ANS:

AIM: To study the steel building plan and summarize your understanding of the plan. Based on your study assume and explain the location of columns and beam and develop a hand sketch for each plan

SUMMARY:

The first step of any structural planning is

• to study the architectural drawing given and
• to check the various properties like geometry, symmetry, stiffness, redundancy etc.

After this assigning the column and beams are done before planning for foundation or any other components.

Columns are to be placed at:

• At or near the corners of the building.
• Intersection of beam or wall
• Select positions so as to avoid bending moment in beam. • Avoid larger spans of beams.
• Avoid larger centre-to-centre distance between columns.
• Columns on property line.

Columns should not be placed at places having door(openings) or at places that takes away the beauty of the building or at areas having less spaces.
