INTRODUCTION

What is Structural Steel Detailing? Structural Steel Detailing is the process of converting design drawings (engineering drawings / contract drawings) to shop drawings (fabrication drawings) to facilitate easy and speedy fabrication of structural members in shop. What are Design drawings? Design drawings are the drawings generated by the Architects / Engineers. They are generally the floor plan layouts, Elevation of the buildings, & Section details. The design drawing provides all the basic data required for preparation of shop drawings such as Bottom of base plate level, Top of steel elevation, Top of concrete elevation, floor levels, Section sizes of beams & columns, Column & Beam connection details, Type of connection etc. What are Structural Members? Columns, Beams, Channels & Angles are known as structural members. Hence structural steel detailing means detailing of these members for their inter connectivity and assembly so that they can be fabricated in shops with all the necessary connections and shipped to site so that they can be assembled easily. 2.

STRUCTURAL PRODUCTS AND SHAPES

2.1

W-, M-, S- and HP- Shapes (These are H- shaped or I- shaped members) •

W- Shape: This has essentially parallel inner and outer flange surface.

•

M- Shape: These are H- shapes that are not classified in ASTM A6 as W-, S- or HP- shapes

•

S- Shape: They have a slope of approximately 162/3 percent (2 on 12) on the inner flange. (This is also known as American Standard Beams)

•

HP- Shape: These are similar to W- Shape, except their webs and flanges are of equal thickness and the depth and flange width are nominally equal for a given designation.

These shapes are designated by mark W, M, S or HP. For example a W24X55. W- shape that is nominally 24-inch deep and weighs 55 lbs/ft. 2.2

Channels •

C- Shapes: They have a slope of approximately 162/3 percent (2 on 12) on the inner flange. (Also known as American Standard Channels).

S TEEL DETAILING TRAINING MANUAL

•

MC- Shape: They have a slope other then 162/3 percent (2 on 12) on the inner flange. (Also known as miscellaneous channels)

These shapes are designated by mark C or MC. For example a C12X25. C- shape that is nominally 12-inch deep and weighs 25 lbs/ft. 2.3

Angles •

Angles (also known as L- shape) have legs of equal thickness and either equal or unequal leg sizes. Angles are designated by the mark L. For example L4X3X1/2 is an angle with one 4 inch leg, one 3 inch leg and ½ inch thickness.

2.4

Structural Tees (WT-, MT-, and ST- Shapes) •

WT- shapes: Made from W- shapes.

•

MT- shapes: Made from M- shapes.

•

ST- shapes : Made from S- shapes.

These shapes are designated by mark WT-, MT- or ST-. For example a WT12X27.5 is a structural tee split from W24X55. WT- shape that is nominally 12-inch deep and weighs 27.5 lbs/ft. 2.5

Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) •

Rectangular (including square) HSS, which have an essentially rectangular (or square) cross section, except for rounded corners, and uniform wall thickness, except at the weld seam

•

Round HSS, which have essentially round cross section and uniform wall thickness except at the weld seam

These shapes are designated as HSS. For example HSS 10.000X0.500 is nominally 10 inch in diameter with ½ inch wall thickness. 2.6

Double Angles •

These shapes are designated by the mark 2L, the size and thickness of the their legs (inches) and their orientation when the angle legs are not equal size (LLBB or SLBB). For example a 2L4X3X1/2 LLBB has two angles with one 4 inch leg and one 3 inch leg and the 4 inch legs are back-to-back a 2L4X3X1/2 SLBB is similar, except the 3 inch legs are backto-back. In both cases, the legs are ½ inch thick.

Back Drafting

8. DETAILING PROCEDURES 1. After study of contract/sample drawings the entire group should decide the drawing pattern & standards to be followed. (If required prototype drawing is prepared) (Ref drafting standards in page. 26). 2. The detailer should approach the project engineer for any clarifications and the point should be freezed. 3. Any modifications or decision taken should be informed to all the members of the group. The Project engineers must check the drawing register to ensure that he has the latest revision of all Contract drawings. 4. Preparation of anchor bolt drawings (A1, AB1….) and erection drawings (E1, E2.…) with sections and other miscellaneous items.(But without erection marks) 5. Project engineers will divide the portion to be detailed and assign it to the respective detailers. 6. Detailers will start off with preparation of drawings. Project engineers should check the erection drawing for grid dimension, member shapes, elevations, erection markings and other required details. Also give erection marks.(Shipment mark) 7. Detailers are supposed to incorporate the erection marks. They should check the drawing on screen and enter the check list. These drawings should be submitted along with the checklist to the project engineers/checkers. 8. Project engineers should enter the drawing list (For description, drawn by Etc.) and checks the drawings as per check list . 9. Detailers should incorporate all the comments marked by the checkers and finally checkers should ensure that all the comments are incorporated by manually checking it on the screen. 10. Project engineers should take care that the final drawings are ready for shipment. 11. Material grade should be used as per contract drawing & to be mentioned in the general note. If the material used in the drawing is different from that mentioned in the general note, then it should be called off in remark column of bill of materials.

