to be a stepby step, do part 1 then move onto part 2, type of exercise. You areexpected to formulate a plan of completion and bring in all the exerciseslearned from RMIT CIVE5575 – CAD basic feature 2D drawing andRMIT CIVE5576 – CAD advanced extended feature 2D drawing studiedpreviously.

Nor are all activities completed necessarily an assessment item. Someof the following activities are to be completed as part of your personalfolio development or are to be completed progressively as part of yourfinal projects.

Remember that a lot of the work in completing a drawing is notnecessarily done using a computer and software. Planning the finalresult is often some of the best spent time; it can save you many hours,false starts and restarts, particularly when you get into some morecomplicated projects.




V2-2013


Once the plan has been drawn the various elevations can be produced.Refer to CIVE5575 - CAD basic feature 2D drawings for standarddrawing scales used for structural plans and details and remember thatthe relative scale of a drawing is related to the final plotted/printed textsize.

Structural drafting utilises third angle orthographic projection to depictthe three dimensional structure as a set of two dimensional drawings.

The structural steel layout or General Arrangement drawings are usedto show the basic framework and dimensional setout of theconstruction. They show the position of the main components of theframing and often will include the dimensional relationships. Thelayout or general arrangement drawings are usually drawn full sizeand then are scaled at 1:100 (or sometimes 1:50) and hard copies orprints made to issue to other contractors and construction personnel.The layout drawings show all the major views of the framework

including plans, elevations and relevant sections. Because structuralsteelwork layout drawings depict thin slender members, the sizes of themembers are usually shown in some sort of table or member schedule.

Once the general arrangement layout drawings are completed (or atleast underway) the detailed drawings are commenced. These showthe main connection details required for the completed structure. Oftenthese will show typical details of the work plus any specific connectiondetails required by the design. These drawings are also drawn full sizeand are generally scaled to 1:10 or 1:20 for printing and issue to other

contractors and to the construction personnel, other scales are used as

Topic 2 - Bolting and bolted connection selectionand detailing


• Detail bolted connections. [LO7]

Three main types of metric bolt are used in structural engineering inAustralia:

• Commercial bolts to AS 1111, strength grade 4.6

• Medium strength or tower bolts to AS 1559, strength grade 5.6

• High strength structural bolts to AS 1252, strength grade 8.8

Commercial bolts strength grade 4.6 and high strength bolts strength grade8.8 are the two main types of bolts used in general structural steelconstruction. Design provisions for these two types of structural boltsare contained in AS 4100.

Relevant material standards referenced by AS 4100 are the currenteditions of:

• AS 1110 ‘ISO metric hexagon precision bolts and screws’

• AS 1111 ‘ISO metric hexagon commercial bolts and screws’

• AS 1112 ‘ISO metric hexagon nuts, including thin nuts, slottednuts and castle nuts.’

• AS 1252 ‘High strength steel bolts with associated nuts andwashers for structural engineering’

• AS 1275 ‘Metric screw threads for fasteners

The strength of metric structural bolts is specified in terms of the tensilestrength of the bolt and defined according to the ISO strength gradesystem which consists of two numbers separated by a point, forexample 4.6. The first number of the designation represents onehundredth of the nominal tensile strength (MPa) and the numberfollowing the point represents the ratio between nominal yield stressand nominal tensile strength.




V2-2013


For example a grade 4.6 bolt has:

Tensile strength of 400 MPa

Yield stress of 0.6 x 400 = 240 MPa

Topic 3 - Welding and welded connectionselection and detailing

Learning outcomes

Upon the successful completion of this topic, you will be able to:

• Apply knowledge of weld types and requirements for field andsite welds. [LO4]

The aim of welding within a structure is to provide a connectionmechanism that will maintain the specified structural performancethroughout the design life of the structure.

Electric arc welding is used as a versatile method for joining steelcomponents within shop fabrication and on site applications.

The main areas of application are:

Shop fabrication

• Joining members together

• Joining plates to form fabricated sections such as plate girders etc

• Attaching stiffeners and cleat plates

• Attaching end plates and temporary connections

Site work

• Beam to beam or beam to column connections

• Member splices

• Strengthening existing structural members

• Jointing plates for silos or other plated type structures

Two main types of arc welding are used in structural engineering inAustralia:

• fillet welding

• butt welding

Additionally there are numerous other types of weld used in fabricationbut these are the major structural types.

Design provisions for these two types of weld are contained in AS 4100.




