SCALES
The scales adopted for civil engineering drawings depends upon the degree of
accuracy required.
Drawings for civil engineering range from location maps with ‘Representative
Fraction’ of 1:100,000 to plans and elevations of 1:50. It has been estimated that the
scaled distances may be read only to an accuracy of 0.5mm.
This represents an accuracy of 50m in drawings prepared to a scale of 1:100,000 and
25 mm in drawings to a scale of 1:50.
A range of suitable scales for various purpose are listed in Table. Scales, other than
those recommended in Table should not be used unless there are good reasons for
doing so.
It is not usual for dimensions to be scaled from a civil engineering drawing as errors
will occur due to paper instability caused by shrinkage or expansion.
All dimensions should be clearly indicated on the construction/civil engineering
drawings.
3rd angle:
The third angle projection, each view is so placed that it represents the side of object
near to it in the adjacent view.
As a result, it becomes easier to associate these features at the time to dimensioning
or reading the drawing.
Generally, engineering shapes have some symmetry and it is usually found that three
views namely the plan, the front view and one of the side view are sufficient to
describe the shape completely.
