Drafting Flashcards
It is a graphical representation of structures, machines, and their component parts that communicates the engineering intent of a technical design to the craftsman or worker who makes the product (Britannica).
Drafting
- Specializes in making technical plans for buildings and construction projects according to the necessary requirements, codes, and standards.
- Traditionally done by hand, but now utilizes different kinds of software applications with Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Engineering Drawing
- Drawings made that illustrate the design and specifications of a building or structure.
- Made in accordance with the National Building Code of the Philippines or PD 1096.
- Only registered and licensed architects are allowed to prepare, sign, and seal architectural documents in accordance with RA 9266 or the Architecture Act of 2002.
Architectural
From a horizontal perspective, shows the layout of doors, windows, rooms, and other fixtures.
Floor Plan
Shows the surroundings of the building’s lot area. May include adjacent buildings, streets, rivers, etc.
Site Plan
Shows the exterior model of the building when looked at from its front, right side, left side, and rear.
Elevation Plans
From a vertical perspective, shows the different levels of a building.
Section Plan
From a horizontal top-down perspective, shows roof layout, slope points, ridges, and other roof accessories.
Roof Plan
A rendered 3d model of the building.
Perspective Plan
Focuses on specific elements of the building, such as stairs.
Detail Drawings
A list of all symbols used in the architectural plans that represent their real-life counterparts.
Symbols and Legends
States the material or finish to be used for a specific area or portion of the building plan.
Proposed Materials and Finishes
- Illustrations that depict the structural framework of a building or infrastructure project. They convey essential information regarding the elements that support and stabilize the structure, ensuring its safety and stability.
- Made in accordance with the National Structural Code of the Philippines.
- Prepared, signed, and sealed by registered and licensed civil engineers or structural engineers.
Structural
Offers a top view of the foundation and shows the girders, beams, columns, and openings.
Foundation Plan
Include supports, girders, and joists.
Floor Framing Plan
Shows the arrangement of roof rafters from a top-down view.
Roof Framing Plan
Critical for the structural integrity of the building, as the beams and columns support the slabs of the infrastructure, which bear the loads being placed upon it.
Beam and Column Layout
Similar to Sections in the Architectural Plan, but focuses on the layout of its structural members.
Structural Sections
Similar to Elevations in the Architectural Plan, but focuses on the layout of its structural members.
Structural Elevations
Detailed plans on joint connections between beams, columns, and bracing.
Connection Details
Shows the specifications, location, and design of shear walls and bracing in buildings.
Shear Wall and Bracing Plan
Displays reinforcement details for slab, slab thickness, and rebar layout.
Slab Reinforcement Plan
Retaining walls, or walls that confine soil, along with the necessary render, treatment, and dimensions.
Retaining Wall Details
Specifies the load-bearing capacities of stairs and ramps in buildings.
Stair and Ramp Details
List of symbols used in structural plans and blueprints.
Schedules and Legends
Shows the building’s load calculations.
Load Analysis and Calculation Notes
- Electrical plans in Engineering provide detailed representations of the electrical systems within the building.
- Made in accordance with the Philippine Electrical Code.
- Prepared, signed, and sealed by Professional Electrical Engineers.
Electrical
Shows the layout of lighting fixtures, switches, and control points.
Lighting Plan
Shows the layout of power outlets and the respective appliances to be used.
Power Plan
Provides a schematic representation of the electrical wiring throughout the building.
Wiring Diagram
Lists the load and capacities of electrical circuits and their corresponding circuit breakers.
