STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS OF A BUILDING IN A 20 X 36 PLOT: PART-1

What is a Structural Drawing: After the completion of the Architectural Plan of Building the next step is creation of the structural drawings, it can be defined as a drawing which contains the details of all the structural members of the building,

An Architectural Drawing or a Floor Plan contains the dimensions and positioning of all the rooms and components of a particular floor in a building.

Why is it required: It is required because before constructing any building we need to know the sizes of different structural members like beam, column, foundation, slab, staircase etc. Also we need to know the layout (where they will be placed) and the reinforcement schedule (schedule of reinforcement bars or rebars).
What will happen if we do construction without any structural drawing : A structural Engineer prepares these structural drawings after proper calculation of all the loads to be considered in that particular zone where the building is going to be constructed as per the latest standard codal provisions. Examples of these loads are dead load, live load, Seismic load, Wind Load etc. It is also taken care that any structural member size and reinforcement (for RCC Buildings) is not overdone and the structure is also safe. So the safety and economy both are taken care of by the structural engineer or structural consultant in the structural drawings given.

There are many cases in which some persons don’t wish to pay the required fees of the structural consultant, then they give the structural member specification as per the experience of the contractor or any other experienced person who has constructed a building earlier. But doing so they may either compromise with the safety of the structure which can lead to disaster or else the design will add a large amount of extra cost to the project which will be much more than the fees they had to pay to any structural consultant.

How to study the Reinforcement Drawings of beams which have been generated in TSD.

Tekla Structural Designer is advanced software used for Structural Analysis and Design of a Building. In Tekla, we can do the detailing of steel structures as well as RCC structures. We can create RCC buildings and we can insert the rebars in Tekla structures Designer software. We can also do the form works and structural drawing without the help of any other software. Let’s go step by step to learn how to study the Reinforcement Drawings of beams that have been generated in TSD. Step 1 As we can see, this building has been fully designed and analysed. Now, just right click on the beam then click on the report for the member and it will generate the report for the member and we will see this and after that, we can also check the file for the particular beam. Fig.1 Step 2 Now we have 3 numbers of sections, for each beam, it has been made and the respective cross-section is also given. Step 3 Now if we just go through the drawing, we can see that we have 2 ba...

How to Provide Reinforcement in multiple columns in Tekla Structures

Tekla Structures is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software able to model structures that incorporate different kinds of building materials, including steel, concrete, timber and glass. However it is widely used for the detailing of structural drawing. In this blog, we are going to discuss how to provide reinforcement in multiple columns in Tekla Structures. So let's start the step by step procedure Step 1 : At first we must make sure that our model is correct and after that we will look for the column reinforcement application. Step 2 : Search result will give us lots of options which includes application of column (for both the RCC and steel). Step 3 : Now from there we have to select an app for RCC. column. Step 4 : We will go for Application no. 57 which is "Column automated reinforcement layout". Step 5 : Select and define the application according to our requirement. Now select all the columns by dragging the mouse from right...

STAAD Pro Vs Tekla Structural Designer .Which One Is Better ?

Tekla Structural Designer (TSD) is a simple, integrated design & analysis software that enables engineers to deliver safe, effective and rationalized design more quickly, regardless of structural material. Reinforcement drawings for the entire building or tonnes of steel for estimating and many more. So in the above image you can see the first image is created in Tekla Structural Designer (TSD) and in the second image the model has been created in Staad Pro . we can start the comparison with the grid lines. So for creating grid lines in staad we need to enter the coordinates from the beam column plan as shown in fig.1 and we need to insert it while viewing the beam column plan. Fig 1 We can create grid lines in Tekla Structural Designer directly and in addition you can also import the beam column plan as shadow as shown in fig 2 . Fig. 2 • Next step is adding members in staad pro so in addition we need to see the beam colu...
