CE 303: Introduction to Construction

1. CE 303: Introduction to Construction Blueprint Lab

2. Building Construction I

3. Objectives • How to read Foundation Plans • Commercial Framing Illustrations • Reinforced Concrete • Residential Framing Illustrations • Dimensioning • Plumbing Plans • HVAC Plans • Electrical Plans/Wiring Diagrams • Masonry Symbols • Welding Symbols

4. Foundation Plans • Details of construction for the footings and foundation walls • Footings and walls must be very carefully laid out, as the rest of the building relies on their accuracy • Slab-on-grade is a concrete slab poured directly on the subgrade (basement floors, main floors, garage floors, etc..)

10. Commercial Framing • Framework constructed of structural steel and/or reinforced concrete. • Framework is designed to transfer loads to columns of steel, thus eliminating the need for load bearing walls. • Two types of floor and roof framing systems. • One-way floor system (Girders run parallel to each other) • Two-way floor system (Beams and girders run in both directions)

11. Commercial Framing (con’t) • Steel Beam and Column Designations • W20x48 • Standard Wide Flange (W) Shape • 20” nominal depth • 48 lbs. per linear foot

13. Reinforced Concretefloor systems - one way Girder (resting on column) Concrete beam

14. Reinforced Concretefloor systems - two way waffle Waffle Pan or dome system

15. Commercial Framing (con’t) • Open web joists are used in commercial and industrial construction. • Support loads more efficiently than beams and are more economical. • Designation: • 60DLH15 • D: Deep; L: Long-span; H: High Strength • 60: 60” depth; 15: indicates range of span from 70’ to 120’, from a load table.

16. Residential Framing • Similar to commercial framing • Beams and joists used to support floors • Wood members used instead of structural steel and concrete. • More members used in residential frames (weaker material and no large columns.) • Weight of floor supported by wall instead of columns.

17. Wood Framing • widely-used, widely-known • affordable • durable • dependable • flexible construction methods

18. Dimensioning • for exterior walls • given to outside of stud • for interior • given to edge of stud or • centerline of stud check drawing carefully to verify the dimensioning practice followed for any given set of plans
