CE 479 – Fall 2023 Name: Peter Martin Homework Assignment #1 – Reading Structural Drawings Date: 8/29/2023 (20 points) Page 1 of 3 Of the many items indicated, identify three unique concepts/points/topics discussed while watching the ‘Reading Structural Drawings’ video that you think are important for a structural engineer to know (think: would this be useful in this class or in practice?). Using the drawings provided, indicate and explain the concept/point/topic, indicate where on the drawing(s) it came from, and show the part of the drawing that reflects that concept/point/topic learned. Do not place the entire drawing sheet into this template, show only the area of importance to what you are referencing. Ensure that your drawing references correlate with each other: If you reference something on the architectural drawings, make sure it is the same reference location/ element in the structural set. Concept/Point/Topic #1 (0 to 10:00min mark in video) 1. Indicate and explain concept/point/topic #1 (100 words max) 2. Indicate where on the drawings you can find an example (i.e., S2.0, A0.0, etc.). Note, any reference to an architectural drawing should indicate the corresponding reference in the structural set. 3. Show the part of the drawing(s) that represents the concept/point/topic selected The column schedule on every structural plan is very important to be able to identify different sizes throughout the plan. I found this on sheet S5.0 which has the beginning of a lot of the typical connection details. Along with marks of each column, there is size, base plate dimensions, anchors, and embedment depth.

Indicate and explain concept/point/topic #2 (100 words max) 2. Indicate where on the drawings you can find an example (i.e., S2.0, A0.0, etc.). Note, any reference to an architectural drawing should indicate the corresponding reference in the structural set. 3. Show the part of the drawing(s) that represents the concept/point/topic selected Another concept I find is very important for structural engineers is the design load schedule. This gives the basic superimposed dead load, partition loads, and live loads at all the different points throughout a building. In addition, it breaks down the floor construction to show rigidity along with any notes the designer deems important to add. S0.0

Indicate and explain concept/point/topic #3 (100 words max) 2. Indicate where on the drawings you can find an example (i.e., S2.0, A0.0, etc.). Note, any reference to an architectural drawing should indicate the corresponding reference in the structural set. 3. Show the part of the drawing(s) that represents the concept/point/topic selected The elevation views are a very important aspect of a set of structural drawings as it gives the engineer a sense of what the building looks like. This can give info such as façade specs, floor elevations, possible exterior lateral system locations, etc. These are also a great way to check any exterior pieces if any cross sections or details seem confusing.
