INFORMATION SHEET 1.4-1

DRAWING SYMBOLS AND SIGN

Learning Objectives: After reading this information sheet, you must able to:

1. Identify the drawing symbols for masonry


2. Identify the different sign of masonry

Blueprint Symbols

Blueprints

Blueprints are those rolls of blue paper that construction engineers and architects carry
around and pore over at job sites, during technical meetings etc. They are actually white-on-
blue reproductions of technical drawings of engineering or architecture designs made using a
contact print process on light-sensitive paper, sometimes linen, Mylar or imitation vellum.

Reading blueprints need some degree of getting used to especially for non-engineers or
architects. Hundreds of blueprint symbols are used and without any strict international
standards, there may be some minor variations to some of them depending on geographical
location.

A complete set of blueprints for an entire construction project includes but is not limited to
the following types:

Mathematics in Construction
Introduction:
In the real world of building construction there are many rich problems which can
be used to build sense making and reasoning skills for students.

The website “PBS for Teachers” offers ready to use lessons based on NTCM
standards as an example.
Some activities on this site include How many Shingles, Pricing a
Deck, and Fencing the Yard.

The Pythagorean Theorem is used extensively in designing and building structures,


especially roofs.
Gable roofs, for example, are made by placing two right triangles together.
Specialized terms help to explain the triangle relationships in roof construction.

Terminology

The span is the length from the outside wall to the outside wall of a building.
Because construction is often made up of multiple layers of wood, building plans
often provided detailed descriptions to make clear where to begin or end
measurements.

The RUN is one-half the span. Units of run are typically based on 12 inches.

Carpenters do not refer to the angle of a roof as 30 0 or 600, but prefer to use the
pitch of the roof.
The pitch is a ratio of vertical to horizontal measurements.
If a plan calls for a 6/12 pitch roof, then the architect wants the slope of the roof to
go up six inches for every 12 inches of horizontal run. Carpenters prefer to use
Pitch in calculations instead of rise and run.

Key Formulas:

Length of rafter =

Suppose a roof has a rise of 18 inches and a run of 15 feet. How long is the rafter?

Length of rafter =

Only very simple tools are needed to cut r roof rafters such as a saw, framing
square (or carpenters square) and a tape measure.

The framing square is made up of two legs joined at the heel to form a right angle.
The longer leg of the framing square is called the body and the shorter one leg is
called the tongue. To measure a 10/20 roof pitch, place the 10 on the tongue and
the 20 on the body. When a piece of lumber is added to a carpenter’s square, it
becomes a right triangle.

From geometry we know that right triangles are similar
therefore the sides of one triangle is proportional to the sides of the other. When
the Pitch of the two intersecting roofs are not the same, see Gable picture, then the
valley rafter calculation will involve a proportion.

Other formulas needed to work with Roofs are as follows:

Slope Factor =

Fnd the length of the valley rafter given the following measurements.

L1=8 feet, L2=10 feet, Pitch 1 = 1, Pitch 2 = 0.8,

Calculating Scale Factor


To convert an architectural drawing scale to a scale factor:

1. Select the desired scale. 1/8" = 1'-0"


2. Invert the fraction and multiply by 12. 8/1 x 12 = Scale Factor 96

To convert an engineering drawing scale to a scale factor:

1. Select the desired scale. 1" = 20'


2. Multiply the feet by 12. 20 x 12 = Scale Factor 240

If you have two or three children, a 2,000 sq. ft. home might be perfectly comfortable
and inexpensive to build.

Gambrel style homes make sense. Most people still call them barn style houses. Here are
a few small house plans that are really popular right now:

Foundation Plan -This plan shows how the foundation should be built according to the
information from the soil sample. It shows how deep into the ground the footings will go
and it gives the dimensions of the footings. It also shows the dimensions of the
foundation wall and any columns or blocks used in the foundation. It also shows the size
of floor joists and how they are spaced. Finally, it needs to show the vent locations in the
foundation walls.

Floor Plan -This is what most people are familiar with when they are designing a home. It is
sometimes called a home blue print. It is the layout of the exterior and interior walls.

The floor plan house blueprints also needs to include the dimensions for walls, rooms, wall
thickness, windows and doors, kitchen and bath layouts, electrical and plumbing layouts,
stairs, ceilings, and flooring.

Details -this is a plan for some of the smaller things that have special instructions to build.
This is more for the carpenters so they can get a good idea of what the architect has designed,
but inspectors also like to know what's going on. Some of the details might include how a
fireplace should look, stairs and handrails, molding and trim or just anything that is different
from normal houses. The details sheet is part of the house-blueprints and is as many pages as
needed.

Sections -This part of the house-blueprints just show how the parts of a building fit together.
Most of it is common sense, but sometimes walls, stairs, and things like fireplaces need a
little extra explaining to get the clear picture. Like detail plans, the sections plans are more
for the builder than the inspector, but they like to be kept in the loop. House-blueprints need
to fit together seamlessly.
