Ratios
• To scale an SI drawing (SI International System
of Units), multiply the measurement on the
drawing with the denominator, where the
denominator is the number after the colon.
SCALE READING AND DIMENSIONING
A dimension is a numerical value expressed in
appropriate units of measurement and used to
define the size, location, orientation, form or
other geometric characteristics of a part.

PLOT DRAWINGS
• Features of plot drawings – a plot drawing is usually called a plot plan or a site plan. It is a view
from above the property that shows the location of the building on the lot. Many features as listed
below may be shown on the plot plan:
• Topographic features – the topography (location and elevation of features) is often displayed on the plot
plan. Topographic features include natural objects such as trees or shrubs and human made objects.
• Plot plans should also include a list of symbols used to identify features. This is called a “legend”.

• Common Topographical symbols
PLOT DRAWINGS
• Building location – an outline of the structure is shown on the plot plan. Often the elevation of the first
floor is also included. The distances from the property lines to the building are shown. Most local building
codes specify a minimum distance between the building and the property lines. This distance is called a
“setback distance”. This distance can also be shown on the plot plan. The connections between the
main utility lines and the building are shown on the plot plan. Underground pipes and cables are
shown as dashed lines. These lines are identified on the drawing using abbreviations defined in the
legend.

• Waterproofing foundations – waterproofing of foundation walls is needed in areas where soil and
climatic conditions demand protection from underground water.
Drawings for a foundation to be waterproofed will have a heavy black line on the exterior wall with a note
indicating location. A layer of crushed rock or gravel is laid below the floor area. This layer is then
covered with a heavy plastic vapour barrier to keep the dampness in the ground from transferring to
the slab.
• Mat foundations - A mat or raft foundation is a single combined footing for an entire building unit.

• Columns - A column can be defined as a
vertical structural member designed to
transmit a compressive load. A Column
transmits the load from ceiling/roof slab and
beam, including its own weight to the
foundation. Hence it should be realized that
the failure of a column results in the collapse
of the entire structure.

• A reinforced concrete RC element (say column)can be defined as a structural member with a steel
frame (reinforcement bars) composed of concrete that is been designed to carry loads.
• A girder is a support beam used in construction. It is the main horizontal support of a structure which
supports smaller beams.
• The oldest is the beam and girder system, whose form was derived from wood ... construction: slabs
rest on beams, beams rest on girders.
• The most common reinforced masonry beam is a lintel. Lintels are beams that support masonry over
openings

STRUCTURAL STEEL
Trusses – a beam of given strength, without intermediate supports below, can support a given load over only a
certain maximum span. If the span is wider than this maximum, the beam must have intermediate supports,
such as columns. Sometimes it is not feasible to install intermediate supports. In these cases, a truss may be
used instead of a beam.
A truss is a framework consisting of two horizontal members joined together by a number of vertical and/or
inclined members to form a series of triangles. The loads are applied at the joints. The horizontal members
are called the upper or top chords and lower or bottom chords. The vertical and/or inclined members that
connect the top and bottom chords are called web members.

STRUCTURAL STEEL
The cross section of a wide flange beam (WF) is in the form of the letter H. Wide flange shapes are used as
beams, columns, truss members and in any other applications where their shape makes their use desirable.
Beams – a beam is identified by its nominal depth, in inches and weight per foot of length.

Beams – a beam is identified by its nominal depth, in inches and weight per foot of length.
STRUCTURAL STEEL
Channels – a cross section of a channel is similar to the squared letter C. Channels are identified by their
nominal depth and weight per foot. Channels are principally used in locations where a single flat face without
outstanding flanges on a side is required. However, the channel is not very efficient as a beam or column when
used alone. But the channels may be assembled together with other structural shapes and connected by rivets
or welds to form efficient build ups.
STRUCTURAL STEEL
Angles – the cross section of an angle resembles the letter L. Angles are identified by the dimensions in
inches of their legs. Angles may be used single or in combinations of two or four angles to form members.
Angles also are used to connect main members or parts of members together.
STRUCTURAL STEEL
Tees – a structural tee is made by slitting a standard I or H beam through the center of its web, thus forming
two T-shapes from each beam. A rolled tee is a manufactured shape.
STRUCTURAL STEEL
Zee – these shapes are noted by depth, flange width and weight per linear foot.

Plates – plates are noted by width, thickness and length
