Need help regarding Structural/ Mechanical/ Plumbing and Electrical layouts! >.<

[elvewien]

Hi all!

Please help me! I am currently taking a short course in drafting. they are teaching all the basic from Architectural -> Structural -> HVAC -> Electrical -> and Drainage/Plumbing. And i got some questions, i hope you guys can help me >.<

1. In Structural, we are asked to do the RC details for roofing and Beams. i don't know how to do this one. It will be a big help if someone can explain it to me, or show any sample.

2. In Structural, we are also asked to do the RC details of Staircase. Any explanations or samples will be a great help.

3. With regards to the Plumbing/Drainage, i really don't have any idea how it looks. can anyone send me a sample or something?

I really need a lot of help.


Thanks in advance!

RC as in Reinforced Concrete?

hmm.. i think so, ehehe. we are using concrete for the slabs and beams.

What country are you located in? Just so we know whether we are dealing with metric or imperial sizes for things such as rebar.

What textbook are you using?

[elvewien]

i am staying in United Arab Emirates. we are not using a specific book, since this is just like a short course, they just gave us a manual and lectures in PDF files.

A short course in the basics of five different disciplines and they expect you to have enough knowledge to design a concrete roof, beam, stairs and to complete a simple plumbing and drainage plan?

How detailed do these "details" have to be? Are you calling out reinforcement bar sizes or specifying the strength of the concrete?

Is there a library nearby that you can go pull some reference books and have a look at what you are being asked to design?

Basic concrete stair detail.

Seems odd that course manual wouldnt contain the information needed.... Is this a Cad/Telepathy class? I want in!

[elvewien]

i have checked some samples of plans and comparing to what we are doing, it's not that detailed but all the important things are there.
He gave us the sizes for the bars, for slabs, columns.. hmm but for stairs i think he didn't mention anything [or maybe i am not paying attention that time @_@... ill ask my classmates]

Thanks for the file! i think this can help!

one more question, for this RC of Stairs, i don't need to show the whole staircase right?

Thanks a lot! ^^, now for the roof, electrical and plumbing...

No, just as ReMarks pic shows, the details are in the top and bottom, and because the middle is "repeating", only the minimum is needed.
