EDD 141 - Structural Drafting

 
Description
This course emphasizes design drawing and detailing of steel structures. Topics include columns and base plates, beams, structural arrangement drawings, connection details and shop drawings using CAD. Both bolted and welded connections are designed and detailed using American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC)standards.

1. Draw the assigned structural steel shapes as specified in the AISC manual.
2. Prepare a structural steel framing plan according to specifications including notes, dimensions and loads needed for the preparation of shop drawings by the structural detailer.
3. Prepare a connection detail of a beam to beam and beam to column bolted connection.
4. Prepare shop drawings of beams and columns for a given structural steel framing plan.
5. Calculate the end reactions of a simple beam having uniform loads using the AISC Manual of Steel Construction and of a simple beam having concentrated loads.
6. Identify the eight basic parts of an American Welding Society (AWS) standard weld symbol.
7. Draw a standard weld symbol according to given criteria.
8. Draw an anchor bolt plan for a given structural steel framing plan.
9. Calculate the diameter and number of high strength bolts needed in single shear and double shear simple beam connections using the AISC manual
10. Define the terms beam, reactions, moment and equilibrium.
11. Sketch examples of uniform loads and concentrated loads.
