Any web site for Architect & Structural Drawings ???

(OP)
I am looking for architect & structural drawings for my collection. Are there any web site for them ? Thanks in advance.

RE: Any web site for Architect & Structural Drawings ???

I am guessing that you are looking for CAD details not plans unless you plans as examples to go by. Please elaborate.

There is at least one web site that has CAD details for various engineering disciplines including architectural. However, there is an inherent danger of using structural details blindly as each building/structure will require special detail that is unique to the force magnitude, direction, code requirements (AISC, ACI 318, or ACI 530 for CMU, Timber) etc.

I like to develop my own details and then use them for future projects or develop standard detail and along with it develop a schedule so it can be used repeatedly.

Lots of manufacturer’s develop lots of CAD details for their products and they can be used by architects and engineers if they specify their products. This is fine as long as you really have full understanding of the construction system of a building.

Let me know what you really need so I can be more direct.

Good luck

Hi Lutfi,

I actually need the complete plans of a job (they include CAD details).

RE: Any web site for Architect & Structural Drawings ???

Go the US army corps of engineers. You can download entire construction plans for free. They are read only type plans. So you can print a complete set if you like.

Here is the web site:  http://tsn.wes.army.mil/

At that site you can download all bid sets of plans that are out for bid by the USACOE.

I hope this helps.
