I) Creating table:
-Create rectangle of 60' x20' ,explode it.
- Divide the 60' into 10' columns nad again divide each 10' to 5 by using offset command .Command "0" - select the left side line and give offset distance as 10' first and for the second as 5.
- Create row at top and bottom of 2' and 4' respectively by offset command .Command "O" - select the top line and give distance as 2' again command "0"
-select the bottom line and give offset distance as 4'.
- Trim off the unecessary lines.
II) Entering text:
- Enter the text in the table by using singleline text from the text drop down menu - specify the point of text- specify text height as 8"
-Text agle as 0 degree, in case of the text TERRACE TO MUMTY" give text angle as 90 degreeand type the text. After entering the text,right click and slect properties - then list of properties will be displayed
- Ensure that the text height is 8" and make justify: as left
- To change the style of text Command "ST",a dialogue box apperas and select the font name as "romans.shx"
- Then insert all the text or copy the text created and edit it to the required text in respective rows and colums
- Give the heading as :"Column Shedule:"
II) Drawing the column section:
a) Drawing the column section C1 Column of size 9" x 24 having 20mm dia reinforcement at 4 corners and 12 mm dia 6 reinforcemnt bars in between connected by 8 mm dia stirrup.
Drawing column:
- Draw a rectangle of sixe 9 x24"- Command "REC"- specfiy a point- click on dimension in the command box- then enter the first value as 9 and second dimension as 24"
- Draw the column outline after a cover of 40mm ie ,0.5" by offset command Command "0"- select the object- give offset distance as 0.5" .
- Explode the inside rectangle so that the line can be selected seperately. Command "EXPLODE" - select the inner rectangle enter.
Drawing reinforcement:
- By circle draw the reinforcement Command "C" - click on tan tan radius on the command box- select the left line as one of tangent - top line as another tangent give radius as 10mm ie,0. 4".
- Using mirror command create the reinforcement on bottom of the left side of column. Command "MI" - select the object- give the mirror plane as the midpoint of the 2 line by Object snap-midpoint on and click on "NO" for erase source object.
- Divide the line containing the reinforcement by command "DIV" - select the object (line)- no: of segments to be divided is given as 4,the line willbe divided
- To make the point of division visible, type Command "DDPTYPE" in command box - a dialogue box appears and select the suitable point type- apply.
- For the reinforcement of 12mm dia, 6 bars
- Create circle by commnad "C"- specify the centre point - enter the radius as 6 mm ie 0.2".
- Copy the circle command "CO" - select the circle- select the base point as top point on the circle -and place it in the centre point of the point created by object snap on.
- Place 3 circles as such on each divided point, then dlete the points created.
-Create similar circles on the other side, right side of the column. For that,
- Mirror the circles Command "MI"- select all the 5 circles- create the mirror plane from the middle of the 9" line ,erase source object -give it as "NO" then the mirror image will be created.
Drawing stirrups:
- Connect the reinforcement of raidus 6 mm,1st row from the top,2nd row top and bottom and 3rd row from bottom.
- Connect the lines as top tangent of the two circles.
- Draw the rings by arc- 3 point method, and mirroring it.
- Fillet the corners of the colum outline with filet radius as 0.5".
- Use donout command to fillthe circle Command "DO0"- specify the inner dimaeter as 0 and outer diameter as 0.8" for 4 corner reinforcement and 0.5" for inside reinforcement specify centre of the donout, it gets filled. Mark "a" for in between reinforcemnet to indicate it as 12mm dimaeter.
