angles, z-bars, and round tubular sections)- Draw assigned structural steel shapes as specified in the AISC Steel Construction Manual- Describe the usual method of billing and sketching structural steel shapes on shop drawings- Define the terms “yield stress” and “tensile strength” as they relate to the physical properties of structural steel- Define the term “mill tolerance”Detailing and fabricating structural steel- Sketch an organizational chart for a typical structural CAD department- Write a job description for an entry level structural CAD technician- List the primary duties of a junior CAD technician, a CAD technician, a senior CAD technician, a checker, and a drafting manager in a typical structural CAD department- Explain the original drawing process, the checking process, the correcting process, and the revising process in structural CAD- Define the terms “advance bill” and “shop bill”- Prepare advance bills and shop bills for a given structural project- Describe the bill of materials, its function, and the information, which it should contain.1Course OutlineStructural DraftingLearning Outcomes- Define and describe the following types of drawings: design drawings, details, erection plans, and shop drawings- Explain the procedures followed in preparing design drawings, details, erection plans, and shop drawings- Explain the AISC system of marks, index sheets and sheet numbers- Define structural steel fabrication details- Explain the methods of assigning marks to the various structural members on design and framing drawings, shop drawings, and for shipping and erectionsFundamentals of structural engineering- Explain the types of loads which act on structures (live, dead, wind, and snow loads)- Name and explain the types of stress which act on structural members (tension, compression, and shear)- Define the terms beam, reactions, moment, and equilibrium- Define and sketch an example of a simple beam, fixed beam, a cantilever beam, and a continuous beam- Define the terms “uniform load” and “concentrated load” and sketch an example of each- Write the mathematical formulas for the laws of equilibrium as presented in this course- Calculate the end reactions of a simple beam having a uniform load using the AISC Manual of Steel Construction- Calculate the end reactions of a simple beam having a concentrated load- Define the term “bearing stress”Connections-bolted- Name the fastening methods employed in steel construction (bolting, riveting, and welding)- Name and explain the two main types of beam-to-beam and beam-to-column connections- List and describe the two types of seated beam connections: unstiffened and stiffened- Explain the application of bolted, welded, riveted, split ring and shear plate connections in structural steel framing- Define the terms unfinished bolt, machine bold, plain bolt and common or rough bolts.- Describe the ASTM A325 and the ASTM A490 high strength bolts used in field and shop connections- Sketch the symbols to represent the various types of shop bolts and field bolts used on structural steel drawings- Describe how bolt and hole sizes are specified on a structural steel drawing- Define the term bolt pitch- Calculate the diameter of a high strength bolt in single shear and double shear given a load- Calculate the number of high strength bolts needed in a simple beam connection given a load- Calculate the proper location and pitch of bolts for a given standard connection- Calculate the size and number of bolts in a connection using the AISC Manual of Steel Construction for a given beamStructural Steel Drawings- Construct structural steel framing plans according to engineering specifications- Prepare a design drawing for a framing project including notes, dimensions, and loads needed for the preparation of shop drawings by the structural detailer- Prepare a part plan drawing from a design drawing. Include all notes, dimensions, and information required to prepare shop drawings of the structural components- Define the term “gage lines” and the importance of maintaining consistent gage of structural members- Describe why it is important to maintain minimum edge distance for bolts and bolt holes- Using the AISC Manual of Steel Construction determine the edge distance for a given connection detail2Course OutlineStructural DraftingLearning Outcomes- Describe the following features: copes, blocks, and cuts- Calculate the “cut” dimensions for a beam-to-beam connection with “flush tops”- Explain why and what types of assembly clearances are required between beams and columns and between beams and beams- Calculate the “set-back” dimensions for a beam to beam connection-