DRAWING PRESENTATION 1. All drawings should be clear, neat and of good line quality. 2. The number of pieces to be detailed on a drawing is determined by the detailer. However drawings are not to become congested as this creates room for error. 3. Bill of material and the title block should be on the right side of the drawing sheet as per the client’s requirement. 4. Sections will be taken on main elevations from the right looking left or top to bottom. Further sections will again be off the main elevation (unless unavoidable) and no sections off sections (unless unavoidable). 5. Slopes to holes or plates should be shown in terms of 12”. 6. Simple opposite handing on drawings is acceptable. Give separate ship mark for opposite hand items (do not use “x”). Opposite hand and Noted is not acceptable and will not be used. 7. All the dimensions should be present in the detail drawing from the fabricators point of view. 8. All welding symbols should be followed as per relevant codes, to be practiced in a given project. 9. Maintain 1:1 drawing scale for details & sections. However some section have to be drawn in a bigger scale for clarity. 10. Follow Section Sizes, Weld size, Bolt & Bolt Holes, Paint & Galvanizing Specification as per contract drawing. 11. Cut length of plates should preferably rounded off to ¼” unless avoidable. 12. Plate Description in BOM: The thickness and width are specified as fractional inch dimension and the length is specified in feet and inches. E.g. PL ½ x 8 ½ x 1’-4”, PL ¾ x 18 x 3’-0”. However this has to be deviated depending on contract sample drawings. 13. Do not duplicate Item Numbers. Keep a tally of last item number allotted. This is very important for Item Number marking. 14. Ensure that Item Numbers for all components are indicated on drawings and covered in “BOM” and match. 15. Ensure that Diameter of all holes is identified either through general notes or through explicit call-off.

S TEEL DETAILING TRAINING MANUAL

16. Always follow standard Pen thickness, Colors, Standard Text height. 17. Ensure correct Spelling in the text given in the Drawing. 18. Always give assemblies drawn as

= = =

“AS SHOWN” “OPP. HAND” ”AS SHOWN & NOTED”.

19. While drawing marking plan of beams, do not forget to show the view directions for detailing of beams. (I.e. give the beam mark at bottom left hand of the beam.) 20. Round off the lengths to nearest 1/16” of an inch. 21. Any dimensional ambiguity in contract drawing/design drawing, the dimension or detail is highlighted for verification. 22. Before shipping, Checker/Project Engineer should ensure that all the corrections are incorporated in the final drawings. 12.

STRUCTURAL DETAILING STANDARDS

12.1

Anchor bolt and embed drawing (Ref. Page.26) Anchor bolt plan for columns should show the following: 1) Column size and rotation. 2) Grid marking and dimensions 3) Anchor bolt patterns at all columns. 4) Anchor bolt mark and elevation (elevation to top of grout). 5) Direction mark (North arrow). In case project north is used, reference to actual North should be given. 6) Typical detail showing amount of grout and anchor bolt projection above concrete footing or pier is to be given (Ref. Page 24). 7) Sheet notes giving any necessary information such as reference elevations. 8) Beam anchors and bearing plate should be shown in respective floor framing plans (Ref. Page 24).

Coordination of drawings is very important checking procedure. 16. After checking, the check prints to be signed with date by the respective P.E/checker & given to the detailer for correction. 17. The P.E/checkers should explain the comments with reason marked on the sheet to the detailers so that the same mistakes do not occur again. 18. Final corrections to be checked manually on the screen & ensured that all corrections are incorporated. 19. The drawings ready for shipment should be transferred to the respective directories & finally to the master computer (refer page 4).

REASON / EXPLANATION / REMARK 1. Due to copying & pasting member sizes and forgetting to edit the same. 2. Wrongly assumed, since size was not available in one drawing (might have been available in another drawing and missed referring to it). 3. Assumed member size not corrected back in all the drawings after receiving the query reply.

1. Auto cad spell check not used. 2. Distraction at the time of editing. 3. Prototype title block not followed consistently in all the drawings.

1. Offset values considered wrongly at the time of marking layouts. 2. For sloping beams long point to long point dimensions not considered. 3. For Curved beams outer circumferential length not considered. 4. Due to copying & pasting cutting length description and forgetting to edit the same.

1. Dimension not changed after changing scale. 2. Dimension editing mistake. 3. Forgetting to change back the edited dimensions after stretching. 4. Forgetting to change back the dimensions after stretching.(Stretched esp. for representation purpose). 5. Due to copying & pasting running dimensions and forgetting to edit the same.

1. Ship mark in E-drawing is not coordinated. 2. Piece mark not followed as per sample drawing. 3. For some client item mark should reflect drawing number, which is not followed. 4. Ship mark should reflect drawing number, which is not considered. 5. Ship/ Item mark remains same for member / items having same properties and connection detail, which is not followed consistently. 6. As shown and Opp. Hand concept not followed consistently.
