Structural Steel Construction Drawing Standards

Structural Steel Construction Drawing Standards

Structural Steel Construction Drawing Standards

(OP)
hello,

I noticed that there is difference between construction and mechanical drawing.
Someone can please refer me to a standard in the ANSE/AICS for steel constructions drawings.
Standard that explain the symbols, explain how to create design drawing, shop-drawings and section cut.

best regards.


RE: Structural Steel Construction Drawing Standards

AISC has a book called "Detailing for Steel Construction" found here.

Also look at this paper: Strucural Steel Detailing Practices Good and Bad.

There are probably other references on the AISC.org site - do a search there.
Also - check out the AISC Code of Standard Practice which outlines various responsbilities in steel construction.

JAE hello,

Thank you for the detailed response.

I understand that there isn't a specific standard for construction drawings.

RE: Structural Steel Construction Drawing Standards

You might also look at www.nisd.org, the site of the National Institute of Steel Detailers.

They have publications and standards for USA work and maybe contact for others.

No, I do not believe there is an official document that say this is how you shall do it.
