Elements and Performance Criteria
- Detail beams
- Location and number of beams are identified from design information
- Beam direction marks are inserted according to industry practice or specific project needs
- Beam dimensions are obtained from design information and inserted into shop drawings
- Beam section designation and cut length are inserted into elevation detail and material list along with any general notes
- Beam levels and beam erection marks and erection clearances are inserted
- Any surface treatment notes are inserted as per design information
- Detail columns
- Timing and process for detailing of columns is discussed with fabricator to ensure suitability for fabrication schedules
- Column design information is analysed to identify all column connections
- Vertical or horizontal detailing position and viewing direction is elected to suit client requirements and drawing office practice
- Dimensions for columns are inserted from design information
- Sectional views for splices are drawn as per design information
- Plan views for intermediate sections are drawn to illustrate required connections
- Direction and level marks as well as shim and lifting hitches are inserted as required according to design information
- Detail beam and column splices
- Detail trusses
- Working points and bevels are established from design information
- Layouts for joints are drawn using appropriate scale
- Opportunities for symmetry and rotation are noted and used in layouts with approval of fabricator
- Trusses are dimensioned including placement of working dimensions, intermediate panel points, other reference points and camber allowances for cambered trusses
- Bolted gussets for node points are set out using design information and fabricator preferences
- Node points for welded trusses are detailed including set back of member ends and landing for welds using design information and fabricator preferences
- Detail bracing
- Detail purlins, girts and eaves struts
