  2. Key Points • Elevation View • Plan View • Footprints • Foundation • Stress • Safety Factor

  3. An Elevation View • Is an orthographic 2-D drawing of the above-ground portion of a structure.

  4. A Plan View • Shows the top-down view of the structure

  5. Footprint • Is the area contained within the perimeter of the building

  6. A foundation • Transmits loads from the structure to the ground. • Foundations usually extend underground.

  7. Stress and a safety factor • When determining the live load a building must be able to support, engineers refer to code that is listed as load per unit area, or stress. • A safety factor is a factor by which a maximum likely stress is multiplied in order to ensure the safety of the structure.

  8. Who is PrityRungta? • Construction manager • Construction worker • Construction engineer • Structural engineer

  9. Which of the following view does the picture show? • Elevation view • Plan view • Footprint • Blueprint

  10. What is the primary way that the architect communicates his/ her building plans to Prity’s team? • An elevation drawing • A plan drawing • Both an elevation and plan drawing • None of the above

  11. If a scaffold can support a load of 300 pounds and must have a safety factor of 2, • how many pounds must your design be able to support? • What if the safety factor is 3? 4? 5?

  12. Prity describes two new construction technologies. What are they? • A wood joist system made of composite wood • Insulated Concrete Forms (ICS)
