Rebar drawing terminiology question
Rebar drawing terminiology question
(OP)
Typically in my work I've just produced concrete and rebar drawings for erection, and had the contractor provide shop drawings for the rebar. I end with drawing titles "Concrete Plans, Sections and Details" and "Reinforcement Details". Now in addition I need to produce the detailed rebar drawings. It seems that these should be called "Reinforcement Details", but then what are the erection drawings called?

Or you could get everybody's attention and call them V%_€÷× Drawings.

you would be amazed at how many different ways people refer to aggregate materials. Many of the terms for soils and aggregates are used in other places for materials with extremely different properties. Also... where do we put them... in the base, the sub-base, or the subgrade... by the way the subgrade is below the grade easy enough, but then again so is the base and the sub-base.
A "Waterproofing Detail" is commonly used to describe both the piece of paper that shows a diagram describing the approved installation AND the actual as-built work.... i.e. "Your waterproofing detail between lines 2-4 on the South wall isn't seamed correctly."
There is absolutely no consensus in the fireproofing business how to differentiate between Restrained and Unrestrained steel, yet it is the fundamental basis of all fire rating design for passive fire protection.
The term "Structural Steel" is dubious. It includes/excludes stairs depending on who you ask.
The split is about 50/50 for describing a column between floors 2 and 3. It is either a 2nd floor column or 3rd floor column.
i could go on.

Mike:
V%_€÷× Drawings -wouldn't this be for metric bars? Wouldn't you use V%_$÷× Drawings for customary US units?

I'm going with "Reinforcement Details" and "Reinforcement Layout". Seems straight forward enough.
