Task
You are required to draw the Floor Beam System for a typical structural floor
section A with a total area of 12 in × 12 in, using AutoCAD 2D .
Beams thickness (0.2”)
2.5”
The drawing must represent actual beam thickness (no single lines) Floor Requirements.
(except for sophomore could represent with single lines)
Your design must comply with the following:
•
•
•
Perimeter beams must form a continuous closed frame
All internal spans (openings between beams) must be less than 2.5 in., measured
perpendicular to surrounding beams (2.5 inch indicate the arrow length in fig )
No floor opening may have more than 4 sides
Hatched area is the floor opening
•
•
•
•
•
•
Each beam must be represented using two parallel lines or a rectangle showing
its actual cross-section
Maximum beam width: 0.2 in × 0.2 in
Maximum beam length: 15 in
Sketch 2 Plans one with dimensions and other without dimensions
Column locations must be clearly marked on the plan (0.25” *0.25”)
Colour and layer name: outer beams:
inner beams:
dimensions
Columns:
Deliverables:
