5. Plinth Beam Layout

Procedure:

• Take the ground floor plan for making the plinth beam layout
• Erase Windows, Door, Text from the plan
• Only main boundary and walls boundary should be seen
• Now from column to column make the lines from the middle of main boundary and middle of wall boundary.
• Take the line as ISO Dash line for Plinth Beam Layout and giving the distance b/w the grid lines
• Do the dimensioning
• Plinth beam layout is made.

6. Footing Layout

Procedure:

• Take the plinth beam layout and erase the main boundary and wall boundary except the ISO Dash line and columns
• From the intersection of the Grid lines make the columns of required length
• Make the columns of length 1.0’ and width 1.75’ at the required positions from the Grid lines.
• Make the footing of required dimensions as F1 (2’4”x2’5”) and F2 (2’8”x3’3”).
• Do the required dimensioning from the centre of grid line
• Mark the vertical Grid Lines as A, B, C and horizontal Grid lines as 1, 2, 3
• Footing layout is made.

7. Column Layout

Procedure:

• From the footing layout erase the footing part which are in rectangle shape, for getting the column layout.
• Do the required Dimensioning.

RESULT: Required information about the plot have been drawn which includes G+1 floor plan, Elevation, Section, Plinth beam layout, footing Layout, column layout.
