Structural Notes & Typical details
(OP)
Hi, I am preparing to start my own structural company...or more like one man show and I have a few questions concerning drawing specifications.
I need to develop a set of Structural notes and typical details for plan submittals but besides copying my current employers notes and re wording them(which I will not do) I am not sure what should be included in the Structural Notes. Obviously I would include basic information about each of the materials that are being used on a project, but what else should be included in the Structural notes?
Same question about the typical details. Is there an open source resource where a person might find that information?
Thanks for any info.

You will also need a miscellaneous section that will include, but not be limited to, the contractor's requirement to field verify all measurements.

It might be a little out of date (I remember a lot of SBC references), but it would definitely give you a good start.

see also www.axiomcpl.com/csdetails.phpp (Handbook of Structural Details) for electronic typical details.
You can find lots of decent typical details on the websites of trade organizations like National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA), American Wood Council, and manufacturers such as iLevel-Weyerhauser, Dietrich, Simpson Strong Tie, etc..
And my personal favorite resources is CAD Corner.... www.cadcorner.ca
