Structural [A head]
The structural section in the UBC – ITC Health Club Expansion project contains information primarily associated to providing structural support for the roof system and screen wall. In addition, the foundation plan shows the necessary load bearing construction for supporting these structural items. It is important to understand the details, elevations, section and other drawings to construct the building as intended.
General Notes and Abbreviations [B head]
The General Notes and Abbreviations sheet, S1.1, contains a list of abbreviations used throughout the structural section. Most of these abbreviations are related to structural items. For instance, T.O.C means “top of concrete” and T.O.S. means “top of steel”. Other abbreviations …show more content…
For example, questions about the cold formed metal framing are found in that particular segment. In is important to note the gauge of the metal studs specified for this project, as well as the mil thickness associated to the gauge. Other information given in this segment and not shown elsewhere, pertains to the lateral bracing necessary for the steel studs when the wallboard is not continuous on each side. The engineer requires the installation bridging to prevent the studs from twisting and bending.
The foundation placement is made after confirming all underground utilities have been located prior to excavating. In addition, a note requires all abandoned footings and utilities are to be removed before constructing the new footings. Furthermore, a deputy supervisor must be present when grading, backfilling and compaction activities are performed.
Even though structural steel is not a carpentry discipline, the structural steel segment lists the ASTM standards to be followed during the steel installation, in addition to the type and quality of the steel. This segment describes the high strength bolts to be used for the structural joints and the tools used to tighten these bolts correctly. Any welds made on this project must be made by certified welders as required by the governing
