Penn Foster Structural Project

[LJade]

Ive been looking for references to the Structural Project and found this website. It has helped but I worry alot of the instructions have been updated from the previous post. I'm stuck on the section Drafting Details C, C1, and C2. I feel like I'm missing something and was wondering if anyone could give me some guidance. (I am completely new to Drafting & AutoCAD.) I have uploaded the instructions and my progress via this sheet. Thanks!

The above is somewhat difficult to read/understand but I will do my best.  Let's start on the left.  The rebar should not extend through the bottom of the footing.  The concrete slab (ground floor) appears to be missing.  I don't see the steel decking in the floor above and the roof.  Your depiction of the vertical steel cladding is incorrect.  As regards Detail C1: the flashing should also extend down the exterior face of the structure, and both ends of the flashing should have an angled drip edge.  And your steel column is missing the lines denoting the flange.  As regards Detail C2: Lines denoting flange on column are missing.  Steel decking is missing.  Beam that attaches to column is missing.  Angle and bolt appear to be sized incorrectly.  Steel cladding shown correctly.  It looks like you have the concrete roof slab sitting inside the channel when in fact the slab, along with the steel decking and rebar would all sit atop the channel.  I'm positive there is more I could comment on but that's the best I can do at the moment.  There are several threads in this particular forum that deal with the Penn-Foster structural assignment where these very same details show up.  Have you looked at any of them?

My only comment and its about appearance not actual details, in C2 I would move the leader "Metal siding" to the right side so it does not cross the detail, just clearer to read. @ReMark has provided great advice supporting the Penn Foster tasks.

LJade: Here is an example of what I mentioned in my previous post.  Note that the channel supports the steel decking, and the decking supports the concrete.  The rebar is embedded in the concrete.  Note the flashing and canted drip edge in the example as well.

Thank you ReMark. I actually had to go back and do much of the work over. Bit embarrassed to say but I am learning! I think a lot of the instructions have changed. Can you give me some guidance on sheet 4? I got a bit confused with the c9X20 channel beams. The instructions are SO difficult for completely new beginners. This is what I currently have.

What exactly is your question regarding the channels?  BTW... something doesn't look right with your columns and baseplates.  Can you email me a copy of the drawing?  I will message you with my contact information.
