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 within a plot size of 60'x20' facing east. The drawing must include the following:

  1. Architectural Drawing ( Floor plan , elevations and section ).
  2. Structural Drawing ( Column,beam,footing plan ).

INTRODUCTION :

To develop an architectural and structural plan , various commands used as follows:

  • X-LINE OR CONSTRUCTION LINE :This is used to draw infinite lines which are very much essential in developing sections and elevation.
  • LINE : Used to draw different objects like walls,doors,windows,beam,column etc....
  • OFFSET: This is also used extensively to develop walls, offset for external walls is 0.23m and for internal walls is 0.15m is taken.
  • TRIM : This is used to remove or erase the unwanted lines.
  • EXTEND: It is used to extend the lines.
  • COPY : This is used to copy an entity especially while drawing a plan where you can copy the ground floor plan to develop the first floor plan.
  • MIRROR : This tool is used to mirror/flip an objects.
  • HATCH : This tool is used to provide the appropriate hatching to different portions like brick walls , concrete lintels.
  • FILLET : This is very much essential in developing corners where the radius can be provided as 0.
  • LAYERS : This enabels us to assign different properties to different entries is a very easy way.

PROCEDURE:

  • open new drawing sheet in autocad.
  • Initially set the units of the drawing as decimal (meters).
  • Now, set the limits of the drawing : specify the lower left corneras (0,0) and specify the upper corner as (1000,1000).
  • Now, using the line option in given plot area is taken by after doing all deductions.
  • Use the line and offset command , rectangle ,trim ,extend etc to draw the plan .
  • Given plot size is 20x60 feet and I take build up area is 15x16'6"
  • Using line , ofset and trim command to create a plan

Sizes:

  • KItchen - 8x6'6"
  • Bedroom - 8x6'6"
  • Hall - 6'6"x8'
  • Toilet - 6'6"x3'
  • Each floor hight - 9'
  • Stair rise - 6" and thread - 9"
  • Exterior wall - 9"
  • Interior wall - 4.5"
  • Window - 3'x3'6"
  • Wnidow 2 - 3'6"x3'6"
  • All columns are 1'x9"
    • which ever needed.

    RESULTS : DRAFTED IAMGES OF RESENDENTIONAL BUILDING IS SHOWN AS FOLLOW :

    1. FOOR PLAN:

    2. SECTION :

    3.ELEVATION:

    4. COLUMN DRAWING:

    5. BEAM DRAWING:
