Structural Elements |
function and strength of structure |
|
slab |
planar structure element carries vertical load floors, roof, ceiling |
|
slab-on-grade (grade slab) |
a slab on ground level |
|
one-way slab |
supported in 2 oppositde edges load is along one direction |
|
two-way slab |
slab supported in 4 directions load is on both directions |
|
cantilever slab |
supported in 1 side |
|
column |
longitudinal structure vertically carries compressive loads |
|
shear wall |
wall-like structure resists lateral load, reinforced |
|
beam |
horizontal load in lateral direction resists shear/bending action |
|
tie beam |
beam that ties 2 or more columns together where they are slender to prevent buckling and reduce effective length |
|
foundation |
transfer load of structure to ground underneath |
|
Types of Foundation |
shallow deep |
|
shallow foundation |
aka footing near ground surface |
|
deep foundation |
foundation used when ground underneath is soft, needs to reach bedrock |
|
rafter |
found in roof framing along length of structure to support roof |
|
purlin |
beam on roof structure support load from roof sheathing/ deck |
|
ridge |
longitudinal along roof apex supports one end of the rafters |
|
girt |
lateral support to walls |
|
Framing plan |
key plan general dimensions and location of structural members for every floor of bldg and roof |
|
detail drawing/ schedules |
enlarged view of const features details of members |
|
Architectrural sheets |
Elevation view oriented elements |
|
Elevation view |
refer here for vertical distances// heights of vertically oriented elements (column/wall) or inclined (roof truss/members) |
|
O.C. |
On center distance between centers |
|
NGL |
natural ground level |
|
Quantity take off |
estimation of materials to construct reinforced concrete (RC) |
|
components of RC |
concrete steel reinforcement bard |
|
components of RC |
