Creation of Column Schedule and Drawing Template using AutoCad
1. Create a column schedule as shown in the figure.
Note: Create a column schedule with the help of lines. Also, insert text with the help of Dtext command or Single Line text.
Hint: Use font name: romans.shx; Height: 8”, Justify: Left
AIM:
To create a column schedule, and to draw the column showing reinforcement of the columns in detail
INTRODUCTION:
- The column schedule is a schedule which the details of column will be collected in the construction for design purpose. The column scheduling is very important thing in column detailing,
Commands used:
- Limits command
- Single Text command
- Line command
- Dimlinear command
- Trim command
- Mtext command
- Circle command
- object snap command
- DONUT command
- Divide command
- Offset command
- Units command
- Dimstyle command
- Extend command
- Mirror command
PROCEDURE:
STEP:-1
- Next we need to enter the details of columns with Single text and Mtext command.
- Then again we draw the column with given details as shown in below figure.
- First we draw the line with the length of 9" horizontally. • Next we draw the 24" line vertically, then again draw the line with the length of 9".
- Finally we join the first line and last line.
- Then after we do offset of 0.6", and do the offset to inside of rectangle we drawn previously.
- Next draw a circle beside of the previous figure, we take the circle diameter as 20mm And take another circle as diameter 12mm.
- Now use the divide command and give the 4 segments inside the rectangle.
- Now place the circle in the every segment.
- After putting the circles on one side, we use the mirror command.
- Mirror the one side fixed circles to other side. And put the 3 stirrups in the column where they are required to put in certain position.
- And Bend the corner of stirrups to the 45 degrees.
- And we denote the 12mm bars as "a", as shown in below figure.
- Here we need to enter the details of columns with Single text and Mtext command. Then again we draw the column with given details as shown in below figure.
- First we draw the line with the length of 9" horizontally.
- Next we draw the 24" line vertically, then again draw the line with the length of 9".
- Finally we join the first line and last line. • Then after we do offset of 0.6", and do the offset to inside of rectangle we drawn previously
- Next draw a circle beside of the previous figure, we take the circle diameter as 16mm
- Now use the divide command and give the 5 segments inside the rectangle.
- Now place the circle in the every segment. • After putting the circles on one side, we use the mirror command.
- Mirror the one side fixed circles to other side.
- And put the 3 stirrups in the column where they are required to put in certain position. And Bend the corner of stirrups to the 45 degrees, as shown in below figure
Step:-3
Column-2
- Here we need to enter the details of columns with Single text and Mtext command. . Then again we draw the column with given details as shown in below figure.
- First we draw the line with the length of 9" horizontally.
- Next we draw the 24" line vertically, then again draw the line with the length of 9". Finally we join the first line and last line.
- Then after we do offset of 0.6", and do the offset to inside of rectangle we drawn previously.
- Next draw a circle beside of the previous figure, we take the circle diameter as 20mm for 8 bars.
- And take another circle as diameter 12mm for 4 bars. Now use the divide command and give the 5 segments inside the rectangle. Now place the circle in the every segment.
- After putting the circles on one side, we use the mirror command.
- Mirror the one side fixed circles to other side.
- And put the 3 stirrups in the column where they are required to put in certain position.
- And Bend the corner of stirrups to the 45 degrees, as shown in below figure.
- And we denote the 20mm bars as "a", as shown in below figure.
Step:4
Column-2a
- Here we need to enter the details of columns with Single text and Mtext command.
- Then again we draw the column with given details as shown in below figure.
- First we draw the line with the length of 9" horizontally.
- Next we draw the 10" line vertically, then again draw the line with the length of 9".
- Finally we join the first line and last line.
- Then after we do offset of 0.6", and do the offset to inside of rectangle we drawn previously.
- Next draw a circle beside of the previous figure, we take the circle diameter as 16mm
- Now use the divide command and give the 2 segments inside the rectangle.
- Now place the circle in the every segment.
- After putting the circles on one side, we use the mirror command.
- Mirror the one side fixed circles to other side.
- And we have to put the 16mm bars in middle also.
- And Bend the corner of stirrups to the 45 degrees, as shown in below figure.
Step: 5
Column-3
- Now we need to enter the details of columns with Single text and Mtext command.
- Then again we draw the column with given details as shown in below figure.
- First we draw the line with the length of 9" horizontally.
- Next we draw the 24" line vertically, then again draw the line with the length of 9". . Finally we join the first line and last line.
- Then after we do offset of 0.6", and do the offset to inside of rectangle we drawn previously.
- Next draw a circle beside of the previous figure, we take the circle diameter as 16mm
- Now use the divide command and give the 5 segments inside the rectangle.
- Now place the circle in the every segment.
- After putting the circles on one side, we use the mirror command.
- Mirror the one side fixed circles to other side.
- And put the 3 stirrups in the column where they are required to put in certain position.
- And Bend the corner of stirrups to the 45 degrees, as shown in below figure.
