Project 1 _Creating an Architectural plan for the provided plot size and develop relevant basic structural drawings

AIM: - To design and Draft a layout of a residential building with the following details:

a. Plot Size: 60’x20’(18.3m x6m)

b. Orientation- Facing East

INTRODUCTION: - The given plan is created using various tools in Autocad like rectangle, polylines, and circle arc modification tools like copy, move, offset, mirror, trim, and fillet, etc.

PROCEDURE: -

Before we start the drawings we need to set up the drawing as Imperial Template and the units into Engineering Units.

Following are the steps in order to set up the drawing as Imperial Template and the units into Engineering Units.

1. Go to Application Menu or click CTRL + N (New)
2. Click on New from the Application Menu
3. A popup menu appears, click on the first tab known as Start from Scratch > Select Imperial
4. Now click on the third tab known as Use a Wizard > Go to Advance setup > A Dialog box appears > Select the unit of measurement as Engineering > Press Next > select Angle as Decimal Degrees > Press Next > Select Angle Measure > Press Next > Select Angle Direction > Press Next > Select Area > Click Finish
5. Set the page limit by entering Limits in the command tab. The lower left corner is specified as 0'-0.0" and the upper right corner is specified as 100',100'.
6. In the Drawing Units dialog box, select 'Engineering' in Type; ' 0'-0.0" ' in Precision; and 'Inches' in Insertion scale.
7. Click OK
8. Now we are all set to go.

Now,

• Draw a rough diagram of length 60' X 20', for simply imagining what to draw.
• Complete the box by closing the command.
• Take offset of 10" and do all round offset.
• Divide the 60' line into 4 parts.

Now,

• Take some layer.
• Type LA or layer, a dialogue box appears.
• Select the following layers.

Now,

• Give the column of Dimension 10" X 12".
• Also provide circular colums of diameter 10" for aesthetic and structural loading at the fornt face.
• Give the beams of size 15" X 10".
• External wall is given as 10".
• Give the internal wall as 5".
• Now give the dimension of each room, so that the area of the room is estimated.
• Type D of dst or dimension in the command box.
• A dailogue box appears select the arrow as open arrow and size as 6".
• Go to Text and take the size of teh texts as 6".
• Press Ok and then close it

Now,

• Let us draw the stairs.
• Take the riser as 6".
• Take the tread as 10".
• Take the width of stairs as 38".

Now,

• Doors of different sizes like 3' X 7' & 2'6" X 7' are taken.
• Windows of Different sizes 3' X 4' & Ventilator of size 26" X 2' are taken.
• Provide the Lintels of 18" X 4".

Now,

• In order to draw the architectural plan we ue various architectural blocks
• For this go to Insert Tab
• Then go to Design Centre
• The following Dialogue box appears.
• From there you can select the required blocks.

So, we have the following architectural plan,

Now,

• Let us draw the Section AA'
• Take xline to draw the different lines.
• Draw the two circular columns uptil footing .
• Give 3" BFS i.e., Brick Flat sole.
• Over BFS give 4" thick PCC i.e., plan concrete cement.
• Over PCC give 1"thick I.P.S Indian patent stone .

Now,

• DRAW the shutteing for the car park.
• Draw a line 8'8" and do offset multiple times taking 1" offset distance.
• From the properties panel
• Select the colour 86 and line weight 0.50mm.

Also,

• Some aesthetical objects are drawn and are hatched since it is the entrance of the building.
• A 8" thickness slab is drawn extending to 1' as the lintel.
• Draw one more slab of thickness 3" in between the external columns.
• Draw 10" glass type slab in between the external columns.
• Draw one more slab of thickness 6" in between the external columns.

Also,

• Provide the steel railing parapet wall.
• Height of the steel railing is 3'.

So, final drawing of Section AA' is as below,

Now, its time for dimension,

• Type D or dimension
• A dialogue box appears
• Give texts size as 6".
• Arrow size as 5".
• Click close .

So the drawing of Section AA' is

Now,

• Let us draw the Section BB'
• Take xline to draw the different lines.
• Draw the two circular columns uptil footing .
• Give 3" BFS i.e., Brick Flat sole.
• Over BFS give 4" thick PCC i.e., plan concrete cement.
• Over PCC give 1"thick I.P.S Indian patent stone .

Also,

• Some aesthetical objects are drawn and are hatched since it is the entrance of the building.
• A 8" thickness slab is drawn extending to 1' as the lintel.
• Draw one more slab of thickness 3" in between the external columns.
• Draw 10" glass type slab in between the external columns.
• Draw one more slab of thickness 6" in between the external columns.

Also,

• Provide the steel railing parapet wall.
• Height of the steel railing is 3'.

Now, its time for dimension,

• Type D or dimension
• A dialogue box appears
• Give texts size as 6".
• Arrow size as 5".
• Click close .

So the drawing of Section BB' is

Now,

• Let us draw the Columns
• The size of the column is taken as 12" X 10"
• And the Circular column is taken of Diameter 10".
• Switch off the others layers so that the column gets highlighted.

Now,

• Let us draw the column layout
• The centrelines are drawn which passes through the centre of each column.

Now,

• Draw the Gridlines Letter.
• For this we need to make Attributes
• So draw a circle of required diameter.
• Then Type Att or Attributes.
• A dialogue box appears
• Select the tag line as A=
• Give Prompt as A

So, we have the following grid letters and the Final Column layout.

Now,

• Let us draw the Beam layout
• The beam of size 15" X 10" are taken.

So, the final beam layout is,

Now,

• Its time for Footing Layout.
• The footing of various sizes like
• 2'6" X 4'10",
• 4' X 4'10"
• 2'10" X 2'6" are drawn.

Lets provide the dimensions of the footings.
