POSITIONING AND ORIENTATION OF COLUMNS: 📌Column should be located at or near the corners of a building and at the intersection of the beams/walls. 📌Avoid larger spans of beams. 📌Avoid larger centre to centre distance between columns. 📌Orient the column so that the depth of the column is provided in the major plane of bending. #ArchitecturalDesign #EngineeringMarvel #ColumnPlacement #StructuralEngineering #BuildingDesign #ArchitecturalDetail #ConstructionArt #UrbanArchitecture #BuildingScience #DesignInspiration #Autocad #Civil

I'm thrilled to share my first technical post here on LinkedIn, featuring a detailed section of a foundation I drafted using AutoCAD. This drawing highlights key elements of foundation design, including: Concrete Floor Slab reinforced with MESH A142 for structural integrity Damp Proof Layer to prevent moisture penetration, essential for durability Hardcore Filling for stable load distribution Blinding Layer to ensure a smooth and level surface With this foundation section, I focused on achieving precision and clarity in the detailing process. Structural engineering requires meticulous attention to detail, especially at the foundation stage, where stability and strength are paramount. As I continue building my career in structural engineering, I'm excited to share more of my work and insights on topics like drafting, design software, and sustainable engineering solutions. 🔍 Feedback and suggestions are always appreciated! #StructuralEngineering #AutoCAD #FoundationDesign #Drafting #CivilEngineering #Construction #EngineeringDesign #LinkedInFirstPost #LearningJourney

During my first semester, I was assigned to create structural engineering drawings using AutoCAD commands. The goal was to demonstrate a solid understanding of the software and produce drawings that meet industry standards. The following drawings showcased various elements, including concrete slabs, footings, and roof structures.

The book “Standard Method of Detailing Structural Concrete” is one of the most reliable and practical resources in the field of designing and detailing reinforced concrete structures. Published by the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), it serves as a comprehensive guide for standardizing methods of detailing structural concrete. #civil_engineering #structural_engineering #earthquake_engineering #structural_analysis #structural_design #etabs #sap2000 #building_design #concrete_structures #autocad

🎓 Semester 1 Highlights at TAFE Queensland – Road Design and Structural CAD Work 🎓 In my first semester at TAFE Queensland, I jumped into CAD design for civil and structural engineering, getting hands-on experience in road layout and structural detailing. Here’s a quick snapshot of what I worked on: ▪ ROAD SETOUT PLAN DRAWING What I tackled: -Divided the road layout based on the plan, drawing cross-section control lines and adding kerbs and channels. -Learned how to draw the longitudinal section control line to make sure everything aligned with precision. How I approached it: Used Brisbane Standard Drawings (BSD - 2001) as my guide, overlaying survey data with the .dwg file to see how the new design interacted with the existing site. ▪FOOTING AND COLUMN DRAWING What I tackled: -Created detailed drafts for footing layouts, footing pads, columns, roof plans, portal frames, wall frames, and I-beam connections. -Developed clear sectional views of columns, complete with dimensions, column types, and other key details. ▪How I approached it: -Selected the right I-beam types and sizes for each section, adding bolts and stiffener plates for structural accuracy. -Marked session points to label column and I-beam details according to industry standards, keeping everything organized and easy to follow. It’s been a great experience so far, building a strong foundation in CAD and civil design. Excited to keep learning! #civilEngineering #CAD #AutoCAD #TAFEQueensland #RoadDesign #StructuralDetailing #Engineering #Civildrafter #drafter

Enhancing Structural Drafting Skills with AutoCAD Through a recent project in the "Red Earth Meadows Subdivision," I developed a Roof Framing Plan using AutoCAD, which significantly improved my structural drafting abilities. I mastered industry-standard conventions, gained expertise in managing layers and viewports, and deepened my understanding of grid systems and beam scheduling. The project also enhanced my detailing skills, emphasizing accuracy and clarity in drawings. Additionally, I learned the importance of meticulous documentation and effective file management. This experience has equipped me with practical skills that are directly applicable to real-world architectural and construction projects. This concise summary captures the essence of your experience and skills gained from the project.

The aim of the document below is to provide the anticipated outcomes after completing a residential structural design.  I started the document with a quick overview of the most important values to choose and decisions to make while we are still in the design phase. In addition, I briefly detailed the design steps in the introduction. The next section is about the shapes of rebar needed in each element and the quantity of each shape. Following that, I presented the final BOQ results, the shop drawings, and the structural checks.  Please feel free to inform me in the comments if I missed any of the expected results. #Engineering #StructuralDesign #StructuralEngineering #CivilEngineering #AutoCAD #SAFE #ETABS

Day 10 of #tipsmas, where I am doing my best to share a tip/trick everyday until Christmas. Please note this is not as easy as I thought it would be. Today we are going back to Bluebeam, to see an easy way to match properties. This is called "Format Painter" in Bluebeam. #SteelDetailing #SteelConstruction #Fabrication #SteelErection #Architectural #engineering #SteelStructure #SDS2 #Tekla #autocad #bocad #steeleducation #sharingiscaring #miscDetailing #Productivity