V2-2013


Welding shall comply with AS/NZS 1554.1, AS 1554.2 or AS/NZS 1554.5, asappropriate; welds shall be butt, fillet, and slot or plug welds, or compoundwelds.

Weld quality shall be either SP or GP as specified in AS/NZS 1554.1. Weldquality shall be specified on the design drawings.

Complete and incomplete penetration buttwelds

Complete penetration butt weld—a butt weldin which fusion exists between the weldand parent metal throughout the complete

depth of the joint.

Incomplete penetration butt weld—a buttweld in which fusion exists over less thanthe complete depth of the joint.

Fillet welds

The size of a fillet weld is specified by the leg lengths. The leg lengths

are the lengths of the sides lying along the legs of a triangle inscribedwithin the cross-section of the weld. When the legs are of equal length,the size is specified by a single dimension (tw).

The preferred sizes of a fillet weld less than 15 mm are—3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10and 12 mm. (This allows single weld pass.)

Topic 4 - Design Detail Drawings - fabrication anderection requirements

Learning outcomes


• Interpret and apply relevant codes. [LO1]

Once the general arrangement design layout drawings are completed,or at least underway, work can commence on the design detaildrawings.

The design detail drawings show the actual connection layouts and

geometry and provide enough information to enable shop fabricationdrawings to be produced. Shop fabrication drawings are used by thesteel fabricators to cut and shape the steel sections, to weld cleats andplates and to provide all necessary holes and bolts for the erectionprocedure.

Design detail drawings are usually drawn at a scale of 1:10 but smallerscales such as 1:5, 1:2 and sometimes 1:1 can also be used.

Topic 5 - Protective coatings

Learning outcomes


• Specify appropriate protective coatings. [LO6]

Bare steel will only corrode in the presence of both oxygen andmoisture and the corrosion will be accelerated when the steel issubjected to polluted environments or chemicals.

Steel inside a sealed building such as a multi-story structure is rarely atrisk of corrosion, similarly steelwork within factory or warehouse type

structures are at negligible risk of corrosion.

However bare steel is not exactly ‘pretty’ to look at and mostowners/architects/designers require some form of protective ordecorative coating. Painting, powder coating and galvanizing are justthree of the methods used to coat and protect structural steelwork fromcorrosion.

There is a very large selection of paint systems available for structuralsteel, one of the most commonly used paints is red oxide zinc chromateprimer (ROZC) which is applied over a wire brushed steel surface

while another commonly used paint is inorganic zinc silicate primerwhich is applied over class 21/2 sand blasted steel surfaces. Otherfinishing paint coats are then applied to the primed steel.

Galvanizing is a method of coating and protecting steel by dipping thesteel members into a molten zinc bath.

AS/NZS 2312 “Guide to the protection of structural steel againstatmospheric corrosion by the use of protective coatings” gives guidanceon the performance and capabilities of various paint systems.

Activity 5A Access the RMIT Australian Standardslibraries database and read text

Topic 6 - Coordinating Work with Other Peopleand Disciplines


• Consider other design and drafting disciplines involved in astructural design project. [LO8]

A construction project is generally a specific one-off activity with aprecise end result, the construction of ‘something’. The project can bedivided into subprojects that must be completed and accomplished in

order to achieve the final project aims.

A construction project is a complicated exercise that requires thesubtasks to be carefully coordinated and controlled in terms of timing,costs, precedence and performance of participating parties. Often anindividual project must be coordinated with other projects carried outby the design office.

Most projects go through similar stages from their instigation to theircompletion; this is known as the project life-cycle. The project iscommenced, a project team is setup and a work schedule is organized.

The project starts and momentum builds quickly, progress is maderapidly, this continues until the end of the project is in sight when itseems that all work stops or at least slows down. Often this happensbecause there is a change in the resources that the project members cancommit, also because some members of the team “drag their feet” forwhatever reason.

In most engineering and design offices, projects undergo a similarsequence – a “slowish” start – rapid progression through the bulk of thework – slow completion.

The coordination cycle can be almost the inverse of this process;coordination often needs to be concentrated at the beginning of a designproject – the design development stage, it can lessen off during theproduction stage (there is still coordination required though) andsometimes needs to be accentuated during the final stages of a projectwhen all the various discipline activities come together.

In the construction of any building works there are a large number ofdisciplines and trades involved. Many of these have their own drawingstandards and methods however they all need to come together toenable the economical and effective completion of the construction

project.
