1.Ans:

AIM:-To create a column schedule using AutoCAD as shown in the figure.

Procedure:

• Initially set the units as Engineering (feet and inches)
• There are five columns as shown in figure i.e. is C1, C1a, C2, C2a, C3
• The column C1 contains 4 no's of 20mm dia bars and 6 no.s of 12mm dia bars; column C1a contains 12 no's of 16mm dia bars; column C2 contains 8 no's of 20mm dia bars; column C2a contains 8 no's of 16mm dia bars; column C3 contains 12 no's of 16mm dia bars;
• Stirrups are having bar dia of 8mm placed at a c/c spacing of 3” near the ends and 8” at the middle

• First, we create a table by drawing a rectangle of 60’x20’ and then explode it
• By using offset command: offset the 20’ line by taking offset at a distance of 5’ and then offset the 60’ line at a distance of 4’ from the bottom and 2’ from the top
• Trim off the extra line using trim command
• Now we enter the text line in the table by using single line text from the text drop down menu
• Specify the point of text 8” and text angle as 0 degree
• After entering the text, right click and select properties then list of properties will be shown and ensure that the text height is 8” and make justify as left
• By using ‘ST’ command we can change the style of the text and select the font name a “romans.shx”
• Insert all the text on the respective rows and columns
• Give the heading as column schedule

1. For column C1 to draw a rectangle of 9”x24” having 20mm dia reinforcement at 4 corners and 12mm dia 6 reinforcement bars in between connected by 8mm stirrup

• Now we draw a rectangle using rectangle command with dimensions in the command box
• By using offset command: give an offset distance of 0.5” which will be the cover of concrete
• Explode the inner rectangle using explode command
• Now we draw the reinforcements
• By using circle command: selecting tan tan radius and give radius of 0.4”
• Using the mirror command create the reinforcement on the bottom left side of column by giving plane as the midpoint of the 2’ line and click on NO for erase source object
• Now for the reinforcement of 12mm dia bars 6 in numbers
• Create a circle of radius of 0.2” using circle command
• Now copy the circle using the top of the circle as the base point and place it on the points created by object snap
• Place all the 3 circles on each divided point and then delete the points created by object snap
• Create the similar circles on the right side by using the mirror command
• Now we draw the stirrups:
• Connect the reinforcement 6mm with 1st row and 2nd row from top and bottom and the 3rd row from the bottom
• Connect them as tangents of two circles
• Now fillet the corners of the column with radius as 0.5”
• Now using the donut command fill the circles
• Specify the inner dia as 0 and outer dia as 0.8” for the corner reinforcement and 0.5” for the inside reinforcement
• Specify the center of donut and fill the circles
• Mark “a” for in between reinforcement to indicate it as 12mm diameter

II.Now for drawing column C1a of 9”x24” having 16mm dia of 12 reinforcement bars in between connected by 8mm stirrup

• Now we draw a rectangle using rectangle command with dimensions in the command box
• By using offset command: give an offset distance of 0.5” which will be the cover of concrete
• Explode the inner rectangle using explode command
• Now we draw the reinforcements
• By using circle command: selecting tan tan radius and give radius of 0.3”
• Using the mirror command create the reinforcement on the bottom left side of column by giving plane as the midpoint of the 2’ line and click on NO for erase source object
• Now by using the divide command: divide the 2’ line into 5 segments
• To make the points visible type “DDTYPE” in the command box and apply a suitable point
• Now copy the circle using the top of the circle as the base point and place it on the points created by object snap
• Place all the 4 circles on each divided point and then delete the points created by object snap
• Create the similar circles on the right side by using the mirror command
• Now we draw the stirrups:
• Connect the reinforcement by using line command for the 2nd and 4th row on top and 3rd and 5th row on bottom
• Connect them as tangents of two circles
• Now fillet the corners of the column with radius as 0.3”
• Now using the donut command fill the circles
• Specify the inner dia as 0 and outer dia as 0.62”
• Specify the center of donut and fill the circles

III. Now for drawing column C2 of 9”x24” having 20mm dia of 8 reinforcement bars as shown in figure “a” and rest 12mm dia 4 bars with 8mm dia stirrup in between connected by 8mm stirrup

• Now we draw a rectangle using rectangle command with dimensions in the command box
• By using offset command: give an offset distance of 0.5” which will be the cover of concrete
• Explode the inner rectangle using explode command
• Now we draw the reinforcements
• By using circle command: selecting tan tan radius and give radius of 0.35”
• Using the mirror command create the reinforcement on the bottom left side of column by giving plane as the midpoint of the 2’ line and click on NO for erase source object
• Now by using the divide command: divide the 2’ line into 5 segments
• To make the points visible type “DDTYPE” in the command box and apply a suitable point
• Create a circle of radius of 0.23” using circle command
• Now copy the circle using the top of the circle as the base point and place it on the points created by object snap
• Place all the 4 circles on each divided point and then delete the points created by object snap
• Create the similar circles on the right side by using the mirror command
• Now we draw the stirrups:
• Connect the reinforcement by using line command for the 2nd and 4th row on top and 3rd and 5th row on bottom
• Connect them as tangents of two circles
• Now fillet the corners of the column with radius as 0.4”

• Specify the center of donut and fill the circles
• Mark “a” for in between reinforcement to indicate it as 20mm diameter

IV.Drawing column C2a:

• Draw a rectangle of 9”x10” and give offset of 0.5” and then explode the offsetted rectangle
• Now we draw the reinforcements
• By using circle command: selecting tan tan radius and give radius of 0.3”
